Question

So I’ve added button, but I’m getting an error with position variable. Am I doing it right?

    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    TaskListItem tli;
    if(null == convertView){
        tli =(TaskListItem)View.inflate(context, R.layout.task_list_items, null);
        tli.setBinButton((ImageButton) tli.findViewById(R.id.bin));
        tli.getBinButton().setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {
                tasks.remove(position);
                notifyDataSetChanged();
            }
        });
    }
    else{
        tli = (TaskListItem)convertView;
    }
    tli.setTask(tasks.get(position));
    return tli;
    }

I’m writing a task manager program, and having trouble with the listView. I’ve created the list and now I want to delete an item on the list when the button on the item is clicked. I’m not sure where the button should be created and add the listener. Can someone help me please thanks.

public class ViewTasksActivity extends ListActivity {

private Button addButton;
private TaskManagerApplication app;
private TaskListAdapter adapter;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    setUpViews();

    app = (TaskManagerApplication)getApplication();
    adapter = new TaskListAdapter(app.getCurrentTask(), this);
    setListAdapter(adapter);
}

protected void onResume(){
    super.onResume();
    adapter.forceReload();
}


@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
    adapter.toggleTaskCompleteAtPosition(position);
}

protected void removeCompletedTasks() {
    adapter.removeCompletedTasks();

}

private void setUpViews() {
    addButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.add_button);      
    addButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(ViewTasksActivity.this, AddTaskActivity.class);
            startActivity(intent);              
        }
    });

}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}}

If the button is subview of row view then in getView() set the position as tag of button view. and set the activity as onclicklistener.

In onClick, check the tag of button which will tell you the exact position of row.
