Question

This is my Code :

 private ArrayList<Receipt> receipts = new ArrayList<Receipt>();
    ArrayAdapter<Receipt> adapter;

// In onCreate
    adapter=new ArrayAdapter<Receipt>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, receipts);
    listView.setAdapter(adapter);
//---------------------------------    

    private void addReceiptInListView(Receipt receipt)
    {
            adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

Now the receipts contain following things in it

1- Title,
2- Comments
3- Reference No.
4- Image

I want to show all these things in my added listView. How can i show that.

Thanks in Advance 🙂

Answer 1

ArrayAdapter, by default, will show only a list of String so it can’t show your full Receipt. To show the extra information of your Receipt object will have to implement your own ArrayAdapter and provide the custom layout for the row and then manually bind the Receipt data with the views in the getView() method of the ArrayAdapter.

Here is a link with a tutorial about implementing your own custom adapter.
