Multiple Listviews in single Activity in Android?

I want to have multiple listviews in single activity. But only one listview should be displayed at one time. The listviews will be loaded dynamically. So, how can I fill all the four listviews at the same time and display only one开发者_如何学编程?

Instead of using all that code to flip between listviews why not put all your listviews inside a ViewFlipper? It the easiest way an required almost 1 line of code! :)

You can do one thing for your problem. The reason you will only see the one list view, may be because one list will have the fill parent paramter value for its height. What you have to do is, use absolute layout or just fix the height for each layout. Also use the scrollview to place the controls. Moreover, if you post your XML layout here, then it will be easier to answer your query as to where you need to make changes.

You should use a FrameLayout; it allows z ordering of its child views which means that you can have your ListView stacked one above the other. You can then toggle visibility of each of these ListViews from your code using View#setVisibility() method. You would create appropriate adapters for each of these ListViews and whenever a ListView is to be drawn the framwork will call getView() method of the required adapter.

I have used mostly the same way of showing multiple listviews as you suggested i.e. using setvisibility.

But now what I want is to have the Bitmap image of all the four listviews. Suppose, my activity starts and the data are loaded into all four listviews by binding them to their respective adapters. Now, when I am trying to fetch the Bitmap using getDrawingCache() it always returns null to me.

So, can you let me know how can I fetch the Bitmap of all the four listviews?
