Android: CustomListAdapter
I have implemented a custom list view which looks like the twitter timeline.
adapter = new MyClickableListAdapter(this, R.layout.timeline, mObjectList);
setListAdapter(adapter);
The constructor for MyClickableListAdapter is as follows
private class MyClickableListAdapter extends ClickableListAdapter{
public MyClickableListAdapter(Context context, int viewId, List objects) {
super(context, viewId, objects);
}
ClickableListAdapter extends BaseAdapter and implements the necessary methods.
The xml code for the list view is as follows
<ListView
android:id="@+id/android:list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
This is what it looks like.
I have 3 questions
1) I t开发者_JAVA百科ried registering a context menu for the list view by adding the line after setting the list adapter
registerforContextMenu(getListView())
;
But on long-click the menu doesnt get displayed. I cannot understand what I am doing wrong!
2) Is it possible to display a textview above the listview? I tried it by adding the code for textview above the listview. But then, only the textview gets displayed.
3) I have seen in many twitter clients that on clicking post in the options menu a window pops up from the top of the screen covering only as much its required and rest of the timeline is visible. How can this be done in Android? A window to enter the message and on pressing post the message is passed to the Activity that started it. The Window pops up from the top and takes only a quarter of the screen, rest of the screen displays the contents of the earlier activity.
Any help would be much appreciated..

Did you implement onCreateContextMenu()?
Is it possible to display a textview above the listview?
Yes.
I tried it by adding the code for textview above the listview. But then, only the textview gets displayed.
See this sample project from one of my books for a TextView
above a ListView
.
How can this be done possibly without starting a new activity?
It is a little difficult to answer that given your description. My guess is that it is via an animation. See this sample project from another one of my books for a Twitter client where the field and button for a status update can be hidden and shown via an option menu choice and an animation.
