how to resolve "Layout has more than 80 views, bad for performance"?

Question

I'm doing a layout a bit complex, just that I can't fix the error that is indicated by LINT (...has blackberries than 80 views, bad for performance) This is the layout:

I read to use a ListView, but how should I to do? Not all the rows are equal, or in any case there are some elements in the middle which are not equal to all other rows!

Image:

Nary

Can you post an image of how it should look? This would probably help. With a ListView you can use a custom layout in your Adapter and decide to show/not show certain Views depending on some value, if this works for you. – World

what layout are you trying to implement? A screenshot would be nice. Also using this many views would slow your app – Kanarese

@World I add the image ;) – Nary

Please see my answer, you need to extend base adapter and do some conditional logic based on what section you are in to determine how many rows to add – Lapful

Answer 1

This definitely looks like a good candidate for a ListView. As I stated in my comment, you can use a custom layout in your Adapter. I don't know how you are getting your data for it so I can't say exactly how to check but in each round of getView() you can check the data and decide which Views to show/hide.

Simply create the layout with the TextViews, etc... that each row might need, looks like probably inside of a vertical LinearLayout with horizontal LinearLayouts inside or just a RelativeLayout then change visibility to visible/gone depending on what you need.

If you are unfamiliar with doing this then you can see this tutorial on doing it.

Adapter Docs

ListView Docs

As pointed out in a comment, you could inflate different layouts in your getView() method of your Adapter if you have very different layouts which may make toggling visibility a bad approach. This just depends on your data and layouts.

World

Or ListView also support multiple row types, instead of show hide you can add suppport for multiple row types and inflate appropriate row from getView(). – Ahoufe

I solved!! Thanks!! I don't know if i solved correctly....but...I solved with implementing a ListView – Nary

Haha...you're welcome! If you solved with ListView and it is working then you probably solved correctly. – World

Its bad practice for the visbile/gone thing. I think its better to do what @M-WaJeEh said – Lapful

@Lapful I'm not sure how bad it is. That just depends on how it is implemented and what the data will be like. I have a ListView using that because I have one row that shows certain ImageButtons depending on what comes from the server. But, yes, that suggestion should work, also. The point is that a custom View needs to be used either way – World

Answer 2

you must use a MergeAdapter where you can merge differents adapter to only one. For example titles and values. I got the code from StackOverflow but i can't find the topic so i paste here the code that i found.

    }

    public Object[] getSections() {
        ArrayList<Object> sections = new ArrayList<Object>();

        for (ListAdapter piece : pieces) {
            if (piece instanceof SectionIndexer) {
                Object[] curSections = ((SectionIndexer) piece).getSections();

                if (curSections != null) {
                    for (Object section : curSections) {
                        sections.add(section);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        if (sections.size() == 0) {
            return (null);
        }

        return (sections.toArray(new Object[0]));
    }

    private class CascadeDataSetObserver extends DataSetObserver {
        @Override
        public void onChanged() {
            notifyDataSetChanged();
        }

        @Override
        public void onInvalidated() {
            notifyDataSetInvalidated();
        }
    }
}

Here how you need to use it:

    MergeAdapter adapter = new MergeAdapter();
AdapterA adapterA = new AdapterA(...);
AdapterB adapterB = new AdapterB(...);

adapter.addAdapter(adapterA);
adapter.addAdapter(adapterB);

listview.setAdapter(adapter);

In the listview you will have the adapterA and andapterB one after other and shower correcly. The two adapter can have diffente object.

Wow this is bad, use a ListView instead of a TableView and dynamically add rows based on what section you are in.

I would extend BaseAdapter to achieve this
