Multiple listviews in one layout android

Question

I want to populate two listviews in one activity. For that i placed two listviews in one layout. My problem is that both listviews are populated but only one listview is visible. Now when i make one layout INVISIBLE, it will display another listview.

Here i am posting my xml file. Is there any problem in my layout ? Please suggest solution.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"

    <Button 
        android:id="@+id/btnAlbumwise"
        android:text="View Albumwise"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        
        />

    <RelativeLayout 
        android:id="@+id/layout_songlist"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"

        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:paddingTop="10dp"
        android:layout_below="@+id/btnAlbumwise"        
        >

         <ListView  
            android:id="@+id/liist"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:divider="#242424"

Code to populate listview "liist". PlaylistActivity.java

      Cursor cursor1 = managedQuery(MediaStore.Audio.Albums.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, null,null, null, null);
      if (cursor1 == null) 
      {
          //Query Failed , Handle error.
      }
      else if (!cursor1.moveToFirst()) 
      {
         //No media on the device.
      }
      else
      {   
        //  int albumName = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Albums.ALBUM);
          int id = cursor1.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Albums._ID);
          int albumartist = cursor1.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Albums.ARTIST);

          for(int i=0;i<cursor1.getCount();i++)
          {
                String Name = cursor1.getString(cursor1.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Albums.ALBUM));
                Integer albumid = cursor1.getInt(id);                       
                String artist = cursor1.getString(albumartist);

                Bitmap bitmap = null;
                bitmap = getArtwork(context, albumid);
                    lstImage.add(bitmap);
                    lstName.add(Name);
                    lstArtist.add(artist);

                cursor1.moveToNext();
           }
       }
       cursor1.close();                    

       rowItems = new ArrayList<RowItem>();
        for (int i = 0; i < lstName.size(); i++) {
            RowItem item = new RowItem(lstImage.get(i), lstName.get(i) , lstArtist.get(i));
            rowItems.add(item);
        }          
        CustomListViewAdapter adapter = new CustomListViewAdapter(PlayListActivity.this,
                R.layout.list_item, rowItems);
        lv1.setAdapter(adapter);
        lv1.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                    int position, long id) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                RowItem item = rowItems.get(position);
                String title = item.getTitle();
                Intent in = new Intent(PlayListActivity.this,AlbumsongListActivity.class);

                // Sending songIndex to PlayerActivity
                in.putExtra("albumTitle", title);
                in.putExtra("list", 0);
                in.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                startActivity(in);

            }
        });

Now when i click on item it starts another activity Albumsonglistactivity.java

public class AlbumsongListActivity extends ListActivity {
@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
String[] from = { "songTitle", "artist" };
        int[] to = { R.id.album_songTitle, R.id.album_songArtist };
        adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, getAlbumSongList(context),
                R.layout.albumsonglist_item, from, to) 
        {
            public long getItemId(int position) 
            {
                return songsListData.indexOf(getItem(position));
            }
        };

        setListAdapter(adapter);
        ListView lv = getListView();
        lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() 
        {
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                    int position, long id) 
            {
                // getting listitem index
                int songIndex = (int) id;

                // Starting new intent
                Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MusicPlayertemp.class);
                in.putExtra("songIndex", songIndex);
                in.putExtra("albumtitle", albumName);
                in.putExtra("listFlag", 3);
                startActivity(in);              
            }
        });
    }

    public ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> getAlbumSongList(Context c) 
    {
        String whereClause = MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM + " = ? ";
        String s[] = new String[] { albumName };

        } 
        else if (!cursor.moveToFirst()) 
        {
            // No media on the device.
        } 
        else 
        {
            int titleColumn = cursor.getColumnIndex(android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE);
            int idColumn = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA);
            int artistcolumn = cursor.getColumnIndex(android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST);
            albumid = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM_ID));
            int id = cursor.getColumnIndex(android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID);
            for (int i = 0; i < cursor.getCount(); i++) 
            {
                String thisTitle = cursor.getString(titleColumn);
                String path = cursor.getString(idColumn);
                String artist = cursor.getString(artistcolumn);         
                String ID = cursor.getString(id);
                HashMap<String, String> song = new HashMap<String, String>();
                song.put("songTitle", thisTitle);
                song.put("songPath", path);
                song.put("artist", artist);
                song.put("id", ID);
                // Adding each song to SongList
                songsList.add(song);
                cursor.moveToNext();
            }
        }
        // looping through playlist
        for (int i = 0; i < songsList.size(); i++) 
        {

        return songsListData;
    }

In albumsonglistActivity, if i click on item it doesn't invoked..

Bedim

in first listview only 3 items are present then also it does'n show another listview. To view another listview , i have to hide one layout. After that, if i click on second listview item then it will start another activity which also contains listview but this listview items are not responsive. It means when i click on any item..it doesn't fire onItemClick() event... – Bedim

Have you set the listener to listview using setOnItemClickListener? – Vladimir

yes...i have set listener. – Bedim

Have you checked by putting a log message inside your onItemClickListener method? – Vladimir

i have set breakpoints at each line of onItemClickListener but debugger doesn't go there. So there is no use to put log message inside it. – Bedim

Also if you are using samsung Galexy S then might have this issue. https://mcmap.net/q/1922356/-stepping-through-android-code-on-the-phone-big-line-number-discrepancy – Vladimir

Answer 1

This is the problem because you are setting another layout below the first one and first one takes height to fill_parent.

You should use Linear Layout and put both listview inside that and use layout_weight property to make both listview same height.

For example you can follow below hierarchy. Its not original code but it just a structure which you can use to develop your layout

<LinearLayout orientation="verical">
   <ListView layout_weight=1></ListView>   
   <ListView layout_weight=1></ListView>
</LinearLayout>

Vladimir

ok..but now, if i click on secondlistview item it starts another activity which has other layout having listview and it is populatd automatically. When i click on this new listviews item, it doesn't fire onItemCLick event. And logcat shows "couldn't save id of...". So what is the problem ? – Bedim

Answer 2

you have given android:layout_height="fill_parent" to both Relative layout. this is why you are unable to show both listviews.

use linear layout and By using weight you can divide the screen for displaying both listviews

Answer 3

Add

android:layout_weight = "1" 

to both RelativeLayouts that contains the listView

Try updating your code like this

<RelativeLayout 
    android:id="@+id/layout_songlist"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingTop="10dp"
    android:layout_below="@+id/layout_albumlist"  
    >

    <EditText android:id="@+id/inputSearch"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="33dp"
        android:hint="Search.."
        android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"
        android:cursorVisible="false"
        android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext" 
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="5dp"            
    />

    <ListView
        android:id="@android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:divider="#000000"
        android:dividerHeight="4dp"
        android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector"
        android:layout_below="@+id/inputSearch" 
        android:paddingTop="8dp"/>

</RelativeLayout>

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/layout_albumlist"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingTop="10dp"
    android:layout_below="@+id/btnAlbumwise"        
    >

     <ListView  
        android:id="@+id/liist"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:divider="#242424"
        android:dividerHeight="1dp"
        android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector"
    />
</RelativeLayout>

Answer 5

The second layout is fill_parent and the first one is placed below it. So it is impossible to see.

I assume you want something like this

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/playlist_lyt"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingTop="10dp" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btnAlbumwise"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="View Albumwise" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:paddingTop="10dp"
        android:weightSum="1" >

        <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/layout_albumlist"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="0.5" >

            <ListView
                android:id="@+id/liist"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:divider="#242424"
                android:dividerHeight="1dp"
                android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector" />
        </RelativeLayout>

        <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/layout_songlist"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="0.5" >

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/inputSearch"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="33dp"
                android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
                android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
                android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext"
                android:cursorVisible="false"
                android:hint="Search.."
                android:inputType="textVisiblePassword" />

            <ListView
                android:id="@android:id/list"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_below="@+id/inputSearch"
                android:divider="#000000"
                android:dividerHeight="4dp"
                android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector"
                android:paddingTop="8dp" />
        </RelativeLayout>

    <RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Best solution for this is to create a custom ScrollView and use it to replace <ScrollView> with <in.parx.VerticalScrollView>

Use following for VerticalScrollView.java

import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.widget.ScrollView;

public class VerticalScrollView extends ScrollView{

    public VerticalScrollView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public VerticalScrollView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public VerticalScrollView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        final int action = ev.getAction();
        switch (action)
        {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                Log.i("VerticalScrollview", "onInterceptTouchEvent: DOWN super false" );
                super.onTouchEvent(ev);
                break;

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                return false; // redirect MotionEvents to ourself

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:
                Log.i("VerticalScrollview", "onInterceptTouchEvent: CANCEL super false" );
                super.onTouchEvent(ev);
                break;

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                Log.i("VerticalScrollview", "onInterceptTouchEvent: UP super false" );
                return false;

            default: Log.i("VerticalScrollview", "onInterceptTouchEvent: " + action ); break;
        }

        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        super.onTouchEvent(ev);
        Log.i("VerticalScrollview", "onTouchEvent. action: " +ev.getAction());
        return true;
    }
}
