I'm using the ViewPager from the compatibility library. I have succussfully got it displaying several views which I can page through.
However, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to update the ViewPager with a new set of Views.
I've tried all sorts of things like calling mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(), mViewPager.invalidate() even creating a brand new adapter each time I want to use a new List of data.
Nothing has helped, the textviews remain unchanged from the original data.
Update: I made a little test project and I've almost been able to update the views. I'll paste the class below.
What doesn't appear to update however is the 2nd view, the 'B' remains, it should display 'Y' after pressing the update button.
public class ViewPagerBugActivity extends Activity {
private ViewPager myViewPager;
private List<String> data;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
data = new ArrayList<String>();
data.add("A");
data.add("B");
data.add("C");
myViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.my_view_pager);
myViewPager.setAdapter(new MyViewPagerAdapter(this, data));
Button updateButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.update_button);
updateButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
updateViewPager();
}
});
}
private void updateViewPager() {
data.clear();
data.add("X");
data.add("Y");
data.add("Z");
myViewPager.getAdapter().notifyDataSetChanged();
}
private class MyViewPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {
private List<String> data;
private Context ctx;
public MyViewPagerAdapter(Context ctx, List<String> data) {
this.ctx = ctx;
this.data = data;
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return data.size();
}
@Override
public Object instantiateItem(View collection, int position) {
TextView view = new TextView(ctx);
view.setText(data.get(position));
((ViewPager)collection).addView(view);
return view;
}
@Override
public void destroyItem(View collection, int position, Object view) {
((ViewPager) collection).removeView((View) view);
}
@Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
return view == object;
}
@Override
public Parcelable saveState() {
return null;
}
@Override
public void restoreState(Parcelable arg0, ClassLoader arg1) {
}
@Override
public void startUpdate(View arg0) {
}
@Override
public void finishUpdate(View arg0) {
}
}
}
