I want to add items to the listview underneath the edittext. This works perfectly.
Now I would like to be able to delete some entry's. Here is were I cant figure out how it is done. I was implementing the onclicklistener for the delete button but the program keeps crashing. I think this is because the delete button doesn't exist already.
I tried finding stuff online but never have I gotten an answer that I could use.
I you could help me out that would be a huge help.
PS: not all this code is from me, found some example code on: http://wptrafficanalyzer.in/blog/dynamically-add-items-to-listview-in-android/
Here is my main activity:
/** Note that here we are inheriting ListActivity class instead of Activity class **/
public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
Button del;
ListView lv;
/** Items entered by the user is stored in this ArrayList variable */
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
/** Declaring an ArrayAdapter to set items to ListView */
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
/** Setting a custom layout for the list activity */
setContentView(R.layout.main);
del = (Button) findViewById(R.id.removeButton);
/** Reference to the button of the layout main.xml */
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnAdd);
/** Defining the ArrayAdapter to set items to ListView */
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.item, R.id.nameText, list);
/** Defining a click event listener for the button "Add" */
OnClickListener listener = new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
EditText edit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtItem);
list.add(edit.getText().toString());
edit.setText("");
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
};
del.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
int pos = v.getId();
System.out.println(pos);
Object toRemove = adapter.getItem(pos);
adapter.remove(toRemove);
}
});
/** Setting the event listener for the add button */
btn.setOnClickListener(listener);
/** Setting the adapter to the ListView */
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
}
