[java] Add Items to ListView - Android

This is my first experience with android. I'm trying to add items to my ListView. I use Tabs, and the only way to see that the item was added is to change tab and then come back to the first tab.

I searched around, and I've always found

adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

but doesn't work for me.

I have created the project with, as I said, Fixed Tabs + Swipe. I simply want to have listviews which rows have an EditText, a Spinner and a Button. On the bottom of the Fragment used for the tab, I have an ImageButton. I want to click on it and have a new Row.

my custom Adapter:

package com.andreapivetta.uconverter;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;

public class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
private final Context context;
private final int resourceID;

    public CustomAdapter(Context context, int resource, ArrayList<String> bah) {
        super(context, resource, bah);

        this.context = context;
        this.resourceID = resource;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        View rowView = inflater.inflate(resourceID, parent, false);

        return rowView;
    }
}

}

Note that I'm working only with the first tab right now...

What am I doing wrong? :)

This question is related to java android listview android-listview fragment

The answer is


Try this one it will work

public class Third extends ListActivity {
private ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
private List<String> liste;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_third);
     String[] values = new String[] { "Android", "iPhone", "WindowsMobile",
                "Blackberry", "WebOS", "Ubuntu", "Windows7", "Max OS X",
                "Linux", "OS/2" };
     liste = new ArrayList<String>();
     Collections.addAll(liste, values);
     adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, liste);
     setListAdapter(adapter);
}
 @Override
  protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
     liste.add("Nokia");
     adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
  }
}

public OnClickListener moreListener = new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
          adapter.add("aaaa")
      }
}
