[android] ListView with Add and Delete Buttons in each Row in android

I am developing an android application in which I have made one ListView. I have to add 2 buttons with each row in ListView. These 2 buttons are Add and Delete. When user selects one of the buttons then some actions should be taken. How can I do it?

This question is related to android android-listview add

The answer is


on delete button click event

public void delete(View v){                

    ListView listview1;
    ArrayList<E> datalist;

    final int position = listview1.getPositionForView((View) v.getParent());
    datalist.remove(position);
    myAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

}

You will first need to create a custom layout xml which will represent a single item in your list. You will add your two buttons to this layout along with any other items you want to display from your list.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" > 

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/list_item_string"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:paddingLeft="8dp"
    android:textSize="18sp"
    android:textStyle="bold" /> 

<Button
    android:id="@+id/delete_btn"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
    android:text="Delete" /> 

<Button
    android:id="@+id/add_btn"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/delete_btn"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    android:text="Add" />

</RelativeLayout>

Next you will need to create a Custom ArrayAdapter Class which you will use to inflate your xml layout, as well as handle your buttons and on click events.

public class MyCustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter implements ListAdapter { 
private ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(); 
private Context context; 



public MyCustomAdapter(ArrayList<String> list, Context context) { 
    this.list = list; 
    this.context = context; 
} 

@Override
public int getCount() { 
    return list.size(); 
} 

@Override
public Object getItem(int pos) { 
    return list.get(pos); 
} 

@Override
public long getItemId(int pos) { 
    return list.get(pos).getId();
    //just return 0 if your list items do not have an Id variable.
} 

@Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    View view = convertView;
    if (view == null) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); 
        view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_custom_list_layout, null);
    } 

    //Handle TextView and display string from your list
    TextView listItemText = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.list_item_string); 
    listItemText.setText(list.get(position)); 

    //Handle buttons and add onClickListeners
    Button deleteBtn = (Button)view.findViewById(R.id.delete_btn);
    Button addBtn = (Button)view.findViewById(R.id.add_btn);

    deleteBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) { 
            //do something
            list.remove(position); //or some other task
            notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
    });
    addBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) { 
            //do something
            notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
    });

    return view; 
} 
}

Finally, in your activity you can instantiate your custom ArrayAdapter class and set it to your listview.

public class MyActivity extends Activity { 

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { 
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_my_activity); 

    //generate list
    ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    list.add("item1");
    list.add("item2");

    //instantiate custom adapter
    MyCustomAdapter adapter = new MyCustomAdapter(list, this);

    //handle listview and assign adapter
    ListView lView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.my_listview);
    lView.setAdapter(adapter);
}

Hope this helps!


public class UserCustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<User> {
 Context context;
 int layoutResourceId;
 ArrayList<User> data = new ArrayList<User>();

 public UserCustomAdapter(Context context, int layoutResourceId,
   ArrayList<User> data) {
  super(context, layoutResourceId, data);
  this.layoutResourceId = layoutResourceId;
  this.context = context;
  this.data = data;
 }

 @Override
 public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
  View row = convertView;
  UserHolder holder = null;

  if (row == null) {
   LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity) context).getLayoutInflater();
   row = inflater.inflate(layoutResourceId, parent, false);
   holder = new UserHolder();
   holder.textName = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
   holder.textAddress = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.textView2);
   holder.textLocation = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.textView3);
   holder.btnEdit = (Button) row.findViewById(R.id.button1);
   holder.btnDelete = (Button) row.findViewById(R.id.button2);
   row.setTag(holder);
  } else {
   holder = (UserHolder) row.getTag();
  }
  User user = data.get(position);
  holder.textName.setText(user.getName());
  holder.textAddress.setText(user.getAddress());
  holder.textLocation.setText(user.getLocation());
  holder.btnEdit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Log.i("Edit Button Clicked", "**********");
    Toast.makeText(context, "Edit button Clicked",
      Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
   }
  });
  holder.btnDelete.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Log.i("Delete Button Clicked", "**********");
    Toast.makeText(context, "Delete button Clicked",
      Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
   }
  });
  return row;

 }

 static class UserHolder {
  TextView textName;
  TextView textAddress;
  TextView textLocation;
  Button btnEdit;
  Button btnDelete;
 }
}
