android listview item height

Question

Why when i use SimpleCursorAdapter for ListView i have items height in ListView like this -    My code based on this   But when using arrays Listview items have big height       I learn listview based on this   Row layout for item listview is   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt TextView android id    id text1  xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  android layout width  wrap content  android layout height  wrap content   gt    So My question is why there is a difference in row heights when using ArrayAdapter and SimpleCursorAdapter

The height of list view items are adjusted based on its contents  In first image  no content  so height is very minimum  In second image  height is increased based on the size of the text  Because  you specified android layout height  wrap content

You need to use padding on the list item layout so space is added on the edges of the item  just increasing the font size won t do that     lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt TextView android id    id text1      xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      android layout width  wrap content       android layout height  wrap content      android padding  8dp    gt

This is my solution There is a nested LinearLayout     lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt LinearLayout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      android layout width  fill parent      android layout height  fill parent   gt        lt LinearLayout         android layout width  match parent          android layout height  wrap content          android orientation  vertical   gt            lt TextView             android id    id item              android layout width  match parent              android layout height  47dp              android background   drawable box arrow top bg              android gravity  center              android text                    android textColor   666              android textSize  16sp    gt       lt  LinearLayout gt    lt  LinearLayout gt

The trick for me was not setting the height -- but instead setting the minHeight  This must be applied to the root view of whatever layout your custom adapter is using to render each row

I did something like that      Override public View getView int position  View convertView  ViewGroup parent         View view   super getView position  convertView  parent        TextView textView    TextView  view findViewById android R id text1       textView setHeight 30       textView setMinimumHeight 30          YOUR CHOICE OF COLOR       textView setTextColor Color BLACK        return view      You must put the both fields textView setHeight 30                       textView setMinimumHeight 30   or it won t change anything  For me it worked  amp  i had the same problem
