I've seen example com.example.android.apis.view.List11 from ApiDemos. In that example, each row takes the view android.R.simple_list_item_multiple_choice. Each such view has a TextView and a CheckBox.
Now I want each view to have 2 TextView's and 1 CheckBox, somewhat similar to the List3 example. I tried creating a custom layout file row.xml like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<CheckBox
android:id="@+id/checkbox"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/text_name"
android:textSize="13px"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/checkbox"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/text_phone"
android:textSize="9px"
android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/checkbox"
android:layout_below="@id/text_name"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</RelativeLayout>
Then in Activity.onCreate(), I do like this:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Query the contacts
mCursor = getContentResolver().query(Phones.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
startManagingCursor(mCursor);
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
R.layout.row,
mCursor,
new String[] { Phones.NAME, Phones.NUMBER},
new int[] { R.id.text_name, R.id.text_phone });
setListAdapter(adapter);
getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
}
The result kind of looks like what I want, but it looks like the list doesn't know which item of it is selected. Also, I need to click exactly on the checkbox. In the List11 example, I only need to click on the item row.
So what do I need to do to make a multiple choice list with my custom view for each row? Many thanks.
