Creating a List using List View in Android Studio

Hello Everyone,


In this blog we are using the concept of List View. ListView is a view which groups several items and display them in vertical scrollable list. The list items are automatically inserted to the list using an Adapter that pulls content from a source such as an array or database. Here we are using a array of string to store the list items.


Follow the steps given below to create an android project with the ListView
    1) Open Android Studio and select New Project. Select an Empty Activity.
  2) Click on Project -- Res -- Layout -- (Right Click on Layout) -- New -- Layout Resource File. Rename this file as "activity_listview". This file will display the contents in textbox.
Here we require two xml files, one to define the structure of list view and other to display the content of list view. The activity_main.xml file contains the ListView structure.
Thus all the files necessary for this project are created. Now just copy-paste the code given below in the respective files.


MainActivity.java

       
	
		
        package com.irrationalsapiens.demo5;

        import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
        import android.os.Bundle;
        import android.view.View;
        import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
        import android.widget.AdapterView;
        import android.widget.ListView;
        import android.widget.TextView;
        import android.widget.Toast;

        public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
            ListView listView;
            TextView textView;
            String[] statelist= {"Arunachal Pradesh","Assam", "Meghalaya","Tripura","Mizoram","Nagaland","Manipur"};

            protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

                listView=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.state_list) ;
                textView=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
                final ArrayAdapter adapter= new ArrayAdapter(this,R.layout.activity_listview,statelist);
                listView.setAdapter(adapter);

                listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener(){
                    @Override
                    public void onItemClick(AdapterView adapterView,View view, int position, long l){
                        String value="Selected State: " + adapter.getItem(position);

                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), value,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }
                });
            }
        }

 	

activity_main.xml

       
	
		
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

                  android:layout_height="wrap_content">
              </ListView>
          </LinearLayout>

 	

activity_listview.xml

       
	
    
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
          <TextView
              xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent"
              android:padding="7dp"
              android:textSize="25dp"
              android:textAlignment="center"
              android:textColor="#000000"
              android:id="@+id/textView">
          </TextView>
