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"?>

              <ListView
                  android:id="@+id/state_list"
                  android:padding="5dp"

                  android:layout_width="match_parent"
                  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>

Android Architecture Stack

Hello Everyone! In this article we are discussing about the android architecture. It is essential for all the android application developers to understand the android architecture to get a clearer idea about the structure on which the application is made. From the exam point of view, the android architecture stack question has been asked several times (sometimes along with the Dalvik Virtual Machine ). Android operating system is a stack of software components which is roughly divided into five sections and four layers. The five sections of android architecture are- Linux kernel Libraries Android Runtime Application Framework Applications This is a layered architecture with each section having a different functionality. A) Linux Kernel - It is the bottom most layer of the architecture. This is the kernel on which android is based. This layer provides a level of abstraction between the hardware devices. It also contains all the l...
