How to hide an item in a listview in Android

Question

I know, this question was asked before, but I haven\'t seen a working answer for it.

Is there any way to hide some items in a ListView without changing

Answer 1

In some case you have an easy solution :

I have to hide a View in a list view because the items to populate the view are invalid, So I don't want to see the view :

In my list adapter :

public class PlanListAdapter extends BaseAdapter{

//some code here : constructor ......

    // my code that create the view from the item list (one view by item ...)
    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {


        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) this.context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_layout, null);

        if(my_data_are_not_valid) {
             //just create an empty view     
             convertView = new Space(context);  
        }
        else {
             //populate the view with data here     
             populate(convertView);
        }

        return convertView;
}

//some code here to populate the view ...


}
