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

Here my solution:

public class MyAdapter extends ArrayAdapter {

    public MyAdapter(Context context, int resId) {
        super(context, resId);
    }

    private List visibleEntries() {

        List result = new ArrayList();

        int i = 0;
        try {
            while (true) {
                if (getItem(i).isVisible())
                    result.add(getItem(i));
                i++;
            }

        } catch(Exception e) {

        }

        return result;

    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return visibleEntries().size();
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        LinearLayout layout = 
            convertView == null ? 
                (LinearLayout) LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.entry, parent, false) :
                (LinearLayout) convertView;

        MyEntry entry = visibleEntries().get(position);

        ...

        return layout;
    }
}
