Android sort ListView alphabetically

Question

So I\'m trying to sort a simple ArrayAdapter for ListView. Here\'s what I\'ve tried:

ListView lv;
String[] months = {
        \"January\",
              


        

Answer 1

You didn't called setAdapter(adapter), after sorting your items.

Use like below

adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, list);
lv.setAdapter(adapter);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

instead of

adapter.clear(); // Useless 
adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, list);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
