How can I Reuse Methods for ListViews?

Question

I have several methods in the ListAC ListActivity that I want to reuse and would like to put in separate classes (if possible??). I will be having dozens of ListView Activities

Answer 1

Are there any similarities in the code of your extended SimpleCursorAdapter? With regards to code like getting the external storage state, you could implement a class called, for example Utils and make the methods within it static. You will more than likely need a Context or Activity passed as a parameter however.

For example this is my external storage state checker.

public static final boolean isExternalStorageAvailable() {
    if (Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

And my network state checker.

public static final boolean isPreferedNetworkAvailable(final Context context) {
    final ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager)context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    final NetworkInfo networkInfo = connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(connectivityManager.getNetworkPreference());
    return networkInfo.isAvailable();
}
