Android - Inflating ListView

Question

I am trying to populate a listview where each row has 2 textviews and a button. I think I nearly have it working properly but right now the ListView only shows 1 item in the

Answer 1

It is because you inflate the View when you create the Adapter. Since you only create the Adapter once, you only inflate one View. A View needs to be inflated for every visible row in your ListView.

Instead of passing the inflated View to the constructor of MyListAdapter:

MyListAdapter adapter = new MyListAdapter(getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.shelfrow,this));

...

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

    if(convertView == null) {
        convertView = renderer;
    }
    ...
}

Thy this:

// Remove the constructor you created that takes a View.
MyListAdapter adapter = new MyListAdapter();

...

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

    if(convertView == null) {
        // Inflate a new View every time a new row requires one.
        convertView = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.shelfrow, parent, false);
    }
    ...
}
