Android : Alternate colors in ListView using ArrayAdapter [duplicate]

Answer 1

you firstly need to use custom adapter,in its getView() method u have to check the position.

if(position % 2 == 0)
           row.setcolor(R.color.color1);
else 
      row.setcolor(R.color.color2);

hope u get the point.

Answer 2

Create custom adapter class by extending BaseAdapter.

Once you do this, you will get getView() method, inside that method you can do operations for Views you want for your list item.

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

  if(position[i]%2==0)
  {
     // even position color
  }
  else
  {
    // odd position color
  }
}

Answer 3

use Custome adapter.. a pseudo code would look like this..

Class MyAdpater extends BaseAdapter{

public ColorAndData{

private Color color;
private Data data;
}
ColorAndData dataAndColor[];
public MyAdapter(ColorAndData[] data)
this.dataAndColor=data;

}

public view getView(View convertView)
{
dataAndColor.getColor() //and set color
dataAndColor.getdata() //and set data

}
