baseadapter

When you implement SpinnerAdapter you get getDropDownView , how does it differ from getView which you have when you need to extend BaseAdapter . If we look at the following code, we have name and value array in getView and getDropDownView. private void initView() { SpinnerDropDownAdapter sddadapter = new SpinnerDropDownAdapter(this); ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, sddadapter.name); Spinner getViewSP = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.getview_sp); getViewSP.setAdapter(adapter); Spinner getViewWDropDownSP = (Spinner) findViewById(R

In my application I have create a custom list view and I want to implement a filter so that the list can be filtered according to the text entered in the EditText. I am using a BaseAdapter as a separate class and I am calling that class in my Main Activity. I have also implemented the addTextChangedListener() in my main activity and I have also implemented the getFilter() in my BaseAdapter class. But I don't know how can I use getFilter() and can filter my list accordingly. In the list I am adding the values from a JSON URL. Please help me in letting me know that how can I use the getFilter()

I have a listview (with a custom list adapter), I need to display a countdown on every row. For example, if my list contains 4 items, I will have 4 rows. At this point, I need to handle 4 different countdowns (one for each row) because time is different. So far, I'm handling it the following way : in the Custom List Adapter, inside getView() method I create a new CountDownTimer and display remaining time inside TextView. But the problem is that it slows the activity a lot, I can't even scroll correctly in the worst cases (because each time a row is displayed, it creates a new CountDownTimer).
