Custom ListView with different row layouts to be inflated depending on webservice response

Question

I have ListView.

I have 3 sets of views:

1. Imageview
2. VideoView
3. Textview.

I have a webserver which returns images, videos and texts. So based on the response from the server i would like to inflate the views for the row's in listview.

I am aware of inflating a custom layout using a custom adapter.

I would like to know how to inflate views types using a custom adapter?.

For example :

If the webserver returns image, inflate imageview.

Answer 1

Associate each webservice response with ID 0-for Images, 1-for Texts and 2-for Videos. Store ID in a ArrayList. Then Override getItemViewType() and getViewTypeCount(). Inflate appropriate views in getView().

   @Override

    public int getItemViewType(int position) 

    {

    int type;

    if (ID.get(position)== 0){
        type = TYPE_ITEM1;  //type 0 for image
    } else if (ID.get(position) == 1){
        type = TYPE_ITEM2; //type 1 for text
    }else {
        type = TYPE_ITEM3; //type 2 for videos
    }
    return type;
    }
@Override
public int getViewTypeCount() {
    return 3;    //three different layouts to be inflated
}
