Good Morning everyone,
I'm facing yet another problem in my path of learning Android. I made a dynamic TableLayout with the content of an CSV file. I need that when I click/touch a row in the table, the color should change, and later with a click of a button get the content of the same line. Now I'm stucked with the first part and of course I have no clue about how to get the data of the row.
I declared the table inside a LinearLayout that is also inside of a ScrollView in my layout with the following properties:
<ScrollView
android:id="@+id/scrollMotors"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:layout_marginRight="50dp"
android:layout_marginTop="90dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="50dp" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/layoutMotors"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TableLayout
android:id="@+id/tableMotors"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:stretchColumns="*" >
</TableLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
After in my java code, I declared the creation of the line:
//Initialization of my table
my_tableMotors = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.tableMotors);
//This is an ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> that contains the lines of the CSV file,
//I use this variable as a dynamic Matrix because my CSV file can change its dimensions.
m = valuesFile.size();
for (n = 0 ; n < m ; n++)
{
//Declaration and initialization of my rows
final TableRow line = new TableRow(MotorActivity.this);
//Setting the parameters of my row
line.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
line.setFocusable(true);
line.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
line.setClickable(true);
//Initialization of my TextViews that are gonna be the content of each one of the rows in the dynamic TableLayout
myCol1 = new TextView(MotorActivity.this);
myCol2 = new TextView(MotorActivity.this);
myCol3 = new TextView(MotorActivity.this);
myCol4 = new TextView(MotorActivity.this);
j = valuesFile.get(n).size();
for (i = 0 ; i < j ; i++)
{
switch(i)
{
case 0:
if (n == 0)
{
myCol1.setText("Line");
}
else
{
myCol1.setText(valuesFile.get(n).get(i)); //Sets value for the column
}
line.addView(myCol1);
break;
case 1:
myCol2.setText(valuesFile.get(n).get(i)); //Sets value for the column
line.addView(myCol2);
break;
case 2:
myCol3.setText(valuesFile.get(n).get(i)); //Sets value for the column
line.addView(myCol3);
break;
case 3:
myCol4.setText(valuesFile.get(n).get(i)); //I use this variable for some other purpose
break;
}
}
my_tableMotors.addView(line);
}
my_tableMotors.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {public void onClick(View v) {onClickedRow(); }});
}
From what I've seen and read here, the best is to use a setOnClickListener and that's what I did using a bit of two different answers that I found here:
public void onClickedRow()
{
m = my_tableMotors.getChildCount();
for (n = 0 ; n < m ; n++)
{
if (my_tableMotors.getChildAt(n).hasFocus())
{
my_tableMotors.setBackgroundColor(myColor);
}
}
}
Now I can't get any focus at the tableLayout at all, so please if you see something wrong in my code or if you know how to help me with this I would appreciate it a lot!!!!
Many thanks in advance :).
EDIT 1
I found the way to get the focus. I changed the method not to the whole TableLayout but only to the TableRow, so ended up as this:
*Before*
my_tableMotors = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.tableMotors);
m = valuesFile.size();
for (n = 0 ; n < m ; n++)
{
//Declaration and initialization of my rows
final TableRow line = new TableRow(MotorActivity.this);
/*Other declarations*/
j = valuesFile.get(n).size();
for (i = 0 ; i < j ; i++)
{
/*Code*/
}
my_tableMotors.addView(line);
}
my_tableMotors.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {public void onClick(View v) {onClickedRow(); }});
}
*After*
my_tableMotors = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.tableMotors);
m = valuesFile.size();
for (n = 0 ; n < m ; n++)
{
//Declaration and initialization of my rows
final TableRow line = new TableRow(MotorActivity.this);
/*Other declarations*/
j = valuesFile.get(n).size();
for (i = 0 ; i < j ; i++)
{
/*Code*/
}
line.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {public void onClick(View v) {onClickedRow(); }});
my_tableMotors.addView(line);
}
I also made the change on how to set the color of the line:
*Before*
my_tableMotors.setBackgroundColor(myColor);
*After*
my_tableMotors.getChildAt(n).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.myColor);
Now I'm busy finding out how to get the data from the TableRow. As soon as I get that solve or an answer from you I think I have my problem solved!!!
EDIT 2
With the help of @Luksprog I could find an answer to my problem of retrieving the content!!! I did used the next code using his solution:
public void onClickedRow()
{
TableRow clickedRow = new TableRow(MotorActivity.this);
m = my_tableMotors.getChildCount();
for (n = 1 ; n < m ; n++)
{
if (my_tableMotors.getChildAt(n).isFocused())
{
my_tableMotors.getChildAt(n).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.highlightTableRow);
clickedRow = (TableRow) my_tableMotors.getChildAt(n);
j = clickedRow.getChildCount();
for (i = 0; i < j ; i++)
{
switch(i)
{
case 0:
myField1 = (TextView) clickedRow.getChildAt(i);
break;
case 1:
myField2 = (TextView) clickedRow.getChildAt(i);
break;
case 2:
myField3 = (TextView) clickedRow.getChildAt(i);
break;
}
}
}
}
}
Don't set the OnClickListener on the TableLayout instead set it to each TableRow that you create in that for loop:
for (n = 0 ; n < m ; n++) {
//Declaration and initialization of my rows
final TableRow line = new TableRow(MotorActivity.this);
line.setOnClickListener(mListener);
line.setId(1000 + n);
// ...
where mListener is:
OnClickListener mListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// v is the TableRow that was clicked
v.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
// mClickedPosition is a int field representing the clicked row(to know the position later)
// if you allow more than one row to be clicked at one time, use a list of ints
// or something like this
mClickedPosition = v.getId() - 1000;
}
}
To later retrieve the content of the row you would use the mClickedPosition variable:
TableRow clickedRow = (TableRow) my_tableMotors.getChildAt(mClickedPosition);
// having the child TableRow that was clicked you could extract any data you want from it
// of course you could simply use the mClickedPosition to extract the data from whatever data structure you have(I'm looking at valuesFile)
