Change text of a listview, that is filled by an ArrayAdapter

Question

Is there any way to change the text in a listview, which is filled by an ArrayAdapter?

My array:

public String[] trainingstage = {"Hello", "Hello 2"};

The ArrayAdapter

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(this,

android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, trainingstage);

setListAdapter(adapter);

ListView listView = getListView();

listView.setOnItemClickListener(this);

OnItem:

public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
            long id) {
        switch (position) {
        //untrained
        case 0: 
         //here the text in the listview should change from "Hello" to "BYE"

        case 1:
        //here the text in the listview should change from "Hello 2" to "BYE 2" 
  }

Thanks for help!

Answer 1

You can achieve what you want like this:

public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
          long id) {

      TextView tv = (TextView)view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);

      switch (position) {
      //untrained
      case 0: 
       //here the text in the listview should change from "Hello" to "BYE"
          tv.setText("BYE");
          break;

      case 1:
      //here the text in the listview should change from "Hello 2" to "BYE 2" 
          tv.setText("BYE 2");
          break;
      }
  }

What is android.R.id.text1

• ArrayAdapters constructor uses android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 xml layout as its second parameter and this layout has one child - TextView with ID android.R.id.text1.
