GetChildView gets not called


I have searched similar threads but they didn't help me and they were light different or they still are unanswered, so I'll describe my trouble.

I have an ExpandableListView with a custom ExpandableListAdapter and I can show my Groups but not my Children. GetChildView don't get called anyway.

I would thank you for your Help.

EDIT:


If I log this section

...
client = (ExpandableListView)row.findViewById(R.id.field_expandable_list);
client.setFocusable(false);                 
client_adapter = new ClientAdapter(context, titles, allFields);
client.setAdapter(client_adapter);

Log.i("TAG", "WmsMApActivity::doClient:: Adapter #children: "+client_adapter.getChildrenCount(0)+
                        " ExpListView #children: "+client.getChildCount()); 

...

, then I get that

I/TAG(692): WmsMApActivity::doClient::0 Adapter #children: 13 ExpListView #children: 0

So, my Adapter gets Data but the variable client (ExpandableListView) don't realize, it has data although I properly set it.


My code is the following

Main Code

// view = Item of my ListView. We come from a OnClickItem Method
private void doClient(View view) { 

    ArrayList<String> titles = new ArrayList<String>();
    titles.add("fields");

    ArrayList allFields = transformFarmsResult(parentItems);

    final Context context = getApplicationContext();

    RelativeLayout mainLayout = (RelativeLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.relLayoutDrawer);

    // We check whether the first item (0th position) is expanded

    View lin_layout_field_list = view.findViewById(R.id.lin_layout_field_list);

    if ( lin_layout_field_list != null ) { // Hide Field_list Layout

        ((ViewGroup) view).removeView(lin_layout_field_list);


    } else {

        mainLayout = (RelativeLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.relLayoutDrawer);

        // ----------- Inflating ExpandableListView "Fields"


        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

        client                  = (ExpandableListView)row.findViewById(R.id.field_expandable_list);

        // Adapter Population                           
        client_adapter = new ClientAdapter(context, titles, allFields);                 
        client.setAdapter(client_adapter);  

        RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);


        TextView title_tv = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.title);
        params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_LEFT, title_tv.getId() );
        params.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, title_tv.getId());                 

        mainLayout.addView(row, params);

        // Listview Group click listener
        client.setOnGroupClickListener(new OnGroupClickListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onGroupClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v, int groupPosition, long id) {
                Toast.makeText(context,  "Group Clicked " + groupPosition, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    return false;
                }
        });

        // Listview Group expanded listener
        client.setOnGroupExpandListener(new OnGroupExpandListener() {

                @Override
                public void onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) {
                Toast.makeText(context, "Group " + groupPosition + " Expanded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            });

        // Listview Group collasped listener
        client.setOnGroupCollapseListener(new OnGroupCollapseListener() {

            @Override
            public void onGroupCollapse(int groupPosition) {
                    Toast.makeText(context, "Group " + groupPosition + " Collapsed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();;

                }
            });

        // Listview on child click listener
        client.setOnChildClickListener(new OnChildClickListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v, int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id) {

                return false;
            }
        });                    

    }

     </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

EDIT(2): As said, it's no problem cause of Layouts or ClientAdapter, so that it works fine in this example

public class ClientActivity2 extends Activity{

private ExpandableListView client;
private ClientAdapter client_adapter;

private ArrayList children;
private ArrayList<String> groups;

private LayoutInflater inflater;
private LinearLayout lin_layout_probe;

private Context context;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.field_list);
    context = getApplicationContext();

    prepareData();        
    ExpandableListView client = (ExpandableListView)findViewById(R.id.field_expandable_list);
    client_adapter = new ClientAdapter(context, groups, children);
    client.setAdapter(client_adapter);
    client.expandGroup(0);


}

private void prepareData() {
    children = new ArrayList();

    HashMap<String,Object> hm1 = new HashMap<String,Object>();
    hm1.put(Constants._FIELDNAME,"Child1");
    children.add(hm1);

    HashMap<String,Object> hm2 = new HashMap<String,Object>();
    hm2.put(Constants._FIELDNAME,"Child2");     
    children.add(hm2);

    HashMap<String,Object> hm3 = new HashMap<String,Object>();
    hm3.put(Constants._FIELDNAME,"Child3");     
    children.add(hm3);


    groups = new ArrayList<String>();
    groups.add("Group1");

}

}

Now it comes what confuses me...

If I test all(Adapter and the same calls) with a simple Activity, which has a clickable TextView at its main layout then works fine!

If I click this TextView then the ExpandableListView prompts with properly populated Group and Children and they are expandable/collapsable.

If I test like my last post hier,(ExpandableListView embedded in a ListView Item) so, the ExpandableListView prompts, if I click that the ExpandableListView of that Item then the groups are populated but not the children. GetChildView gets never called!!!(I used LogCat, so I'm completely sure)

I have seen, many people had troubles with clicks in ExpandableListViews in ListViewItems, my case is different, I can perform that, my trouble is understanding, why with a TextView works fine that ExpandableListView Population via my custom BaseExpandableListAdapter but not in a ListView Item.


Solution

  • Solved

    In my first level Adapter (An adapter for the first level ExpandableListView) I modified the getChildView Method

    ...
    // Member Field
    private ExpandableListView expandable_field_list;
    ...
    
    @Override
    public View getChildView(int groupPosition, int childPosition,boolean isLastChild, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    
        if ( groupPosition == 1 ) {
            if ( expandable_field_list == null ) {
                expandable_field_list = new CustomExpandableListView(context);
    
                // Here I initialize the second and third Level
                client_adapter        = new ClientAdapter(context, groups, children);
                expandable_field_list.setAdapter(client_adapter);
    
            } else {
                client_adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            }
            convertView = expandable_field_list;
        }
    
    
        return convertView;
    }
    
    ...
    

    And CustomExpandableListView looks like this

    public class CustomExpandableListView extends ExpandableListView {
    
        private boolean expanded = true;
    
        public CustomExpandableListView(Context context) {
            super(context);
        }
    
    
        @Override
        public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
            if (isExpanded()) {
                // View.MEASURED_SIZE_MASK represents the largest height possible.
                int expandSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(MEASURED_SIZE_MASK,
                    MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
                super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, expandSpec);
    
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = getLayoutParams();
                params.height = getMeasuredHeight();
            } else {
                super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
            }
        }    
    
    
        @Override
        protected void onDetachedFromWindow() {
            try {
                super.onDetachedFromWindow();
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    
        public void setIsExpanded(boolean expanded) {
            this.expanded = expanded;
        }   
    
        public boolean isExpanded() {
            return expanded;
        }    
    }
    

    That is its aspect now as desired
