I created the following CursorAdapter which shows messages from my SQL database, everything is added well until I scroll the list, I know that the objects are recycled, but in a wrong way. Here is my CursorAdapter class:
public class ChatAdapter extends CursorAdapter {
public ChatAdapter(Context context, Cursor cursor, int flags) {
super(context, cursor, 0);
}
@Override
public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) {
return LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.chat_item, parent,
false);
}
@Override
public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor) {
// Find fields to populate in inflated template
TextView left = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.lefttext);
TextView right = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.righttext);
LinearLayout rightBubble = (LinearLayout) view
.findViewById(R.id.right_bubble);
LinearLayout leftBubble = (LinearLayout) view
.findViewById(R.id.left_bubble);
TextView leftDate = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.leftdate);
TextView rightDate = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.rightdate);
// Extract properties from cursor
String from = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("from"));
String txt = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("message"));
String date = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("t"));
String id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("id"));
// Parse time
long datevalue = Long.valueOf(date) * 1000;
Date dateformat = new java.util.Date(datevalue);
String convert = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm").format(dateformat);
// Populate fields with extracted properties
if (from.equals("me")) {
right.setText(txt);
left.setText("");
rightBubble
.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.balloon_outgoing_normal);
leftBubble.setBackgroundDrawable(null);
rightDate.setText(convert);
leftDate.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
else {
left.setText(txt);
right.setText("");
leftBubble
.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.balloon_incoming_normal);
rightBubble.setBackgroundDrawable(null);
leftDate.setText(convert);
rightDate.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
}
Unfortenately, after scrolling the list, dates from the rightDate and leftDate dissapears after moving back. I think it't due the .setVisibility(View.GONE)
Any suggestions to fix this?
when the view is recycled, it is in the previous state, android did not clear the status for you.
To fix your problem, you have to set the view in question to VISIBLE when needed
Edit:
like this, add the 2 lines
if (from.equals("me")) {
// your original code
rightDate.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); //add this
}
else {
// your original code
leftDate.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); //add this
}
