I have a list that should display 7 items that each look like this:
Date Weekday Distance Time
Long text that may span many lines
two column text Distance Time
two column text Distance Time
two column text Distance Time
The last lines repeat in a number depending on the data, i e there may be different amounts of such lines for each list item.
I have tried implementing this with a ListCellRenderer that creates a table according to the requirements above, but I have a few problems with it:
So it seems that items in a list must be of the same size.
Later I also want to be able to detect selection on the entire list item, not just individual fields of it.
Is there a better way to do this?
How do I ensure that the SpanLabel actually gets as much space as it needs?
How do I ensure that the unknown number of lines gets the space they need, depending on how many they are?
Don't use a list: https://www.codenameone.com/blog/deeper-in-the-renderer.html
Lists in Codename One assume every entry is exactly the same height and provide no flexibility here.
I suggest doing something like the property cross demo: https://www.udemy.com/learn-mobile-programming-by-example-with-codename-one/
Where we use a Container with components within to provide a list like behavior with the full flexibility that arbitrary components allow.
