Is there a way to check which string was clicked within a simple ListView
? I want something different to happen for each item in this ListView
(when clicked) but I've not seen any relevant/helpful tutorials. I understand that a when
block would be necessary for this but unsure of the best way to implement it.
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
var array = arrayOf("Melbourne", "Vienna", "Vancouver", "Toronto", "Calgary", "Adelaide", "Perth", "Auckland", "Helsinki", "Hamburg", "Munich", "New York", "Sydney", "Paris", "Cape Town", "Barcelona", "London", "Bangkok")
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
val adapter = ArrayAdapter(this,
R.layout.listview_item, array)
val listView:ListView = findViewById(R.id.listview_1)
listView.setAdapter(adapter)
listView.onItemClickListener = object : OnItemClickListener {
override fun onItemClick(parent: AdapterView<*>, view: View,
position: Int, id: Long) {
????
}
}
}
}
listview_item.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/relativelayout_listitem"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="top"
android:baselineAligned="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<TextView android:id="@+id/listitem_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:layout_below="@id/ll_title"
android:fadingEdge="horizontal" />
</RelativeLayout>
Inside onItemClick()
, the position
parameter is the position in the data set that was tapped. So you ought to be able to index into your array to get the tapped string:
val tappedString = array[position] // will be "Vienna" when position is 1
If you want to verify that the clicked item has a certain value, you can similarly do this:
if (array[position] == "Vienna") {
// ...
}
