Yes, the example can be modified to do more or less what I wanted. Here is
what I changed:
inside getView in Main.java:
=======================================================================
}else{
row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_row_layout_odd, parent,
false);
TextView textLabel = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.text);
TextView textLabel2 = (TextView)
row.findViewById(R.id.text2);
textLabel.setText(data[position]);
textLabel2.setText(data[position]);
}
return (row);
}
==========================================================
Then at the bottom of row_layout_odd.xml inside the relative layout:
<TextView android:id="@+id/text2"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:textSize="16dip"
android:layout_marginRight="120dip"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dip"
android:layout_marginTop="30dip" />
==========================================================
I am still curious though on how this solution differs from the one
suggested
by Romain Guy. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
John Goche
