Anyone have any thoughts on this?
You asked for "heterogeneous rows". Your solution does not seem to involve heterogeneous rows, unless I am missing something. What Romain suggested was: -- Override getViewTypeCount() to return the number of distinct types of rows (e.g., 2) -- Override getItemViewType() to return a value from 0 to getViewTypeCount()-1, indicating which type of row to use for a given position -- In your getView() (or newView(), if you are extending CursorAdapter), inflate the appropriate row layout for the position's type, or recycle the supplied convertView -- by overriding the two methods in the previous bullets, you ensure that convertView will be of the desired layout -- In your getView() (or bindView(), if you are extending CursorAdapter), bind your model data into the right widgets based on the row type See also: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5300962/getviewtypecount-and-getitemviewtype-methods-of-arrayadapter http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1660417/android-efficientadapter-with-two-different-views http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3144555/different-views-on-a-single-list-android and probably another 50 or so answers on StackOverflow, where getViewTypeCount() and getItemViewType() appear. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.6 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
