Hello,
I am trying to get the value of a selected item in a listview. The
listview consists of the names of all the countries. The problem that
I encouter when running the app is that when the listview is showed, a
country can be selected by typing in it's first letters. But the
problem is that the position given by the callback listener
onListItemClick() is the position of the new filtered list. This way
the index for the array doesn't mach the list item position.
An list example:
Australia
Belgium
Botswana
Belize
Where Belgium has index and position 2 -> OK
after pressing BE on the keyboard the list is as follows:
Belgium
So the position is 1 and doesn't match the String array index any more
and it results in Australia being selected.
My question is how I can obtain the correct country and still use the
android letter filter option because the list is otherwise quite
long.
My current code:
package com.android.pokerwinnings;
import java.util.Currency;
import java.util.Locale;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class SelectCurrency extends ListActivity {
String[] countries;
Locale[] ll;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ll = Locale.getAvailableLocales();
countries = new String[ll.length];
int i=0;
for (Locale loc : ll) {
countries[i] = loc.getDisplayCountry();
i++;
}
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, countries));
getListView().setTextFilterEnabled(true);
}
@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position,
long id) {
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
Context context = getApplicationContext();
Toast.makeText(context,
"Country selected: " + countries[position],
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Intent intent = new Intent(SelectCurrency.this,
PokerWinnings.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
