SimpleAdapter

open class SimpleAdapter : BaseAdapter, Filterable, ThemedSpinnerAdapter
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.widget.BaseAdapter
   ↳ android.widget.SimpleAdapter

An easy adapter to map static data to views defined in an XML file. You can specify the data backing the list as an ArrayList of Maps. Each entry in the ArrayList corresponds to one row in the list. The Maps contain the data for each row. You also specify an XML file that defines the views used to display the row, and a mapping from keys in the Map to specific views. Binding data to views occurs in two phases. First, if a android.widget.SimpleAdapter.ViewBinder is available, ViewBinder#setViewValue(android.view.View, Object, String) is invoked. If the returned value is true, binding has occurred. If the returned value is false, the following views are then tried in order:

If no appropriate binding can be found, an IllegalStateException is thrown.

Public constructors

SimpleAdapter

Added in API level 1
SimpleAdapter(
    context: Context!,
    data: MutableList<out MutableMap<String!, *>!>!,
    resource: Int,
    from: Array<String!>!,
    to: IntArray!)

Constructor

Parameters
context Context!: The context where the View associated with this SimpleAdapter is running
data MutableList<out MutableMap<String!, *>!>!: A List of Maps. Each entry in the List corresponds to one row in the list. The Maps contain the data for each row, and should include all the entries specified in "from"
resource Int: Resource identifier of a view layout that defines the views for this list item. The layout file should include at least those named views defined in "to"
from Array<String!>!: A list of column names that will be added to the Map associated with each item.
to IntArray!: The views that should display column in the "from" parameter. These should all be TextViews. The first N views in this list are given the values of the first N columns in the from parameter.

Public methods

getCount

Added in API level 1
open fun getCount(): Int
Return
Int Count of items.

getDropDownView

Added in API level 1
open fun getDropDownView(
    position: Int,
    convertView: View!,
    parent: ViewGroup!
): View!
Parameters
position Int: index of the item whose view we want.
convertView View!: the old view to reuse, if possible. Note: You should check that this view is non-null and of an appropriate type before using. If it is not possible to convert this view to display the correct data, this method can create a new view.
parent ViewGroup!: the parent that this view will eventually be attached to
Return
View! a android.view.View corresponding to the data at the specified position.

getDropDownViewTheme

Added in API level 23
open fun getDropDownViewTheme(): Resources.Theme?
Return
Resources.Theme? the Resources.Theme against which drop-down views are inflated, or null if one has not been explicitly set

getFilter

Added in API level 1
open fun getFilter(): Filter!
Return
Filter! a filter used to constrain data

getItem

Added in API level 1
open fun getItem(position: Int): Any!
Parameters
position Int: Position of the item whose data we want within the adapter's data set.
Return
Any! The data at the specified position.

getItemId

Added in API level 1
open fun getItemId(position: Int): Long
Parameters
position Int: The position of the item within the adapter's data set whose row id we want.
Return
Long The id of the item at the specified position.

getView

Added in API level 1
open fun getView(
    position: Int,
    convertView: View!,
    parent: ViewGroup!
): View!
Parameters
position Int: The position of the item within the adapter's data set of the item whose view we want.
convertView View!: The old view to reuse, if possible. Note: You should check that this view is non-null and of an appropriate type before using. If it is not possible to convert this view to display the correct data, this method can create a new view. Heterogeneous lists can specify their number of view types, so that this View is always of the right type (see getViewTypeCount() and getItemViewType(int)).
parent ViewGroup!: The parent that this view will eventually be attached to
Return
View! A View corresponding to the data at the specified position.

getViewBinder

Added in API level 1
open fun getViewBinder(): SimpleAdapter.ViewBinder!

Returns the ViewBinder used to bind data to views.

Return
SimpleAdapter.ViewBinder! a ViewBinder or null if the binder does not exist

setDropDownViewResource

Added in API level 1
open fun setDropDownViewResource(resource: Int): Unit

Sets the layout resource to create the drop down views.

Parameters
resource Int: the layout resource defining the drop down views

setDropDownViewTheme

Added in API level 23
open fun setDropDownViewTheme(theme: Resources.Theme?): Unit

Sets the android.content.res.Resources.Theme against which drop-down views are inflated.

By default, drop-down views are inflated against the theme of the Context passed to the adapter's constructor.

Parameters
theme Resources.Theme?: the theme against which to inflate drop-down views or null to use the theme from the adapter's context

setViewBinder

Added in API level 1
open fun setViewBinder(viewBinder: SimpleAdapter.ViewBinder!): Unit

Sets the binder used to bind data to views.

Parameters

setViewImage

Added in API level 1
open fun setViewImage(
    v: ImageView!,
    value: Int
): Unit

Called by bindView() to set the image for an ImageView but only if there is no existing ViewBinder or if the existing ViewBinder cannot handle binding to an ImageView. This method is called instead of setViewImage(android.widget.ImageView,java.lang.String) if the supplied data is an int or Integer.

Parameters
v ImageView!: ImageView to receive an image
value Int: the value retrieved from the data set

    v: ImageView!,
    value: String!
): Unit

Called by bindView() to set the image for an ImageView but only if there is no existing ViewBinder or if the existing ViewBinder cannot handle binding to an ImageView. By default, the value will be treated as an image resource. If the value cannot be used as an image resource, the value is used as an image Uri.
