ListView in ArrayAdapter order get’s mixed up when scrolling

by

I was having similar issues, but when clicking an item in the custom list, the items on the screen would reverse in sequence. If I clicked again, they’d reverse back to where they were originally.

After reading this, I checked my code where I overload the getView method. I was getting the view from the convertedView, and if it was null, that’s when I’d build my stuff. However, after placing a breakpoint, I found that it was calling this method on every click and on subsequent clicks, the convertedView was not null therefore the items weren’t being set.

Here is an example of what it was:


public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
    View view = convertView;
    if (view == null)
    {
        LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        view = vi.inflate(R.layout.listitemrow, null);

        RssItem rssItem = (RssItem) super.getItem(position);
        if (rssItem != null)
        {
            TextView title = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.rowtitle);
            if (title != null)
            {
                title.setText(rssItem.getTitle());
            }
        }
    }
    return view;
}

The subtle change is moving the close brace for the null check on the view to just after inflating:


public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
    View view = convertView;
    if (view == null)
    {
        LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        view = vi.inflate(R.layout.listitemrow, null);
    }
    RssItem rssItem = (RssItem) super.getItem(position);
    if (rssItem != null)
    {
        TextView title = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.rowtitle);
        if (title != null)
        {
            title.setText(rssItem.getTitle());
        }
    }
    return view;
}

I hope this helps others who experience this same problem.
