Custom View Calendar (TableLayout) is extremely slow

I have created a Calendar Custom View from scratch. The reason I don't use the CalendarView is that I want to customize it myself. I need a few functions that the CalendarView doesn't have. So I built a CustomView:
calendar.xml:

This Calendar Custom View works. Every Item is where it should be. But the thing is that it takes extremely long to build, up to a second or two. Everytime I open the fragment with the calendar, the app freezes for one or two seconds. I can't explain why this is.
I can edit the implementation or some other code if you want. But I think that is everything what's important.

You can improve your custom CalendarView by using RecyclerView instead of TableView. And using RecyclerView will give you more ability to customize date cells (select/deselect, select range, etc.) , support scrolling, swipe, etc.
Or you can use this library, which provide highly customizable CalendarView

Okay, I will answer the question myself, because I managed to solve the issue. It is so slow, because is is rendering more then 30 CalenderItems everytime, which contain of a LinearLayout and two TextViews. I changed this to just one TextView with an "\n" to make it look like two TextViews. So I could also remove the Layout and just extend TextView Class. So now, it has to render more than 30 TextViews and Layouts less then before, which makes it way faster.

Speeding up big set of programmatically created buttons display

I have an activity which generates a scrollable list (let's say a column) of programmatically created buttons from a List which is the result of an sqlite table read and my problem is that as the List is growing (and so the number of buttons) the initial painting of the screen is becoming slow (at the moment is taking 3 seconds with 50 buttons to draw) so I'm looking for a solution to this.
At first I thought of using a thread (runnable, handler or whatever is best), let's say creating a new thread inside the For which iterates over the list but it's not working (or at least I'm not being able to make it to work) so my question is the next:
Starting from a List<> which is the most appropiate way to create a big set of scrollable buttons so users doesn't have such delay when accesing the screen.
Paginating could be an option, but I'd like to know about other possibilities first and leave that as a last resource.
Thanks, and below is my code.
public static void createButtons(LinearLayout llContainer,
List<TestType> TestTypes, List<Test> Tests,
int buttonFontSize) {
Context oContext = llContainer.getContext();
String strTheme = TMAppearance.getThemeFromPreferences(oContext);
testMe = ((ApplicationConfiguration)oContext.getApplicationContext());
int callerActivity = TestTypes!=null ? 2 : 1;
if (TestTypes!=null || Tests!=null) {
int lCols = strTheme.equals(testMe.theme_vivid) ? 1 : 2;
//int sourceElementIndex = 0;
int originListSize = calculateOriginalListSize(callerActivity, TestTypes, Tests);
int lRows = (int) Math.ceil((double)originListSize/lCols);
List<String> aStartColors = TMUtils_ThemeVivid.generateStartColorArray(lRows, oContext);
List<String> aEndColors = TMUtils_ThemeVivid.generateEndColorArray(lRows, oContext);
for (i = 0; i < lRows; i++) {
LinearLayout outerButtonLayout = generateOuterButtonLayout(oContext);
for (j = 0; j < lCols; j++) {
final Thread r = new Thread() {
public void run() {
LinearLayout innerButtonLayout = generateInnerButtonLayout(oContext);
outerButtonLayout.addView(innerButtonLayout, j);
if (sourceElementIndex<originListSize){
final TMButton oButton = new TMButton(oContext);
if (callerActivity==1) { //testMenu
setTestMenuButtonSettings(oButton, sourceElementIndex, Tests);
} else {
if (callerActivity==2) { //testTypeMenu
setTestTypeMenuButtonSettings(oButton, sourceElementIndex, TestTypes);
}
}
if (strTheme.equals(testMe.theme_vivid)){
oButton.fontSize = buttonFontSize;
oButton.gradientStartColor = aStartColors.get(i);
oButton.gradientEndColor = aEndColors.get(i);
}else{
if (strTheme.equals(testMe.theme_purple)){
oButton.gradientStartColor = testMe.btnStartColor_purple;
oButton.gradientEndColor = testMe.btnEndColor_purple;
}
}
configureButton(oButton, callerActivity);
oButton.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
Context oContext = v.getContext();
TMButton oButton = (TMButton) v;
int callerActivity = Integer.valueOf(v.getTag().toString().split("#")[0]);
String sourceId = String.valueOf(v.getTag().toString().split("#")[1]);
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) { //pressed
setButtonPressed(oButton);
TMSound.playButtonSound(oContext);
} else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) { //released
setButtonReleased(oButton);
startTargetActivity(callerActivity, sourceId, oContext);
}
return true;
}
});
TMAppearance.doButtonAnimation(oContext, oButton, i);
innerButtonLayout.addView(oButton);

}
}
};
r.run();
}

}
}
}

0X0nosugar is correct. A RecycleView will provide better performance, but many beginners have more difficulty implementing it and with only 50 buttons performance shouldn't really be an issue. And although I generally like to abide by the rule 'Use the best available solution' I think it is still appropriate to learn how to implement the ListView. So...
You will need to create a custom adapter:
public class MyListDataAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<MyListData> {
private static final String TAG = "MyListDataAdapter";
public MyListDataAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<MyListData> data) {
super(context, 0, data);
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){
final MyListData data = getItem(position);
if(convertView == null){
convertView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.edit_list_item, parent, false);
}
// Add a TextView if you need one
final TextView tvName = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.tvName);
Button btnEditTicketHolder = (Button) convertView.findViewById(R.id.btnEdit);
btnEditTicketHolder.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
long userId = data.getUserId();
String fName = data.getFirstName();
Intent intent = new Intent(getContext(), EditActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("userId", userId);
intent.putExtra("fName", fName);
getContext().startActivity(intent);
}
});
String name = data.getFirstName();
tvName.setText(name);
return convertView;
}
}
Now you need your MyListData class to hold the data:
public class MyListData {
// Add more as you need
private long userId;
private String firstName;
public MyListData(){
}
public void setFirstName(String name){ this.firstName = name; }
public void setUserId(long id){ this.userId = id; }
public String getFirstName(){ return this.firstName; }
public long getUserId(){ return this.userId; }
}
Your custom ListView layout could look something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvName"
android:text="With Whom"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnEdit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:text="Edit"
android:backgroundTint="#color/colorAccent"
android:focusable="false"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
In your Activity (eg. in the onCreate() method) where the ListView you will need to populate the data for the ListView. This should not be done on the UI Thread
ArrayList<MyListData> arrayListData = new ArrayList<MyListData>();
MyListDataAdapter adapter = new MyListDataAdapter(this, arrayListData);
for (MyListData g : result) {
adapter.add(g);
}
mLstMy.setAdapter(adapter);
Also in the activity where the ListView is to be maintained set up some onClick event handlers if you need them:
(I find that one of the small advantages of the ListView is that the onClick event is easier it implement than in the RecycleView)
mMyLst = (ListView) findViewById(lstMy);
mMyLst.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long l) {
MyListData data = (MyListData) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
selectedName = data.getName();
Intent intent = new Intent(ShowListDataActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
mMyLst.setOnItemLongClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
MyListData data = (MyistData) adapterView.getItemAtPosition(i);
selectedName = data.getFirstName();
selectedTicketPosition = i;
// removeValue is my own method for removing an entry from the
// list MyListData and then call adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
removeValue(i);
return true;
}
});

How get to all value of EditText in Custom ListView

I created same before like this
You can use the HashMap map = new HashMap<>(); for what item user click. I assume that you use two button click are available in adapter class if not then add it.
Step 1 First Declare the HashMap map = new HashMap<>(); in adapter.
Step 2 Then put value in HashMap map.put("key","value"); This code put in both plus and minus button click event.
Step 3 Call ShowHashMapValue(); method below to the map.put("key","value"); for see the HashMap values check logcat for that.
Compare this adapter code for understand easily if any problem just comment below.

So so here is logic. You need to declare a boolean in PSP. by default set it to false.
Now when + button will be triggered you need to set that boolean check to true
then in your set price create this logic.
public String getPrice() {
if(check==true){
price++;
}
else{
price--;
}
return price;
}
If i correctly understand you then this surely will help you. Good Luck!

Android Custom BaseAdapter getView not called

So, I have scoured the interwebs and I cannot find a solution for this based on other people's experiences, so I am posting this issue. (Please note that this is my 1st android app experience and I am debugging / updating an existing app.)
When I implement my custom NotesListAdapter (extends BaseAdapter) on the ListView, mListNotesView (mListNotesView.setAdapter(this)), and load the data into the ArrayList mNoteList, the getView function is not being called. Also, I found that mListNotesView.setBackgroundResource is not chaning the background of the control, either. I have a similar implementation on a previous activity that works exactly correct. When I copied over the class and changed it to handle my ArrayList, it broke. I have getCount returning the ArrayList size(), which is not 0, and getItemId returns position. I have a feeling it may be my XML or my setup because it's acting like the ListView is not visible. I am perplexed. How do I get the ListView to show? Anything inside of the getView has not been reached so it may be buggy.

I'm going to recommend you reorganize your code. Here are some general tips:
1) Keep your views like ListView in the Activity class. Don't try to inflate the view in your adapter class. So in your activity's onCreate() after setContentView() you should have something like:
ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
2) Next you need to get the data that will be shown in the listview and store it in a list. I didn't see in your code where the data comes from, but let's just say it comes from a database. You should create something like an ArrayList and store the data that you want to show in the ListView in the ArrayList
3) Next you need to create an adapter and pass the list of data into the adapter.
4) Once this has been done the ListView now has an adapter that will supply data to it. If you've done everything correctly then the system will eventually call getView() automatically and your code inside that should run and render the view.
Not an exact solution, but hopefully this explanation will help you figure it out.

Why does adding buttons to grid view causes text-view to change?

My android activity workout view displays a grid view. Each object of grid view either displays the name of an exercise and two buttons or it displays a exercise set and two buttons.This is what it looks like when I don't add buttons to each set.
Once I enable buttons to each set by commenting out deleteBtn.setVisibility(View.GONE); the activity displays this. changing the 3rd to last object to display an exercise instead of a set. (Scrolled down)
getLocation(int i) determines if an grid object is going to be an Exercise or set. location[0] determines the exercise and location1 if == 0 refers to exercise and location1 > 0 refers to an exercise set.
private int[] getLocation(int i) {
db = new DatabaseHelper(context);
int temp[] = {-1, -1};
int count = -1;
for (int we = 0; we < WE_TABLE.size(); we++) {
for (int s = 0; s < db.getSetCountByWEID(WE_TABLE.get(we).getID()) + 1; s++) {
count++;
if (count == i) {
//Log.e("Test","WE: " + we+ " S: " + s + " For: " + i);
temp[0] = we;
temp[1] = s;
db.closeDB();
return temp;
}
}
}
db.closeDB();
return temp;
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
int temp_p = position;
TextView tv;
View view = convertView;
if (view == null) {
totalObj++;
Obj = totalObj;
int[] location = getLocation(Obj - 1);
db = new DatabaseHelper(context);
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_workout_view_gridview, null);
tv = new TextView(context);
tv.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(GridView.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, GridView.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
Button deleteBtn = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.delete_btn);
Button addBtn = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.add_btn);
tv = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.list_item_string);
String Exercises = (Obj + " " + location[0] + "," + location[1]);
Log.e("Test", "Location: " + location[0] + " , " + location[1] + " Number " + Obj);
if (location[1] == -1) {
} else if (location[1] == 0) {
WorkoutExercise WE = WE_TABLE.get(location[0]);
Exercises = WE.getExerciseName();
// addBtn.setVisibility(View.GONE);
//deleteBtn.setVisibility(View.GONE);
} else {
S_TABLE = db.getSets(WE_TABLE.get(location[0]).getID() + "");
Exercises = S_TABLE.get(location[1] - 1).getWeight() + "lbs " + S_TABLE.get(location[1] - 1).getReps() + " Reps";
