Im trying to implement an activity that uses ExpandableListView and I have gotten so far but now I have found some strange behavior.
My activity is meant to record food intake as specified by the user. they have a choice of menus (breakfast, lunch and dinner - the outer group) which expand to show their contents.
when a user clicks on an inner menu item a dialog appears asking them for the qty. once they enter a qty and dismiss the dialog the text on the menu item changes to reflect the quantity of that item that has been consumed
The above image shows the list in a closed state.
below is the list after I have opened the lunch menu and clicked on 'Potato Chips' and indicating a Quantity of 1. As you can see the 'Potato' itemtext has now been changed to reflect the Qty of 1.
The strange part happens now. if I click on 'Lunch' and close the list and then click on it again re-opening it, the 'Qty X 1' text has jumped to another item (Milk)
each time I open and close the list it jumps back and forth between the two items. Also if I open up other items, such as breakfast, I find that they too have now gotten items with 'Qty X 1' even though I havent clicked them.
The bits of code that are relevant are as such:
The XML for a child element:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:id="#+id/childname"
android:paddingLeft="50dip"
android:textSize="14dip"
android:textStyle="italic"
android:layout_width="200dip"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:layout_height="40dip"/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/qty_display"
android:text="-"
android:textSize="14dip"
android:textStyle="italic"
android:layout_width="50dip"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
The code thats triggered on clicking a child element:
public boolean onChildClick(
ExpandableListView parent,
View v,
int groupPosition,
int childPosition,
long id) {
// open the dialog and inflate the buttons
myDialog = new Dialog(this);
myDialog.setTitle("Food Item Qty");
myDialog.setContentView(R.layout.food_intake_dialog);
final Button ok = (Button)myDialog.findViewById(R.id.fi_ok_but);
Button cancel = (Button)myDialog.findViewById(R.id.fi_cancel_but);
//the id for this item is stored as a hash key in a map (say, item_id01)
String key = "item_id"+groupPosition+""+childPosition;
current_selected_food_item_id = Integer.parseInt(itemMap.get(key));
// inflate the textview that shows the qty for this item on the expandablelist
barQty = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.qty_display);
// set the ok button to record teh quantity on press
ok.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View viewParam) {
//inflate the input box that receives quantity from user
EditText fiQty = (EditText) myDialog.findViewById(R.id.fiQty);
// get the quantity and append the text on hte list item
String qty = fiQty.getText().toString();
barQty.setText("Qty X "+qty);
//open the database and save state
FoodIntake.this.application.getFoodIntakeHelper().open();
FoodIntake.this.application.getFoodIntakeHelper().storeFoodIntakeLog(current_selected_food_item_id,qty,visit_id,remote_visit_id);
String log = FoodIntake.this.application.getFoodIntakeHelper().getFoodIntakeLog(visit_id);
FoodIntake.this.application.getFoodIntakeHelper().close();
// append the main food intake list and close the dialog
list.setText("Food Intake Log:\n\n"+log);
myDialog.cancel();
}
});
The above code opens a dialog, accepts a value for quantity, appends the list element to reflect this, also saves to database and sets a textview with the selected item and quantity.
Sorry to just dump a whole load of code, but this has me stumped and hopefully someone can help.
Thanks

Android reuses dialogs. So the behavior you are seeing could be a result of that. You could use a activity managed dialog and use onPrepareDialog() to update dialog contents.
I don't think the problem is with the dialogs. I had the same problem in my project and couldn't fix it. I think the ExpandableListView has a bug when opening children. I had only one child per group and when I expand a group, the child moves to another group. After testing, I found out that when I expand the children are reloaded.

I need to add 5 Input fields (EditText) dynamically one by one on button click and want to take values from them and store them into database using Room Persistence with MVVM.
Here I'm adding the view dynamically
private void addEditTextView() {
View inputView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.row_edit_text, null, false);
EditText val1 = inputView.findViewById(R.id.input_value_1);
binding.layoutList.addView(inputView);
}
Any suggestion would be very helpful.
Thank you in advance.
Add view based on child count
private void addEditTextView() {
if (binding.layoutList.getChildCount() <= 5) {
View inputView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.row_edit_text, null, false);
EditText val1 = inputView.findViewById(R.id.input_value_1);
binding.layoutList.addView(inputView);
}
}
"When I clicked Add button it is adding input field one by one, this code is working but I just want to limit for 5 fields not more not less and take values from them."
If you want to add exactly 5 fields on button click I recommend designing a fragment with the 5 fields in place, then when the button is clicked, inflate the fragment into your parent view. Then code the fragment appropriately with the data you're working with.
Then if you wanted, you could deflate the fragment on button click to clear the view or add some other way to clear the fragment when you want. Much easier than what you're doing currently in my own opinion.
You might as well include a submit button in your fragment assuming this is some kind of form.
You can simply define an integer and increase it every time you add the EditText but you should check if your integer is less than 5 everytime the method is called.
Example
private void addEditTextView() {
int count = 0;
if (count < 5){
View inputView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.row_edit_text, null, false);
EditText val1 = inputView.findViewById(R.id.input_value_1);
binding.layoutList.addView(inputView);
count++;
}
}
I have simple problem with my fragment.. So i have a spinner and array string contain tow values.. On other hand and i have values on my firebase, I want set text from firebase not set. when i do that the problem arises.. the spinner run without click on it and the array disappeared.
Note: i do that in activity and the problem does not occur and working 100%, i have this problem just in fragment.
// Array
String[] priv_secu_sec_values = new String[] {"All", "Friends"};
// Create adapter
final ArrayAdapter<String> myAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>
(getActivity(),
android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line,priv_secu_sec_values);
// Create Spinner
final MaterialBetterSpinner edit_priv_secu = (MaterialBetterSpinner)
v.findViewById(R.id.edit_sec_send);
edit_priv_secu.setAdapter(myAdapter);
// Get Value from firebase and set text
String priv_secu_send =
dataSnapshot.child("rece_sec").getValue().toString();
edit_priv_secu.setText(priv_secu_send);
// Spinner XML Code:
<com.weiwangcn.betterspinner.library.material.MaterialBetterSpinner
android:id="#+id/edit_sec_send"
android:layout_width="115dp"
android:layout_height="63dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
android:padding="5dp"
android:hint="#string/Who"
android:textSize="14sp"
app:met_floatingLabel="normal" />

I'm programatically creating a series of radio buttons in a radiogroup:
for (Soldier soldier:clickedSquad.getMembers()) {
Integer I=0;
soldier.setId(I);
RadioButton radiobutton=new RadioButton(getContext());
radiobutton.setText(soldier.toString());
radiobutton.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
radiobutton.setId(soldier.getId());
I++;
soldierRgrp.addView(radiobutton);
}
It creates the radiobuttons as I intend, but when I click several they all stay clicked like a checkbox, and I need only one to be clicked at a time like radiobuttons usually do.
Any idea why this is happening?
The radiogroup is in the XML and looks as follows:
<RadioGroup
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:id="#+id/reg_rgrp_soldiers"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</RadioGroup>
RadioButtons behave that way only if they same id. In your case they do! You are initialising your variable I=0 each time. Hence, each soldier is given the same id. Soldiers don't particularly like that! Change you code to:
int i=0;
for (Soldier soldier:clickedSquad.getMembers()) {
soldier.setId(i++);
RadioButton radiobutton=new RadioButton(getContext());
radiobutton.setText(soldier.toString());
radiobutton.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
radiobutton.setId(soldier.getId());
soldierRgrp.addView(radiobutton);
}
I want to get EditText selection start when user click in EditText (touch).
I do with this code :
int startIndex = txtMean.getSelectionStart();
this always return 0;
and EditText xml code:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/txtMean"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#null"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:hint=""
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:scrollbars="none" />
my code work in android 2.* but don't work in 4.*
txtMean.getSelectionStart();
getSelectionStart doesn't relate to the user's last touch or click per se. It relates to the text selection on the screen. By default, when the user does a long click text-handles will come up, and allow the user to expand a highlighted text selection. It's the highlighted text that refers to the selection, which is not necessarily where the user last touched.
When the user makes a text selection it becomes highlighted because the EditText will apply a SelectionSpan to the character sequence, and getSelectionStart will return the start value of this span.
Update, Solution Help:
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
// this = EditText;
// will give you the position of the nearest chracter.
int offset = this.getOffsetForPosition(event.getX(), event.getY());
I'm attempting to create a few radio buttons and add them a RadioGroup dynamically. When I use the LayoutInflater method of pulling in the xml and adding it to the current view, everything works fine. The correct radio buttons show up.
However when I try to cast the View that LayoutInflater.inflate returned to a RadioButton (so I can setText), I get a force close with a java.lang.ClassCastException.
for (int i = 0; i < options.length(); i++) {
JSONObject option = options.getJSONObject(i);
View option_view = vi.inflate(R.layout.poll_option, radio_group, true);
option_view.setId(i);
RadioButton rb = (RadioButton) option_view.findViewById(i);
rb.setText(option.getString("response"));
}
poll_option.xml:
<RadioButton xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:text="RadioButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
The problem is you're not getting the views you think you're getting. LayoutInflater.inflate() called with a supplied root view means the view returned to you is THAT root view (not the inflated view). The method in which you are calling it inflates a new RadioButton and attaches it to the Group, but the return value (option_view) is the group itself, not the individual item. Since you need to play with the view before attaching it to the group, I'd recommend code like this (which works):
//I added these for posterity, I'm sure however you get these references is fine
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
RadioGroup radio_group = new RadioGroup(this);
//Get the button, rename it, then add it to the group.
for(int i = 0; i < options.length(); i++) {
JSONObject option = options.getJSONObject(i);
RadioButton option_view = (RadioButton)vi.inflate(R.layout.poll_option, null);
option_view.setText(option.getString("response"));
radio_group.addView(button);
}
Editorial Note:
Just my $0.02, for such a simple layout, running this inflation process over and over in a loop may be a bit too much (inflation is expensive). You could easily create the same RadioButton in code, and add it with your LayoutParams, like:
LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
for (int i = 0; i < options.length(); i++) {
RadioButton option_view = new RadioButton(this);
option_view.setText(option.getString("response"));
radio_group.addView(option_view, params);
}
This code I didn't test, but it should be pretty close :p
Hope that Helps!
You probably want to use findViewById and locate the radio button in the inflated view. Something like:
RadioButton rb = (RadioButton)option_view.findViewById(R.id.yourButtonId);
See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#findViewById(int)
you want to radiobutton.setId(INT)
and then later get it by findViewById() to get the button.
The setID(Int) should be used when you dynamically create the button. You can now access it later with findViewById.
