I am trying to implement AlphabetIndexer
with Custom Adapter like this
AlphabetIndexer with Custom Adapter
My class ContactsCursorAdapter extends SimpleCursorAdapter
and implements SectionIndexer
and I am using a LoaderManager
to manage my adapter's cursor so i have overridden the swapCursor()
method like the second answer to the example above indicates.
public class ContactsCursorAdapter extends SimpleCursorAdapter
implements SectionIndexer{
private LayoutInflater mInflater;
private Context mContext;
private AlphabetIndexer mAlphaIndexer;
public ContactsCursorAdapter(Context context, int layout, Cursor c,
String[] from, int[] to) {
super(context, layout, c, from, to);
mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
mContext = context;
}
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
...
}
@Override
public int getPositionForSection(int section) {
return mAlphaIndexer.getPositionForSection(section);
}
@Override
public int getSectionForPosition(int position) {
return mAlphaIndexer.getSectionForPosition(position);
}
@Override
public Object[] getSections() {
return mAlphaIndexer.getSections();
}
public Cursor swapCursor(Cursor c) {
// Create our indexer
if (c != null) {
mAlphaIndexer = new AlphabetIndexer(c, c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME),
" ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ");
}
return super.swapCursor(c);
}
}
However, this errors out if I set my listview to fastScrollEnabled = true
getListView().setFastScrollEnabled(true);
in my class ContactsCursorLoaderListFragment which extends ListFragment
and implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks .
Here is the stack trace:

after the setFastScrollEnabled()
method gets called it calls the custom adapter's getSections()
method which is where it crashes.
public class LoaderCursor extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
// Create the list fragment and add it as our sole content.
if (fm.findFragmentById(android.R.id.content) == null) {
ContactsCursorLoaderListFragment list = new ContactsCursorLoaderListFragment();
fm.beginTransaction().add(android.R.id.content, list).commit();
}
}
public static class ContactsCursorLoaderListFragment extends ListFragment
implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> {
ContactsCursorAdapter mAdapter;
Cursor mCursor;
String mCurFilter;
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
populateContactList();
// Prepare the loader. Either re-connect with an existing one,
// or start a new one.
getLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this);
ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setFastScrollEnabled(true);
//lv.setScrollingCacheEnabled(true);
lv.setDivider(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.list_divider));
}
// These are the Contacts rows that we will retrieve.
final String[] CONTACTS_SUMMARY_PROJECTION = new String[] {
ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_ID, };
public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int id, Bundle args) {
// This is called when a new Loader needs to be created. This
// sample only has one Loader, so we don't care about the ID.
// First, pick the base URI to use depending on whether we are
// currently filtering.
Uri baseUri;
if (mCurFilter != null) {
baseUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,Uri.encode(mCurFilter));
} else {
baseUri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
}
// Now create and return a CursorLoader that will take care of
// creating a Cursor for the data being displayed.
String selection = "((" + ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME +
" NOTNULL) AND (" + ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + "=1)
AND (" + ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " != '' ))";
String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME
+ " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";
return new CursorLoader(getActivity(), baseUri,
CONTACTS_SUMMARY_PROJECTION, selection, null, sortOrder);
}
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor data) {
// Swap the new cursor in. (The framework will take care of closing the
// old cursor once we return.)
mAdapter.swapCursor(data);
}
public void onLoaderReset(Loader<Cursor> loader) {
// This is called when the last Cursor provided to onLoadFinished()
// above is about to be closed. We need to make sure we are no
// longer using it.
mAdapter.swapCursor(null);
}
/**
* Populate the contact list
*/
private void populateContactList() {
// start mappings
String[] from = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME };
int[] to = new int[] { R.id.contactInfo };
// Create an empty adapter we will use to display the loaded data.
mAdapter = new ContactsCursorAdapter(getActivity().getApplicationContext(),
R.layout.contact_manager, null, from, to);
setListAdapter(mAdapter);
}
}
}
And if I comment the setFastScrollEnabled()
call, then it does not error out, but I do not see the AlphabetIndexer
working.
Does this need to be implemented differently because my custom adapter is set in a ListFragment
and not a ListActivity
?
Does anyone have suggestions about how to make this all work?
So I finally got this to work. Here's how i did it:
I added:
ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setFastScrollEnabled(true);
lv.setScrollingCacheEnabled(true);
to the onLoadFinished()
method after the new cursor was swapped in like so
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor data) {
// Swap the new cursor in. (The framework will take care of closing the
// old cursor once we return.)
mAdapter.swapCursor(data);
ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setFastScrollEnabled(true);
lv.setScrollingCacheEnabled(true);
}
consequently these three statements were removed from the onActivityCreated()
method of my custom ListFragment
.
