How do I get values from a dynamically created android TableRow?
I used the code below to create a TableRow with content dynamically. It works good but I wish to get the values in the TableRow. Here is the sample code (I got it from Google), it has two text values in the TableRow. When I click the TableRow at any position it gives the corresponding value in the TableRow (I wish something similar to a ListView).
All_CustomsActivity.java
public class All_CustomsActivity extends Activity {
String companies[] = { "Google", "Windows", "iPhone", "Nokia", "Samsung",
"Google", "Windows", "iPhone", "Nokia", "Samsung", "Google",
"Windows", "iPhone", "Nokia", "Samsung" };
String os[] = { "Android", "Mango", "iOS", "Symbian", "Bada", "Android",
"Mango", "iOS", "Symbian", "Bada", "Android", "Mango", "iOS",
"Symbian", "Bada" };
TableLayout tl;
TableRow tr;
TableRow mTable = null;
TextView companyTV, valueTV;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
tl = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.maintable);
// addHeaders();
addData();
}
/** This function add the headers to the table **/
public void addHeaders() {
/** Create a TableRow dynamically **/
tr = new TableRow(this);
tr.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
/** Creating a TextView to add to the row **/
TextView companyTV = new TextView(this);
companyTV.setText("Companies");
companyTV.setTextColor(Color.GRAY);
companyTV.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD);
companyTV.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
companyTV.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 0);
tr.addView(companyTV); // Adding textView to tablerow.
/** Creating another textview **/
TextView valueTV = new TextView(this);
valueTV.setText("Operating Systems");
valueTV.setTextColor(Color.GRAY);
valueTV.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
valueTV.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 0);
valueTV.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD);
tr.addView(valueTV); // Adding textView to tablerow.
// Add the TableRow to the TableLayout
tl.addView(tr, new TableLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
// we are adding two textviews for the divider because we have two
// columns
tr = new TableRow(this);
tr.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
/** Creating another textview **/
TextView divider = new TextView(this);
divider.setText("-----------------");
divider.setTextColor(Color.GREEN);
divider.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
divider.setPadding(5, 0, 0, 0);
divider.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD);
tr.addView(divider); // Adding textView to tablerow.
TextView divider2 = new TextView(this);
divider2.setText("-------------------------");
divider2.setTextColor(Color.GREEN);
divider2.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
divider2.setPadding(5, 0, 0, 0);
divider2.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD);
tr.addView(divider2); // Adding textView to tablerow.
// Add the TableRow to the TableLayout
tl.addView(tr, new TableLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
}
/** This function add the data to the table **/
public void addData() {
for (int i = 0; i < companies.length; i++) {
/** Create a TableRow dynamically **/
tr = new TableRow(this);
tr.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
// ImageView im = new ImageView(this);
// im.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.sample_image);
// im.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
// LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
// tr.addView(im);
/** Creating a TextView to add to the row **/
companyTV = new TextView(this);
companyTV.setText(companies[i]);
companyTV.setTextColor(Color.RED);
companyTV.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD);
companyTV.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
companyTV.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);
tr.addView(companyTV); // Adding textView to tablerow.
/** Creating another textview **/
valueTV = new TextView(this);
valueTV.setText(os[i]);
valueTV.setTextColor(Color.GREEN);
valueTV.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
valueTV.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);
valueTV.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD);
tr.addView(valueTV); // Adding textView to tablerow.
// Add the TableRow to the TableLayout
tl.addView(tr, new TableLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
// tr.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

// }
}
main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbars="none" >
<TableLayout
android:id="@+id/maintable"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stretchColumns="0,1" >
</TableLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
In the code above some lines are commented, these lines are what I already tried to get the row values but it failed. Can anyone help me with this?
Answer
I guess you're talking about getting those values on a TableRow click. If this is the case you could add a listener to your TableRow and use getChildAt to get a hold of the two TextViews and get the data:
//...
tr.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
TableRow t = (TableRow) view;
TextView firstTextView = (TextView) t.getChildAt(0);
TextView secondTextView = (TextView) t.getChildAt(1);
String firstText = firstTextView.getText().toString();
String secondText = secondTextView.getText().toString();
}
});
//...
