I have an activity that I can launched by the options menu and it add or remove data from the db.. I want to autoupdate the list when i come back to this activity.. How can I change the code?.

public class WorkflowChoice extends Activity {

private static final int INIT_JADE_PROFILE = 0;
private static final int MANAGE_DATABASE = 1;
private static final int MODIFY_FILES = 2;
private static final int CHANGE_THEME = 3;
private static final int SHOW_OUTPUT_WORKFLOW = 4;

private MyDatabase db;
TextView wfsTv;
ListView wfsLv;
private Cursor c;

    return db;

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.choice);

    properties_container = (LinearLayout ) findViewById(R.id.properties_container);

    String host = (String) InitJadeProperties.retrieve(this, getString(R.string.main_container_host), getString(R.string.default_host));
    String port = (String) InitJadeProperties.retrieve(this, getString(R.string.main_container_port), getString(R.string.default_port));

    wfsTv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.wfsTv);
    ListView wfsLv = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.wfsLv);

    db=new MyDatabase(getApplicationContext());
db.open();  //apriamo il db


if(db.fetchWfs().getCount()==0){//inserimento dati, solo se il db è vuoto

        db.insertWf("WF1", "class1");
        db.insertWf("WF2", "class2");
        db.insertWf("WF3", "class3");
        db.insertWf("WF4", "class4");
        db.insertWf("WF5", "class5"); 

}

c=db.fetchWfs(); // query
startManagingCursor(c);

SimpleCursorAdapter adapter=new SimpleCursorAdapter( //semplice adapter per i cursor
                this, 
                R.layout.wfs, //il layout di ogni riga/prodotto 
                c, 
                new String[]{MyDatabase.WfMetaData.ID,MyDatabase.WfMetaData.WF_NAME_KEY,MyDatabase.WfMetaData.WF_CLASS_KEY},//questi colonne 
                new int[]{R.id.IDTv,R.id.nameTv,R.id.classTv});//in queste views

wfsLv.setAdapter(adapter); //la listview ha questo adapter


//qui vediamo invece come reperire i dati e usarli, in questo caso li stampiamo in una textview

int nameCol=c.getColumnIndex(MyDatabase.WfMetaData.WF_NAME_KEY);  //indici delle colonne
int classCol=c.getColumnIndex(MyDatabase.WfMetaData.WF_CLASS_KEY);

        do {

                wfsTv.append("Wf Name:"+c.getString(nameCol)+", Class:"+c.getString(classCol)+"\n"); //estrazione dei dati dalla entry del cursor

                } while (c.moveToNext());//iteriamo al prossimo elemento
}

db.close();

Answer 1

You are using an xml file as a row of your listview. In your xml file just set the most outer layout as

android:clickable="true"

and all your child views as

android:clickable="false"

try this hope it will work.

then you can listen it in setonitemclicklistener

Answer 2

for your 1 st question i have

  list.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,long id) {

// here you will get **position** of the item in the list which you can use gor updation/deletion

                }


            });

and for the second question

write your 2nd question-

write your listview intialization code in onResume() method so it will be getting called every time when you came back to this activity..

Answer 3

Try this code:

wfsLv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
  @Override
  public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,int arg2, long arg3) {

  }
});

You have an example at the Android documentation ListView tutorial: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-listview.html
