How to get onChildClick value from expandablelistview in android?

Question

I am working on a project with parsing JSON from url to ExpandableListView. Depending on the "status" tag value (active or pending) , will be placing records accordingly to to different groups "Active" and "Pending". Everything is working fine.

My Problem is when I click on a child inside the second group which should show different data, but I am getting data the data from first group child.

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;

import android.widget.ExpandableListView;

import android.widget.TextView;

public class ExpandableActivity1 extends ExpandableListActivity {
    JSONArray jArray = null;
    JSONObject json_data = null;
    TextView txtMLSID;
        List<Map<String, String>> child1;
     List<Map<String, String>> child2;

       @Override
       public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.main);



    List<Map<String, String>> groups = new ArrayList<Map<String, String>>();
    Map<String, String> group1 = new HashMap<String, String>();
    group1.put("group", " Active");
    groups.add(group1);
    Map<String, String> group2 = new HashMap<String, String>();
    group2.put("group", " Pending");
    groups.add(group2);
    child1 = new ArrayList<Map<String, String>>();
    child2 = new ArrayList<Map<String, String>>();




    String url ="http://stage.realtylog.net/iPhone/functions.php?username=hussain16&act=listing";

    String  json = JSONfunctions.getJSONfromURL(url);




 try{




 jArray = new JSONArray(json);

 for(int i=0;i<jArray.length() ;i++){                       


     Map<String, String> childdata1 = new HashMap<String, String>();

        JSONObject e = jArray.getJSONObject(i);

        String status = e.getString("2");
         Log.e("log_tag","Status: "+status); 

         if (status.contains("active")){
             Log.e("log_tag","StatusActive: "+status); 

             childdata1.put("0",  String.valueOf(i+1)+" "+ e.getString("mlsid"));



                child1.add(childdata1); 

         }else if(status.contains("pending")){
             Log.e("log_tag","StatusPending: "+status); 



                Map<String, String> childdata2= new HashMap<String, String>();
                childdata2.put("0",  String.valueOf(i+1)+" "+ e.getString("mlsid"));


                child2.add(childdata2);




         }


    }   

  }catch(JSONException e)        {
 Log.e("log_tag", "Error parsing data "+e.toString());
  }





       List<List<Map<String, String>>> childs = new ArrayList<List<Map<String,   String>>>();
        childs.add(child1);
        childs.add(child2);




    SimpleExpandableListAdapter adapter = new SimpleExpandableListAdapter(
            this, groups, R.layout.groups, new String[] { "group" },
            new int[] { R.id.group }, childs, R.layout.childs,
            new String[] { "0"}, new int[] { R.id.child });
        setListAdapter(adapter);
        }

     @Override
    public boolean setSelectedChild(int groupPosition, int childPosition,
             boolean shouldExpandGroup) {
        //do something
       Log.e("log_tag","setSelectedChild: "); 
         return super.setSelectedChild(groupPosition, childPosition,
                  shouldExpandGroup);
   }

    @Override
    public void setSelectedGroup(int groupPosition) {
    //do something

       Log.e("log_tag","setSelectedGroup: "); 
        super.setSelectedGroup(groupPosition);
}


**//Here I am Getting problem**

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public boolean onChildClick(
           ExpandableListView parent, 
           View v, 
           int groupPosition,
           int childPosition,
           long id) {
Log.d( "LOG_TAG", "onChildClick: "+"GROUP: "+groupPosition+"   CHILD Position:  "+ childPosition);

HashMap<String, String> o =    (HashMap<String, String>)  parent.getItemAtPosition(childPosition+1);           

              String val = o.get("0");
          Log.d( "LOG_TAG", "selected value :  "+val  );




           return false;

       }






 }

LogCat Info when public boolean onChildClick () called :

10-20 11:24:28.004: DEBUG/LOG_TAG(1652): onChildClick: GROUP: 0   CHILD Position:  0
10-20 11:24:28.004: DEBUG/LOG_TAG(1652): selected value :  1 555
10-20 11:24:42.454: DEBUG/LOG_TAG(1652): onChildClick: GROUP: 1   CHILD Position:  0
10-20 11:24:42.454: DEBUG/LOG_TAG(1652): selected value :  1 555

Logcat shows that I am getting same value for group1(Active) and group2(Pending)

I need specific value for each child view based on click.

You have to use Adapter's getChild(groupPosition, childPosition) method to retrieve the instance of child and the cast it to your Map and get it working.

@Override
public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v,
        int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id) {

    Toast.makeText(this, (String)((Map<String, String>)
                adapter.getChild(groupPosition, childPosition)).get("lalit"),
                                                      Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    return super.onChildClick(parent, v, groupPosition, childPosition, id);
}

The below isn't perfect but it works. It might be helpful to those who need to access the view without overriding the onChildClick method such as a custom dialog with an ExpandableListView.

    ExpandableListView ellQuickKeys = (ExpandableListView) layout.findViewById(R.id.ellQuickKeys);

    SimpleExpandableListAdapter expListAdapter =
            new SimpleExpandableListAdapter(
                            this,
                            createGroupList(),                              // Creating group List.
                            R.layout.group_row,                             // Group item layout XML.                       
                            new String[] { "Group Item" },  // the key of group item.
                            new int[] { R.id.row_name },    // ID of each group item.-Data under the key goes into this TextView.                                   
                            createChildList(),                              // childData describes second-level entries.
                            R.layout.child_row,                             // Layout for sub-level entries(second level).
                            new String[] {"Sub Item"},              // Keys in childData maps to display.
                            new int[] { R.id.lblChildText}             // Data under the keys above go into these TextViews.
                    );

    ellQuickKeys.setOnChildClickListener(new OnChildClickListener() {    
        public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v, int groupPosition,int childPosition,long id) {
            Log.d("Selected text: " + ((TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.lblChildText)).getText());

            return false;
        }
    });
    ellQuickKeys.setAdapter(expListAdapter);

child_row.xml

<?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/lblChildText"
     android:paddingLeft="50dp"
     android:focusable="false"
     android:textSize="18dp"
     android:textStyle="normal"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</LinearLayout>

Try This:

@Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    ExpandableListContextMenuInfo info = (ExpandableListContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo();

    String title = ((TextView) info.targetView).getText().toString();

    int type = ExpandableListView.getPackedPositionType(info.packedPosition);
    System.out.println(" ----- " + type);
    if (type == ExpandableListView.PACKED_POSITION_TYPE_CHILD) {
        int groupPos = ExpandableListView.getPackedPositionGroup(info.packedPosition);
        int childPos = ExpandableListView.getPackedPositionChild(info.packedPosition);
        Toast.makeText(this,title + ": Child " + childPos + " clicked in group "+ groupPos, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        return true;
    } else if (type == ExpandableListView.PACKED_POSITION_TYPE_GROUP) {
        int groupPos = ExpandableListView.getPackedPositionGroup(info.packedPosition);
        Toast.makeText(this, title + ": Group " + groupPos + " clicked",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        return true;
    }

    return false;
}
