What you could do is parse the XML to an ArrayList, then apply the ArrayList to a ListView adapter. It would probably work something like this:
// create an arraylist object to add all the string values from the xml
ArrayList titles = new ArrayList();
// populate your array
XMLEncoder xmlEncoder = new XMLEncoder(BufferedOutputStream(
new FileOutputStream("titles.xml")));
xmlEncoder.writeObject(titles);
xmlEncoder.close();
// create another arraylist that will get applied to list view
ArrayList filteredTitles = new ArrayList();
// sort through all the xml strings in the first xml arraylist
// make sure were only getting the title nodes and adding them
// to the new arraylist 'filteredTitles'
foreach(string node in titles) {
if (node == titleNode) {
filteredTitles.add(node)
}
}
// apply the filtered titles to the arraylist
listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.your_list_view_id);
ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
filteredTitles );
listView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
You can do it as:
In your Activity class,
And inside
onCreate()
method, initialize items array:And use this items array with your adapter.
