Listview only creates one item than throws an exception

1.1k views Asked by At

I try to create an activity to choose categories but my listview throws an exception after first element is created. I want to create the list item as: picture on left and name on the right. with default entries.

public class categoryAdapter extends BaseAdapter{
String [] categories;
Context context;
int [] imageId;
//List<Integer> categoriesChosen = new ArrayList<Integer>();
private static LayoutInflater inflater=null;
public categoryAdapter(Context mainActivity, String[] categories, int[] images) {
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    this.categories = categories;
    imageId = images;
    context=mainActivity;
    inflater = ( LayoutInflater )context.
            getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return categories.length;
}

@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return position;
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return position;
}

public class Holder
{
    TextView tv;
    ImageView img;
}
@Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Holder holder=new Holder();
    Log.e("Holder Created", categories[position]);
    View rowView;
    Log.e("View Created", categories[position]);
    rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.choose_category, null);
    Log.e("Inflater inflated", categories[position]);
    holder.tv=(TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.category_text_view);
    Log.e("view tv", categories[position]);
    holder.img=(ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.category_image);
    Log.e("view img", categories[position]);
    holder.tv.setText(categories[position]);
    Log.e("tv set", categories[position]);
    holder.img.setImageResource(imageId[position]);
    Log.e("img set", categories[position]);
    Log.e("Category created", categories[position]);

    rowView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Toast.makeText(context, "You Clicked " + categories[position], Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

            //categoriesChosen.add(position);
        }
    });
    Log.e("onclick set", categories[position]);
    //return rowView;
    return  null;
}

}

Here is my Activity

   //Categories and images for those categories
String[] categories  = {
        "Animals", "Art", "Entertainment", "Style", "Family", "DIY", "Food", "Science & Tech", "Music & Dac", "Movies % TV"
};

int[] images = {R.drawable.index_background, R.drawable.index_background, R.drawable.index_background,
        R.drawable.index_background, R.drawable.index_background, R.drawable.index_background, R.drawable.index_background,
        R.drawable.index_background, R.drawable.index_background, R.drawable.index_background};


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_choose_category);

    String message;
    for(int i=0; i<categories.length;i++){
        message = Integer.toString(images[i]);
        Log.e("Category and Its int", message );
    }

    ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.choose_category_listview);
    categoryAdapter adapter = new categoryAdapter(getApplicationContext(), categories, images);
    listView.setAdapter(adapter);

And the error I get ... With my logs ...

Here's how you get this error:

//return rowView;
return  null;

should be:

return rowView;

Change your entire method getView() with this:

@Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    Holder holder;
    View rowView;
    if(convertView==null){
        rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.choose_category, parent,false);
        holder = new ViewHolder();
        holder.tv=(TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.category_text_view);
        holder.img=(ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.category_image);
        rowView.setTag(holder);
    }
    else{
        rowView= convertView;
        holder = (Holder)rowView.getTag();
    }

    holder.tv.setText(categories[position]);
    holder.img.setImageResource(imageId[position]);

    rowView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Toast.makeText(context, "You Clicked " + categories[position], Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    });
    return rowView;
}

You are using Holder and convertView all in wrong way. Learn about it here and here.
