Ch 4 - Filtered multi-select listview

digitalje · November 27th, 2011, 12:06 PM

I was running the example on page 159 (Customizing the List View). I understand how the list is filtered by using the setTextFilterEnabled method. But when the list is filtered and you select one of the items, the wrong president's name is displayed. It looks like it is returning the name of the president in the location of the original non-filtered list.

Any way to use the filtered list instead?

I found one solution. I don't know if its the correct one, but it works. I am posting it for anyone that encounters the same issue. I modified the onListItemClick event.

Code:

        final ListAdapter listAdapter = getListAdapter();
    	
        Toast.makeText(this, 
    	    "You have selected " + listAdapter.getItem(position).toString(), 
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Hi All
Well that gives you the right name in the message, the wrong name is selected in the list. If you type "O" and select Obama, then dismiss the filter (ESC). You will see Eisenhower's name checked and not Obama's. The filter is neat, but if it gets you the wrong data, what good is it?

Did any one try 'simple_list_item_2' and get it to work?
