Adding a ProgressBar to a ListView/OnClick called a single time

Question

The idea is to have a list of items where after clicking an item, a ProgressBar will slowly fill as the task is completed. For example, picture a list of files, with a Download

Answer 1

I have figured this out.

Instead of calling notifyDataSetChanged(), I stored a reference to each ProgressBar in the DownloadItem object. Then, when scrolling through the ListView, when old objects were passed as convertView, I removed the ProgressBar from the old DownloadInfo and put it on the new one.

Thus, getView for my array adapter then became:

 @Override
 public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    View row = convertView;
    final DownloadInfo info = getItem(position);
    // We need to set the convertView's progressBar to null.

    ViewHolder holder = null;

    if(null == row) {
      LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
      row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.file_download_row, parent, false);

      holder = new ViewHolder();
      holder.textView = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.downloadFileName);
      holder.progressBar = (ProgressBar) row.findViewById(R.id.downloadProgressBar);
      holder.button = (Button)row.findViewById(R.id.downloadButton);
      holder.info = info;

      row.setTag(holder);
    } else {
      holder = (ViewHolder) row.getTag();

      holder.info.setProgressBar(null);
      holder.info = info;
      holder.info.setProgressBar(holder.progressBar);
    }

    holder.textView.setText(info.getFilename());
    holder.progressBar.setProgress(info.getProgress());
    holder.progressBar.setMax(info.getFileSize());
    info.setProgressBar(holder.progressBar);

    holder.button.setEnabled(info.getDownloadState() == DownloadState.NOT_STARTED);
    final Button button = holder.button;
    holder.button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
        info.setDownloadState(DownloadState.QUEUED);
        button.setEnabled(false);
        button.invalidate();
        FileDownloadTask task = new FileDownloadTask(info);
        task.executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR);
      }
    });
    return row;
  }

The download AsyncTask would then set the progress on the progressBar, if it was not null, and this worked as expected.
