I have been searching for an answer to this, but the solutions don\'t seem to work for me. I have a TextView and an EditText in a list item. I am trying to update the stored v
I've had that same problem, when I move the scrolling to my list up / down the text value of my editText changed,then my solution was that in my EditText add a setOnFocusChangeListener and within it add a addTextChangedListener but relationed whit other instance of the same editText.
EditText etSumScans;
@NonNull
@Override
public View getView(final int position, @Nullable View convertView, @NonNull ViewGroup parent) {
view = convertView;
if (view == null)
view = LayoutInflater.from(myContextItem).inflate(resourceLayoutItem, null);
shipmentLinesDTO = myListItem.get(position);
etSumScans = view.findViewById(R.id.etSumScans);
etSumScans.setText(shipmentLinesDTO.getAttribute1() );
etSumScans.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (!hasFocus){
EditText secondInstanceEditText= v.findViewById(R.id.etSumScans);
secondInstanceEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
}
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
getItem(position).setAttribute1(s.toString());
}
});
}
}
});
}
With this I solved my problem. I hope helps.
The problem is related to the fact that you are not removing the previously added text watcher from the EditText widget. Instead, you keep appending new watchers to the list. Once you attempt to edit widget content all text watchers get notified sequentially, resulting in wrong user details being updated.
EditText/TextView does not provide a way to remove previously added text watchers without having an explicit reference to them. This means you will have to rework your code to keep references to text watchers and to either create/add/remove watchers for every getView method execution or to extend TextWatcher allowing altering user details to update once it gets fired. The latter is implemented below.
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder = null;
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.user_details_list_row, parent,false);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.mCaptionTextView = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(id.user_detail_row_caption);
holder.mWatcher = new MutableWatcher();
holder.mDetailEditText = (EditText)convertView.findViewById(id.user_detail_row_value);
holder.mDetailEditText.addTextChangedListener(holder.mWatcher);
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else{
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
holder.mCaptionTextView.setText(mUserCaptions.get(position));
holder.mWatcher.setActive(false);
holder.mDetailEditText.setText(mUserDetails.get(position),BufferType.EDITABLE);
holder.mWatcher.setPosition(position);
holder.mWatcher.setActive(true);
return convertView;
}
static class ViewHolder{
public TextView mCaptionTextView;
public EditText mDetailEditText;
public MutableWatcher mWatcher;
}
class MutableWatcher implements TextWatcher {
private int mPosition;
private boolean mActive;
void setPosition(int position) {
mPosition = position;
}
void setActive(boolean active) {
mActive = active;
}
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) { }
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) { }
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
if (mActive) {
mUserDetails.set(mPosition, s.toString());
}
}
}
Hope this helps.
Check your index value if it matches with the row position you are working on. If you use the holder pattern maybe that value wont change from 0 to 7-8 depending in your screen size. Something like that happened to me once, I think I solved it by implementing the getCount
method. This way the row 50 gave me the position 50 and not 7 (for example).
