Android List view refresh

Question

I have one ListView which is showing me some data through an array (which is in another class and I\'m accessing it through it\'s object).

Whenever I delete an elem

Answer 1

Try getListView().refreshDrawableState

Answer 2

You have to notify your ListView adapter that the data has changed.

listViewAdapater.notifyDataSetChanged();

If that for some reason doesn't work and there are some wierd situations where it seems like it wasn't notifying, you can just reassign your adapter via the constructor with the updated array.

Answer 3

    private static ArrayList<Radio> m_streamsList;

    final ListView listView = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.stream_listRS);

    //my class where i insert data into my array
    m_myDBHelp = new DBHelper();
    m_streamsList = m_myDBHelp.selectStreamsList();

    // my list adapter - this is a class created by me
    RadioAdapter adapt = new RadioAdapter(context, m_streamsList);
    listView.setAdapter(adapt);

    ////////////------------- so . when i inserted a row in db, i need to refresh the list
    m_myDBHelp.insertStreamIntoDB(String name, String url);
    /// in my case method invalidate works fine
    listView.invalidate();
    m_streamsList = null;
    m_streamsList = m_myDBHelp.selectStreamsList();

    //you need to set adapter again
    RadioAdapter adapt2 = new RadioAdapter(context, m_streamsList);
    listView.setAdapter(adapt2);

Answer 4

I have no notifyDataSetChanged() method (Android 2.3).

The following worked for me:

getListView().invalidate();

In my case I have changed the whole adapter and it still didn't refresh, so for me the method described above is the only working solution.

Answer 5

List refreshing for me: listView.invalidateViews();

It'll do:

mDataChanged = true;
rememberSyncState();
requestLayout();
invalidate();

The case as to manage some list item removal or removal all element at once.
