How to use SimpleAdapter.ViewBinder?

Question

I have a list with a complex layout R.layout.menu_row. It consists of a ProgressBar and a text field. The adapter I use:

   SimpleAdapter simpleAdapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, getData(path),
            R.layout.menu_row, new String[] { "title", "progress" },
            new int[] { R.id.text1,R.id.progressBar1});

The adapter knows how to handle TextViews by it self but not ProgressBars, so I wrote a complex data binder:

    SimpleAdapter.ViewBinder viewBinder = new SimpleAdapter.ViewBinder() {
        @Override
        public boolean setViewValue(View view, Object data, String textRepresentation) {
            //here goes the code
            if () {
                return true;
            }
            return false;
        }

Now I'm stuck filling the mapping inside the function. I need to set the value of string progress to the setProgress method of the ProgressBar. But I don't get a handle to string progress and to the ProgressBar.

You need to find out if the ViewBinder is called for the ProgressBar and set its progress(from the data parameter(the data from column progress in your case)):

SimpleAdapter.ViewBinder viewBinder = new SimpleAdapter.ViewBinder() {
        @Override
        public boolean setViewValue(View view, Object data, String textRepresentation) {
            if (view.getId() == R.id.progressBar1) {
                // we are dealing with the ProgressBar so set the progress and return true(to let the adapter know you binded the data)
                // set the progress(the data parameter, I don't know what you actually store in the progress column(integer, string etc)).                             
                return true;
            }
            return false; // we are dealing with the TextView so return false and let the adapter bind the data
}

EDIT : I've seen in your addItem method that you do:

temp.put("progress", name);// Why do you set again the name as progress?!?

I think what you should set here is the progress parameter:

temp.put("progress", progress);

Then in the ViewBinder:

if (view.getId() == R.id.progressBar1) {
   Integer theProgress = (Integer) data;
   ((ProgressBar)view).setProgress(theProgress); 
   return true;
}
