Hello, This is the method I used to set the individual lines of a list view to different colors.
At a high level this list contains a list of companion names for the swtor game. Companions which are from the imperial side are listed in red, republic are listed in blue. ========================================== This is the code for the list array and view: ... CompanionName[] newValues; // will store an array. ... newValues = new CompanionName[numCursorRows]; // create an array of proper size. c.moveToFirst(); for (int i=0;i<numCursorRows;i++) { // todo: look into this html style later. //myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<p style="color:red">" + someText + "</p>")); // values[i]=Html.fromHtml("<p style="color:red">" + "foo" + "</p>"); newValues[i] = new CompanionName(); newValues[i].name=c.getString(0); // This cursor has two columns companion name and faction side newValues[i].faction=c.getString(1); // This cursor has two columns companion name and faction side c.moveToNext(); } // Build the listview // The adapter determines how to draw on screen. The listview will ask the adapter to draw the view // with adapter's getView method. MyAdapter<CompanionName> adapter = new MyAdapter<CompanionName>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, newValues); theList.setAdapter(adapter); // theList is the ListView theList.setOnItemClickListener(new MyOnItemClickListener(this)); ================= This is the code for the array public class MyAdapter<T> extends ArrayAdapter<T> { private static String TAG = "adapter"; CompanionName[] myobjects; public MyAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId, T[] objects) { super(context, textViewResourceId, objects); myobjects = (CompanionName[]) objects; } @Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { View row = super.getView(position, convertView, parent); Log.d(TAG, "GetView with position "+position); TextView text = (TextView) row.findViewById(android.R.id.text1); if (null != text) { if (myobjects[position].faction.equals("Imperial")) { text.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#7b2325")); // red } else { text.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#64788e")); // blue } } return row; } =========================== This is the code for the companionName public class CompanionName { public String name; public String faction; private static String TAG = "CompanionName"; public CompanionName() { Log.d(TAG, "constructor hit"); name = "not specified"; faction = "not specified"; } public String toString() { return name; } } -- John F.
