Background: Exercise: Listview Example

This document discusses layouts, controls, and activities in Android mobile app development. It provides examples of implementing ListViews with single and multiple selection options. The objectives are to understand layouts, controls, activities, deploy a simple Android app, and implement ListViews with events. Background information and links are provided. An exercise walks through creating a project with a ListView that allows single selection of items. A second exercise adds multiple selection capability to the ListView.

Exercise: ListView Example


In Android, ListView is a control that is used to show a list of items in a vertically scrolling list. For example, in a
shopping list this control will have a set of items displayed for you in a vertical orientation. We can use Listview to
display the list of items.

In this example, we will have a list of selectable items.


Go to Eclipse and create a new project named “ListViewExample”.

Your res/main.xml file should look like this:

[jfernan, jcunha]@ua.pt 1/3

In-class #2 – Layouts and Controls

And your src/.java file should look like this:

Notice the ListView declaration and its use as “lv1”.


The result should be something like this:

Exercise: ListView with multiple choice


Let’s now make a more “fancy” ListView, where you can select multiple items of the list and have a nice icon to
denote their selection.
Go to Eclipse and create a new project named “ListMchoice”.
Your res/layout/main.xml file should look like this

Then, go to your src/.java file and add the following code:

Notice the differences from the previous example… the key is in the “setChoiceMode ()” method.
The result should look like this:
