In my app I have a List view,
The view is populated by an array of strings
Here is the code and explanation to help you guys
So the string is
StaffList= Client + " Rates: " + Rates + " " + Staff + " Budget Hours: " + BudgetHoursPassData + " Member Budget: " + MemberBudgetPassData + "Notes" + NotesPassData;
That String is then added to an Array
StaffArray.add(StaffList);
This Array is then passed using intents to another activity and displayed in the list view
public void PassData(){
Intent GoToReport=new Intent(getApplicationContext(), createProject.class);
MemberBudgetPassData= MemberBudget.getText().toString();
BudgetHoursPassData = budgetHours.getText().toString();
NotesPassData= Notes.getText().toString();
Toasty.info(popupActivity.this, StaffArray.toString(),Toasty.LENGTH_LONG).show();
GoToReport.putStringArrayListExtra("Array",StaffArray);
startActivity(GoToReport);
Animatoo.animateCard(popupActivity.this);
}
Here is the adapter
final ArrayAdapter arrayAdapter =new ArrayAdapter<>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, Array);
if (Array == null){
Toasty.info(createProject.this,"Select a Staff Memebr",Toasty.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
StaffListView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
}
Now You can go back to the same activity and add a second Item to the array
public void DialogBuilder(){
Intent GoToReport=new Intent(getApplicationContext(), popupActivity.class);
GoToReport.putStringArrayListExtra("Array", Array);
startActivity(GoToReport);
Animatoo.animateCard(createProject.this);
}
So Now My problem I am having is that The list populates fine with the above code
But As Soon As I add a System.getProperty("line.separator")
or " \n "
to the string
like
StaffList= Client + "\n"+ " Rates: " + Rates + "\n"+ " " + Staff + "\n"+ " Budget Hours: " + BudgetHoursPassData + "\n"+ " Member Budget: " + MemberBudgetPassData + "\n"+ "Notes" + NotesPassData;
The second/third etc. item in the list does not populate, So only the first Item is displayed in the List BUT without the /n
or System.getProperty("line.separator")
All the items are displayed
I solved this By changing the Listview to A Spinner and calling a spinner adapter
StaffList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<>(createProject.this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, Array));
