LinearListView
Android library that allows you to bind a LinearLayout
with a ListAdapter
.
Download
Gradle:
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.frankiesardo:linearlistview:1.0.1@aar'
}
Usage
A simple example of the xml attributes that you can use
<com.linearlistview.LinearListView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:showDividers="none|middle|beginning|end"
android:divider="@drawable/your_divider"
android:dividerPadding="2dp"
app:dividerThickness="2dp"
android:entries="@array/your_array" />
Where: showDividers
, divider
and dividerPadding
have the same meaning of a LinearLayout
(API 11) attributes, entries
is the same as a ListView
attribute and dividerThickness
controls how thick is the divider (namely its height or width depending on its orientation).
In your Activity
you can call myLinearListView.setAdapter(myAdapter)
and each view from your ListAdapter
will be inflated and kept in sync with its data.
Why you want to use a LinearListVew:
- You need an horizontal scrollable list (since
Gallery
is deprecated): Just embed this layout with anhorizontal
orientation in anHorizontalScrollView
. - You need two or more lists in a vertical scrollable view.
- You need to inflate several views in a
LinearLayout
from anAdapter
and you want to keep them synchronized with its data. This is especially useful when working with aCursorAdapter
. - You need a list with a fixed height (the total height of its children). Or, you have a complex, scrollable layout and don't want to use a
ListView
with footers and headers. - You simply want to use a
LinearLayout
with dividers (API 11) with the added benefit of adividerThickness
attribute.
Roadmap
- Adding a
drawSelectorOnTop
attribute.
