In this blog,
I will show, how to create the dynamic views and get the data accordingly.
In this example, I am creating some UI elements on the screen at run time. Creating text view, RadioGroup, CheckBox and Spinner dynamically by dummy JSON data and creating the on click listener for button. After clicking on the button I will get the data from each created views and show it.
How to Implement
In this example, I have dynamically created four Types of Views
1 |
String viewTypes[] = {"R", "S", "C", "T"}; |
- R stands RadioGroup
- S stands Spinner
- C stands Checkbox
- T stands TextView
In this example, I have created above view by dummy JSON Data.
I am using option_name as a Heading
1 2 3 |
JSONObject eachData = customOptnList.getJSONObject(noOfCustomOpt); customOptionsName.setText(eachData.getString("option_name")); viewProductLayout.addView(customOptionsName); |
and variant_name as a sub data
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 |
if (eachData.getString("option_type").equals("S")) { final JSONArray dropDownJSONOpt = eachData.getJSONArray("variants"); ArrayList<String> SpinnerOptions = new ArrayList<String>(); for (int j = 0; j < dropDownJSONOpt.length(); j++) { String optionString = dropDownJSONOpt.getJSONObject(j).getString("variant_name"); SpinnerOptions.add(optionString); } ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(MainActivity.this, R.layout.spiner_row, SpinnerOptions); Spinner spinner = new Spinner(MainActivity.this); allViewInstance.add(spinner); spinner.setAdapter(spinnerArrayAdapter); spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() { @Override public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView, View selectedItemView, int position, long id) { try { String variant_name = dropDownJSONOpt.getJSONObject(position).getString("variant_name"); Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), variant_name + "", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } catch (JSONException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } @Override public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView) { } }); viewProductLayout.addView(spinner); } |
option_type specifies the Type of the Views which is gotten from the JSON dummy data.
And I have used an ArrayList for storing the instance of the views.
1 |
List<View> allViewInstance = new ArrayList<View>(); |
and store the current view
1 |
allViewInstance.add(rg); |
For getting the data
After the views have created, We have to get the data which is selected in the views.
Then first we have to get the instance of current view
1 |
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) allViewInstance.get(noOfViews); |
and then by below code you can get the data from spinner
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
if (eachData.getString("option_type").equals("S")) { Spinner spinner = (Spinner) allViewInstance.get(noOfViews); JSONArray dropDownJSONOpt = eachData.getJSONArray("variants"); String variant_name = dropDownJSONOpt.getJSONObject(spinner.getSelectedItemPosition()).getString("variant_name"); Log.d("variant_name", variant_name + ""); optionsObj.put(eachData.getString("option_name"), "" + variant_name); } |
Here I get the variant name of the spinner view but we can get anything which we want to get from views.
