Step 1: Start an android project.
Step 2: Open the strings.xml file and write the following code
<resources>
<string name="app_name">ListView Demo</string>
<string name="txt_list">List of Cities</string>
<string-array name="array_cities">
<item>Bangalore</item>
<item>Mysore</item>
<item>Chitradurga</item>
<item>Dharwad</item>
<item>Belgum</item>
<item>Mangalore</item>
<item>Kodagu</item>
<item>Hassan</item>
</string-array>
</resources>
Step 3: Design the form (activity_main.xml ) as shown in the video.
activity_main.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="216dp"
android:layout_height="57dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="79dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="116dp"
android:layout_marginRight="79dp"
android:layout_marginStart="116dp"
android:layout_marginTop="46dp"
android:text="@string/txt_list"
android:textSize="30sp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<ListView
android:id="@+id/listview_cities"
android:layout_width="412dp"
android:layout_height="505dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginStart="5dp"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/textView" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
Step 4: Open MainActivity.java file and write the following code.
package com.example.part_a6_listview;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Adapter;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ListView listView_cities=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.listview_cities);
final String[] cities=getResources().getStringArray(R.array.array_cities);
// ArrayAdapter is a bridge between data source and UI components
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(MainActivity.this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 ,cities);
listView_cities.setAdapter(adapter);
listView_cities.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"Clicked "+cities[position],Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
}
Step 5: Run the project
