A fragment that displays a list of items by binding to a data source such as an array or Cursor, and exposes event handlers when the user selects an item.

ListFragment hosts a ListView object that can be bound to different data sources, typically either an array or a Cursor holding query results. Binding, screen layout, and row layout are discussed in the following sections.

Screen Layout

ListFragment has a default layout that consists of a single list view. However, if you desire, you can customize the fragment layout by returning your own view hierarchy from onCreateView. To do this, your view hierarchy must contain a ListView object with the id "@android:id/list" (or list.list if it's in code)

Optionally, your view hierarchy can contain another view object of any type to display when the list view is empty. This "empty list" notifier must have an id "android:empty". Note that when an empty view is present, the list view will be hidden when there is no data to display.

The following code demonstrates an (ugly) custom list layout. It has a list with a green background, and an alternate red "no data" message.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:paddingLeft="8dp"
        android:paddingRight="8dp">
    <ListView android:id="@id/android:list"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent"
              android:background="#00FF00"
              android:layout_weight="1"
              android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"/>
    <TextView android:id="@id/android:empty"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent"
              android:background="#FF0000"
              android:text="No data"/>
</LinearLayout>

Row Layout

You can specify the layout of individual rows in the list. You do this by specifying a layout resource in the ListAdapter object hosted by the fragment (the ListAdapter binds the ListView to the data; more on this later).

A ListAdapter constructor takes a parameter that specifies a layout resource for each row. It also has two additional parameters that let you specify which data field to associate with which object in the row layout resource. These two parameters are typically parallel arrays.

Android provides some standard row layout resources. These are in the layout class, and have names such as simple_list_item_1, simple_list_item_2, and two_line_list_item. The following layout XML is the source for the resource two_line_list_item, which displays two data fields,one above the other, for each list row.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <TextView android:id="@+id/text1"
        android:textSize="16sp"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
    <TextView android:id="@+id/text2"
        android:textSize="16sp"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>

You must identify the data bound to each TextView object in this layout. The syntax for this is discussed in the next section.

Binding to Data

You bind the ListFragment's ListView object to data using a class that implements the ListAdapter interface. Android provides two standard list adapters: SimpleAdapter for static data (Maps), and SimpleCursorAdapter for Cursor query results.

You must use ListFragment.setListAdapter() to associate the list with an adapter. Do not directly call ListView.setAdapter() or else important initialization will be skipped.

Provide default implementation to return a simple list view. Subclasses can override to replace with their own layout. If doing so, the returned view hierarchy must have a ListView whose id is android.R.id.list and can optionally have a sibling view id android.R.id.empty that is to be shown when the list is empty.

If you are overriding this method with your own custom content, consider including the standard layout list_content.list_content in your layout file, so that you continue to retain all of the standard behavior of ListFragment. In particular, this is currently the only way to have the built-in indeterminant progress state be shown.

Control whether the list is being displayed. You can make it not displayed if you are waiting for the initial data to show in it. During this time an indeterminant progress indicator will be shown instead.

Applications do not normally need to use this themselves. The default behavior of ListFragment is to start with the list not being shown, only showing it once an adapter is given with setListAdapter(ListAdapter). If the list at that point had not been shown, when it does get shown it will be do without the user ever seeing the hidden state.

Params:
  • shown – If true, the list view is shown; if false, the progress indicator. The initial value is true.
