Displaying List Data in Xamarin.Android and Visual Studio



Introduction

Let we look regarding list view binding. The cross-platform applications with Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android the ListView control binding is structurally similar.

Xamarin.IOS
UITableViewSource 
Xamarin.Android
BaseAdapter

Your need follow Below steps for customizing a list view appearance



Step 1: Layout:

We need to create layout with List View controls.

HelloApp (ProjectName) è Resources  è layout (Right Click) è Add New Item è Select ( Android layout )  è Click Add

File Name: ListDemo.axaml  and drag drop List View control into layout page

<?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:minWidth="25px"
    android:minHeight="25px">
    <ListView
        android:minWidth="25px"
        android:minHeight="25px"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/UserList" />
</LinearLayout>

****ListView Control name : UserList

Step 2: Model :

Create Model and add whatever property is required.

Model Name: User
Namespace :HelloApp.Model

namespace HelloApp.Model
{
    public class User
    {
     
        public string UName;
     
    }
}

Step 3: Adapter

Create adapter class and derived from BaseAdapter .
BaseAdapter is abstract class. we need implement following methods. We need select Row template and

namespace HelloApp.Adapters
{
    class UserAdapters : BaseAdapter<User>
    {
        List<User> userlist;
        Activity useractivity;
        public UserAdapters(Activity context ,List<User> item):base()
        {
            useractivity = context;
            userlist = item;
        }
        public override User this[int position]
        {
            get
            {
                throw new NotImplementedException();
            }
        }

        public override int Count
        {
            get
            {
                return userlist.Count;
            }
        }

        public override long GetItemId(int position)
        {
            return position;
        }

        public override View GetView(int position, View convertView, 
              ViewGroup parent)
        {
            var item = userlist[position];
            if(convertView == null)
            {
                convertView = useractivity.LayoutInflater.Inflate(Android.Resource.Layout.
SimpleExpandableListItem1,null);
              

            }
            convertView.FindViewById<TextView>(Android.Resource.Id.Text1).Text = item.uname;
            return convertView;

        }
    }
}

Step 4: Activity

HelloApp (ProjectName) (Right Click) è Add New Item è Select ( Activity)  è Click Add

Source Code :

namespace HelloApp
{
    [Activity(Label = "ListDemoActivity" , MainLauncher = true)]
    public class ListDemoActivity : Activity
    {
        private ListView UserListView;
        private List<User> userlist;
        protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);

            base.SetContentView(Resource.Layout.ListDemo);
            UserListView = FindViewById<ListView>(Resource.Id.UserList);
            userlist = new List<User>();
            userlist.Add(new User { UName = "Sutahahr" });

            userlist.Add(new User { UName = "Suresh" });
            userlist.Add(new User { UName = "Sumathi" });
            userlist.Add(new User { UName = "Sujatha" });
            UserListView.Adapter = new UserAdapters(this, userlist);


          
        }
    }
  
}

Source code explanation:

1.  [Activity(Label = "ListDemoActivity (Title Of Text)" , MainLauncher = true(Initial launcher))]

2.  private ListView UserListView – Find Control and assign to local variable

3.  private List<User> userlist;   - Assign Collection value

4.  base.SetContentView(Resource.Layout.ListDemo); - Assign layout content in activity

5.  UserListView = FindViewById<ListView>(Resource.Id.UserList); - Find user control from layout page

6.  userlist = new List<User>(); - add collection

7.  UserListView.Adapter = new UserAdapters(this, userlist); - Assign user collection into adapters
