UITableView for Android

UITableView UITableView UITableView

Usage

UITableView

Defining your layout

<br.com.dina.ui.widget.UITableView 
    android:id="@+id/tableView" 
    style="@style/UITableView" />

Working on your activity

public class Example1Activity extends Activity {    
	UITableView tableView;
	
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);        
        tableView = (UITableView) findViewById(R.id.tableView);        
        createList();        
        Log.d("Example1Activity", "total items: " + tableView.getCount());        
        tableView.commit();
    }
    
    private void createList() {
    	CustomClickListener listener = new CustomClickListener();
    	tableView.setClickListener(listener);
    	tableView.addItem("Example 1", "Summary text 1");
    	tableView.addItem("Example 2", "Summary text 2");
    	tableView.addItem("Example 3", "Summary text 3");
    	tableView.addItem("Example 4", "Summary text 4");
    }
    
    private class CustomClickListener implements ClickListener {
		@Override
		public void onClick(int index) {
			Toast.makeText(Example1Activity.this, "item clicked: " + index, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
		}    	
    }    
}

UITableViewActivity

In order to use the a default list you can extend the UITableViewActivity, a simple example can be found in the source code below:

public class ExampleActivity extends UITableViewActivity {	
	
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        CustomClickListener listener = new CustomClickListener();
        getUITableView().setClickListener(listener);
    }
        
    private class CustomClickListener implements ClickListener {	
		@Override
		public void onClick(int index) {
			Toast.makeText(ExampleActivity.this, "item clicked: " + index, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
		}	    	
    }

	@Override
	protected void populateList() {
		getUITableView().addItem("Example 1", "Summary text 1");
		getUITableView().addItem("Example 2", "Summary text 2");
		getUITableView().addItem("Example 3", "Summary text 3");
		getUITableView().addItem("Example 4", "Summary text 4");
		getUITableView().addItem("Example 5", "Summary text 5");		
	}	    
}

In this example you don't even need to care about the xml since the UITableViewActivity is using a default layout template the only displays the list in the screen. It is pretty mych the same list you are seeing in the screenshot provided at the beginning of this explanation.

UIButton

<LinearLayout
	android:orientation="vertical"
	android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
	android:layout_height="fill_parent">	

		<br.com.dina.ui.widget.UIButton
			android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
			android:layout_height="fill_parent"
			android:padding="10dip"
			ui:title="some title one"/>

		<br.com.dina.ui.widget.UIButton
			android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
			android:layout_height="fill_parent"
			ui:title="some title two"
			ui:subtitle="some subtitle two"
			android:padding="10dip" />	
			
		<br.com.dina.ui.widget.UIButton
			android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
			android:layout_height="fill_parent"
			ui:title="some title three"
			ui:subtitle="with image"
			ui:image="@drawable/search_image"
			android:padding="10dip"/>    			    		
</LinearLayout>

Customization

UITableView is an Android Library Project and all its resources will be merged into the referring project. So, in order tu customize the colors of the UITableView and its elements, you need to create the same resources on your own project and this resources will be before the default values provided by the library project.

If you don't like the default colors that is defined in the colors.xml file simply override the default values in the main projects colors.xml file. These are the keys you need to work on to have your customized UITableView working.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>	
    <!-- LIST BORDER COLOR -->
    <color name="rounded_container_border">#ffb7babb</color>

    <!-- ITEM BACKGROUND COLOR - STATE - DEFAULT -->
    <color name="base_start_color_default">#FFFFFF</color>
    <color name="base_end_color_default">#FFFFFF</color>
	
    <!-- ITEM BACKGROUND COLOR - STATE - PRESSED -->
    <color name="base_start_color_pressed">#ff3590c4</color>
    <color name="base_end_color_pressed">#ff2570ba</color>

    <!-- ITEM TEXT COLORS - STATES - PRESSED AND DEFAULT -->
    <color name="text_color_default">#000000</color>
    <color name="text_color_pressed">#ffffff</color>			
</resources>
