动态更改列表视图项中的文本视图颜色

Question

im using simple cursor adapter to fetch all records from a view in listview with custom layout. i want to show the priority textview to change color according to text such as red if priority is high,green if medium and yellow if low.is there some way to do it.im quite new to android

my code for listview

myList=(ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
    myAdapter.open();

    Cursor cursor = myAdapter.fetchAllView();

    startManagingCursor(cursor);
String []from=new String[]{ DbAdapter.KEY_DESCRIPTION,DbAdapter.KEY_TITLE,DbAdapter.KEY_TASK_PRIORITY,DbAdapter.KEY_CATEGORY_NAME,DbAdapter.KEY_TIME,DbAdapter.KEY_DATE };
int[] to=new int[] { R.id.txtdescription,R.id.txtitem,R.id.txtPriority,R.id.txtcategory,R.id.txttimeOne,R.id.txtDateOne}; 
 myCursorAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(ListItems.this, R.layout.items, cursor,from, to);
myList.setAdapter(myCursorAdapter);

listview works fine but how to write a code to change textview color in listview item

thanks in advance

Answer 1

I'd look into using a BaseAdapter . This will give you much more control over each row.

Answer 2

you need to use use your custom cursor adapter, in that you can change things dyanamically

here I am giving an example, in bindView method change the color of text

public class MessageAdapter extends CursorAdapter {
private Cursor mCursor;
private Context mContext;
private final LayoutInflater mInflater;


public MessageAdapter(Context context, Cursor c) {
    super(context, c);
    mInflater=LayoutInflater.from(context);
mContext=context;
}

@Override
public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor) {

    TextView mobileNo=(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.mobileNolistitem);
    mobileNo.setText(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(TextMeDBAdapter.KEY_MOBILENO)));

    TextView frequency=(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.frequencylistitem);
    frequency.setText(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(TextMeDBAdapter.KEY_FREQUENCY)));

    TextView rowid=(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.rowidlistitem);
    rowid.setText(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(TextMeDBAdapter.KEY_ID)));

}

@Override
public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) {
    final View view=mInflater.inflate(R.layout.message_list_item,parent,false); 
    return view;
}

}
