Android中的多列自定义ListView

Question

I've problem with adding rows dynamically to a two column custom ListView. The AsyncTask fetches the data correctly from web service but rows are not added to ListView. The add_to_list() procedure is bing called and it is displaying the parameters but ListView is not getting updated. Please guide me what's wrong with the code.

1) mail_row.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/cell_borders"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:paddingBottom="1dip"
    android:paddingTop="1dip"
    android:weightSum="4"
    tools:ignore="HardcodedText" >    
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/msgTime"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        
        android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_weight="1.5"
        android:text="Time" />    
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/msgText"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Answer 1

You have to call adapter.notifyDataSetChanged() when you are dynamically loading the data just make adapter a global variable and change your add_to_list() method to

   private void add_to_list(String tm, String msg) {
    //This message is shown properly
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), msg, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
       try {
           map = null;
           map = new HashMap<String, String>();
           map.put("mail_time", tm);
           map.put("mail_message", msg);
           mylist.add(map);
           adapter.notifyDataSetChanged()
       } catch (Exception e) {
           Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Error", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
       }
}
