dynamically change list view images in android from memory

Question

I have a list view with image.I want to change list item image on onActivityResult of image capturing .I get the image file bitmap but when I change the list items image the list view image does not change.

final Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(fileUri.getPath(),
                    options);
            imageView1.setImageBitmap(bitmap);//there a bitmap exist---

            dataAdapter.taskList.get(0).setImgBitmap(bitmap);

//this is not changing list image.why??????? dataAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); here the imageview1 has a bitmap and I set it to first item of list using CustomAdapter class's ArrayList<Task> taskList parameter.

here full sample code

I have lost my days .please help me.

Answer 1

After a long time I found my own question answer. The code is not fully matched to this question because answer is from my another project.I am just giving the way I succeeded.

Step 1:

When an image is captured I call imagedata(Bitmap bitmap).It convert each bitmap to base_64 string and this method adds new image to a list as array element of type ByteDrawable.

I create new adapter object again and set that adapter to the listview.

private void imagedata(Bitmap bitmap) {
        ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        // Must compress the Image to reduce image size to make upload easy
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);
        byte[] byte_arr = stream.toByteArray();
        // Encode Image to String
        image_data = Base64.encodeToString(byte_arr, 0);
        byteDrawableList.add(new ByteDrawable(image_data));

        listAdapter = new CustomAdapter(this);
        listView.setAdapter(listAdapter );
    }

    public class ByteDrawable {
        String imageAsBytes;
        public ByteDrawable(String imageAsBytes) {
            this.imageAsBytes = imageAsBytes;
        }
    }

Step 2:

Then I populate my list from that arraylist and in Adapter class's constructor I convert the base_64 string to bitmap and add element to a local arraylist items<Item> , then in getview() method I used items to create listview.

private class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<ByteDrawable>{
    public CustomAdapter(Context context, int resource, ArrayList<ByteDrawable > byteDrawableList) {
        super(context, resource, byteDrawableList);
        this.context=context;
        this.byteDrawableList= new ArrayList<ByteDrawable >();
        this.byteDrawableList.addAll(byteDrawableList);
            inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
            long k = 0;
            for (ByteDrawable bd : byteDrawableList) {
                String base = bd.getImageByteString();
                byte[] imageAsBytes = Base64.decode(base.getBytes(),
                        Base64.DEFAULT);

                items.add(new Item(k, BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(
                        imageAsBytes, 0, imageAsBytes.length)));
                k++;
            }

    }
   private class Item {
        final long itmeid;
        final Bitmap drawabledata;

        Item(long id, Bitmap bitmap) {
            this.itmeid = id;
            this.drawabledata = bitmap;
        }
    }
    public View getView(final int position, View view, ViewGroup viewGroup) {
        /* follow normal way to set data to list item*/
    }
    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return items.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int i) {
        return items.get(i);
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int i) {
        return items.get(i).itmeid;
    }
}

Hope this will help someone if they face same problem.
