Add textView to a ListView as a divider

Question

I am trying to add a TextView to my list view but when i do it i get a force close. I am trying to display the fist letter in the songname before the song. songlist is a string arraylist and this is all in a list view.

 Collections.sort(songtitle);
              TextView divide = (TextView)findViewById(R.layout.song);

              adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.layout.song,songtitle);
              int l= 0;
              while(l < adapter.getCount()-1 ){
                  if(songtitle.get(l).charAt(0) == songtitle.get(l+1).charAt(0)){
                      adapter.add(songtitle.get(l));
                     }else{
                      String songname1 = songtitle.get(l);
                      String newString = songname1.substring(0,1);
                      divide.append(newString);// This is where i get the force close  ... I want to display this textView ////

                  }
                 l++;
              }


                setListAdapter(adapter);

        }

Answer 1

As stated before, you should try creating your own custom Adapter .

public class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter

In this there are a few methods, that you need to override in particular getView() and getViewTypeCount() . The latter returns the number of types of ListItems that can be in your List (eg song and letter TextView ).

Answer 2

您必须使用CustomAdapter及其自定义视图来执行此操作。
