I didn't like the extension I've found which do that (it overrides the whole binding function instead of just enhancing it). so I wrote my own.
package com.utils;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.SimpleAdapter;
public class SimpleAdapterEx extends SimpleAdapter {
private int mResource;
private int[] mTo;
private String[] mFrom;
private List<? extends Map<String, ?>> mData;
public SimpleAdapterEx(Context context, List<? extends Map<String, ?>> data,
int resource, String[] from, int[] to) {
super(context, data, resource, from, to);
mResource = resource;
mData = data;
mTo = to;
mFrom = from;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View v = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
v = createViewFromResourceEx(v, position, convertView, parent, mResource);
return v;
}
@Override
public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View v = super.getDropDownView(position, convertView, parent);
v = createViewFromResourceEx(v, position, convertView, parent, mResource);
return v;
}
private View createViewFromResourceEx(View v, int position, View convertView,
ViewGroup parent, int resource) {
bindView(position, v);
return v;
}
private void bindView(int position, View view) {
final Map dataSet = mData.get(position);
if (dataSet == null) {
return;
}
final ViewBinder binder = getViewBinder();
final String[] from = mFrom;
final int[] to = mTo;
final int count = to.length;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
final View v = view.findViewById(to[i]);
if (v != null) {
final Object data = dataSet.get(from[i]);
String text = data == null ? "" : data.toString();
if (text == null) {
text = "";
}
boolean bound = false;
if (binder != null) {
bound = binder.setViewValue(v, data, text);
}
if (!bound) {
if (v instanceof ImageView) {
if (data instanceof Bitmap) {
setViewImage((ImageView) v, (Bitmap)data);
}
}
}
}
}
}
private void setViewImage(ImageView imageView, Bitmap bitmap) {
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
}
