POAndroid - SeparatedListAdapter - How to get accurate item position on onClick?
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm using Sharkey's SeparatedListAdapter class in order to have a ListView that is separated by sections.</p> <p>The class works great, but the problem I'm having is in my <code>onListItemClick()</code> handler. If I have the following sectioned list:</p> <pre><code>--------- | A | --------- | Alex | | Allan | --------- | B | --------- | Barry | | Bart | | Billy | | Brian | --------- | C | --------- etc... </code></pre> <p>When you want to click on an item in the list, you get the <code>position</code> of the item and then do something with it.</p> <p>In my case, my list is a dynamic list of people's names. The names come from a database that is put into a <code>List<CustomClass></code> before going into list. It's important for me to know the position of the item that I click on because I use the item <code>position</code> to determine other information about the person in the List object.</p> <p>Now, the problem is this: When you click an item in the list, the headers count as items, even though they are unclickable. In the above example, the positions in the list are as follows</p> <pre><code>Alex = 1 Allan = 2 Barry = 4 Bart = 5 Billy = 6 Brian = 7 </code></pre> <p>But in my original <code>List</code> object the order is like so</p> <pre><code>Alex = 0 Allan = 1 Barry = 2 Bart = 3 Billy = 4 Brian = 5 </code></pre> <p>So whenever I click on an item, like Alex, my code runs the <code>onClick</code> handler, determines that Alex is at position <code>1</code> in the and then retrieves Allans info from the <code>List</code> instead of Alex's.</p> <p>Do you see the delima here? What is the approach I should take to this problem?</p>
