Android: ClassCastException when adding a header view to ExpandableListView

Image
By User



I'm trying to add a header to an ExpandableListView like so:







headerView = View.inflate(this, R.layout.header, null);

expandableListView.addHeaderView(headerView);

expandableListView.setAdapter(new SectionedAdapter(this));







Which gives me the following error:







12-08 16:23:42.354: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(421): Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.LinearLayout$LayoutParams 12-08 16:23:42.354: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(421): at android.widget.ListView.clearRecycledState(ListView.java:504) 12-08 16:23:42.354: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(421): at android.widget.ListView.resetList(ListView.java:490) 12-08 16:23:42.354: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(421): at android.widget.ListView.setAdapter(ListView.java:422) 12-08 16:23:42.354: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(421): at android.widget.ExpandableListView.setAdapter(ExpandableListView.java:475)







This is happening at the call to expandableListView.setAdapter(new SectionedAdapter(this)) , but I can't figure out why. Any ideas?

    Ok, I figured this one out. I got rid of the runtime error by programatically setting the View's LayoutParams to ListView LayoutParams, like so:

    headerView.setLayoutParams(new ListView.LayoutParams(ListView.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, ListView.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));


    before adding the view. The reason being is found in the Android docs:

    http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#setLayoutParams(android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams)

    which states that:


    These supply parameters to the
    parent of this view specifying how it should be arranged. There are many
    subclasses of ViewGroup.LayoutParams,
    and these correspond to the different
    subclasses of ViewGroup that are
    responsible for arranging their
    children.


    So basically, if you are adding a view to another, you MUST set the LayoutParams of the view to the LayoutParams type that the parent uses, or you will get a runtime error.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
