Implement a photo bar using android.widget.Gallery, with custom BaseAdapter, and custom object.


Implement a photo bar using android.widget.Gallery, with custom BaseAdapter, and custom object.

In this example, I will implement a photo bar using android.widget.Gallery.

a photo bar using android.widget.Gallery, with custom BaseAdapter, and custom object.

We will implement MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter, it hold a ArrayList of our custom object ImageItem. In the constructor of MyAdapter, an empty ArrayList of ImageItem will be new. And a method addImageItem is implemented to add new items into the ArrayList.

insertDummyImageItem(3) is a dummy method to add new items into the ArrayList of MyAdapter. As a example, all items have the same bitmap - R.drawable.icon. After items inserted, we have to call notifyDataSetChanged() of the MyAdapter to update the photo bar.

In such a approach, we can add new item on runtime. We will do more on coming post "Update BaseAdapter in backgrond Thread, to insert Gallery items in run-time.".
