Android Question Edit Cell Content in TableView like a spreadsheet

[kokoroayo]

Hi all,

Kindly help me out with solving this issue.

Im trying out an app where i can load some data into a table and be able to edit the said data and save back to my database.

I need a guide on this please.

Im new to B4A and Android programming but i've been following things on this site for some time now. I have searched the forum but couldnt find anything.

In visual basic this can achieved using the FlexGrid control.

Thank you.

How large is the data set? How many cells?

 

[kokoroayo]

Not Large at all. 4 Columns. Only the rows can grow from time to time. It cant be more than 20 in all.

The first cell is loaded from database as Disease names and the other columns allows the user to capture information relating to each disease on the corresponding row. I tried to use the Custom list view. It worked as expected but my fear is that it presents a replication of EditText boxes which i fear may draw too much resources. So I feel doing it the Spreadsheet way may reduce demand on resources.

You should use CustomListView. It can easily show 1000+ views (in your case there are about 80).

Thank you Erel. Like I said in my earlier post, I tried the CustomListView and it did a great job. My only fear is how much resources it will draw if the list grows. Hope my fear will not be realised. Thanks all once again.

Placing 100 editfields in a layout will not earn much resources...
