ListView Auto Item Height

[johnthomcode]

I am sending variable length text to a listview. This results in multiple lines. I have tried setting the item height up front, but some have too much white space and some don't have enough. Can I automatically adjust this? Do I need another control (ScrollView)?

Thanks!

Not sure that it will work, but try the following code:

    lv.SingleLineLayout.ItemHeight = -2
    lv.SingleLineLayout.Label.Height = -2

Hi,

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately that didn't work out. Would this be easier to accomplish in another view (like a ScrollView)?

Thanks!

The other solution that I can think of is to convert your list to a Html table and show it with a WebView. This will work fine if you do not need to handle any events related to the list.

Hi,

Thanks for your help. I think I will stick with ListView for now, then. Do you anticipate the ability to respond to events in WebView in the future? Clicking on a link will trigger an event on Android?

Thanks!

This is a very good idea. It will be added to v1.50.

Wow! That's great news. If there's still time for another request, would it be possible to interact with links and submitted forms?

Thanks!

WebView now has a new event: OverrideUrl(Url As String) As Boolean
It gets called whenever the user presses on a link. If you return true from this event then you are "consuming" the link press and the WebView will not try to navigate to this link.

Submitted forms will not make it to this version. v1.5 will be released in a few days.

Erel ,

now there a way to have auto height listview?

No. You can however use CustomListView class instead.
