Saving state of a listview?

[Ricky D]

I have a listview on one of my activities and I'd like to save it's state when the activity pauses.

I can use

StateManager.SetSetting("lvaddmenuitems", lvAddMenuItems)

to save the listview but how do I retrieve it?

this

      If StateManager.GetSetting("lvaddmenuitems")<>"" Then lvAddMenuItems = StateManager.GetSetting("lvaddmenuitems")

causes a compile error of incompatible types - string and listview.

How can I persist a listview? This code is used for when the activity is paused and restarted like when orientation changes.

I'm puzzled.

regards, Ricky

I guess there's no way to do this

I guess you've looked here : http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...id-applications-settings-state.html#post54161

Are you using a single line, two lines & bitmap, etc?

@eps I'm using statemanager and it doesn't handle listviews

@margret I'm using single line

Wouldn't it be possible for you to use files for the listviews?
File.WriteList and File.SaveList are great for saving lists. You can save them to files names temp1.txt, temp2.txt and so on depending on how many lists you got, and then on application exit you just remove the temp files.

I'll have a look at that - looks interesting indeed. Thanks
