setContentView(R.layout.second);
edit1=findViewById(R.id.name);
edit2=findViewById(R.id.desigination);
edit3=findViewById(R.id.post);
listView = findViewById(R.id.list_view);
button = findViewById(R.id.list_button);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
ArrayList<String> arryList = new ArrayList<String>();
arryList.add(edit1.getText().toString());
arryList.add(edit2.getText().toString());
arryList.add(edit3.getText().toString());
ArrayAdapter list = new ArrayAdapter(secondActivity.this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,arryList);
listView.setAdapter(list);
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
Toast.makeText(secondActivity.this, "hello "+ position, LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}
});
}
No error comming just its hsowing my list in vertically and i want it in a same line and want to add as many as items in list at same time its not working only i am able to add it for one time

Answer 1

You can use the HorizontalListView or add orientation property to the ListView or RecyclerView instead of ArrayList,

Answer 2

You can use this model of code to add item to listview any time :
public class MyListView extends ListActivity {
ArrayList<String> listItems = new ArrayList<String>();
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
int myCounter = 0;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
listItems);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
//METHOD WHICH WILL HANDLE DYNAMIC INSERTION
public void addItemsToList(View v) {
listItems.add("Clicked : " + MyCounter++);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/addBtn"
android:text="Add New Item"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="addItemsToList"/>
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"
/>
</LinearLayout>
And also you can use HorizontalListView for add item horizontally to list
