ArrayAdapter Class

Definition

You can use this adapter to provide views for an AdapterView, Returns a view for each object in a collection of data objects you provide, and can be used with list-based user interface widgets such as ListView or Spinner.

Remarks

You can use this adapter to provide views for an AdapterView, Returns a view for each object in a collection of data objects you provide, and can be used with list-based user interface widgets such as ListView or Spinner.

By default, the array adapter creates a view by calling Object#toString() on each data object in the collection you provide, and places the result in a TextView. You may also customize what type of view is used for the data object in the collection. To customize what type of view is used for the data object, override #getView(int, View, ViewGroup) and inflate a view resource.

For an example of using an array adapter with a ListView, see the Adapter Views guide.

For an example of using an array adapter with a Spinner, see the Spinners guide.

<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> If you are considering using array adapter with a ListView, consider using androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView instead. RecyclerView offers similar features with better performance and more flexibility than ListView provides. See the Recycler View guide.</p>
