@akim_akim

can it be fixed?

Yes. It’s a bug I think. It will be fixed in next update. Thanks for reporting it.

@Anthony007

I refresh the list, the data doubles

Can you post your blocks here? Make sure to clear the list view on refresh as @akim_akim posted and clear you list variables too.

[Sarmad_Khan]

Is there a way to load more content when list reached the bottom? Like load 20 more items from the list. I cant find a way to trigger something when list reached bottom.

There is no way to detect list’s scrolling offset. Some scrolling events and method are added and will be released soon as the new version ready.

Version 4

Version 4 of the extension is here.

What’s New

• Rectangular and rounded image with any corners value with any side.
• Scrolling Events has been added.
• Now you can add item from a list directly no need to run loops in blocks.

Bug Fixed

• Click events returning wrong position while moved. Its fixed now.
• Add Item At block crashing the APK is now fixed.
• Designer Properties was not working is now fixed. Now you wont need to set the properties with blocks.

Blocks Added

This event raises when the list scrolls. Return the vertical offset of the list.

This event raises when the list scrolled to top. Returns the vertical offset obviously always 0.

This event raises when the list scrolled to bottom. Returns the vertical offset. This can help you to load data with limits from your database.

This block add the items from the list variables directly. No need to use loops for lists. But all list’s length must be same and non-null otherwise it will throw an error.

Set the corner radius of the images. This can help you make image in any shape almost like circle, rounded, rectangle and one corner rounded.

Hi,

Here’s my project main menu using your extensions.
It’s coming from database , and I love it.
I’d like to make it expandable ( expand collapse )

I already posted above about it.

[FREE] Custom List View - An Extension for making Image and text list view with a lot of customization

This extension is for showing title and subtitle list. There is no need of expanding items I think. You should go with custom views to achieve it. Thank You !

And, I will think about it if more peoples are interested in it.

@iamwsumit

Scrolling Events has been added.

Thank you. Exactly this was needed

Hi.
I’am using your CustomListView . Compliments for your job.
I’m having troubles… the App with you extension runs fine whit the AI Companion App on my Android SAMSUNG Galaxy S10+. But, when I generate the .apk and install the app on the phone, the app crashes as soon I start it. If I delete your extension from the project the app runs without problems. As soon as I reimport your extension in the project… crash!
Have you suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

[iamwsumit (Sumit Kumar)]

Hi @rconsalvi , Welcome to the Community.

Your post is not enough to solve your issue.

@rconsalvi

the App with you extension runs fine whit the AI Companion App

Make sure you are using version > 2.

@iamwsumit

Only version 3 will work in AI2. Another 2 versions would not work and will crash the APK.

I could not tell you any exact reason of the crash as I already said that it does not work with AI2 completely. There are some features that dont work with AI2. You can read here about that :

Hi @Star_DZ Extension was not working in App Inventor due to some Designer Property issue. I have fixed it and updated the above downloading links. But, the extension will still not work at all in App Inventor. It can do all the job except dragging and swiping the items. If you enabled these properties then you will face a failed resolution error in companion and will crash your APK. This error comes because of library resources that are not compiled in extension. Currently App Inventor does no…

As I cant reply to Kumar’s topic (I’m a new user, posted a reply, wanted to edit, failed, deleted and now can’t reply anymore), I post my question here; At the mods: Please merge if possible, thank you!

@Sumit1334
This is almost exactly what I was looking for so long time, thank you so much my hero! Excellent work!!

Only one little thing is missing that would make my dreams come true - would it be possible to have a button instead or additional to the checkbox?
I would be more than happy!
If you can give me the ExtraButton instead of the checkbox, I will donate you!

Once again, thank you for your great extension!

EDIT:
I tried your extension and as I said, almost perfect for my needs!

For testing, I tried it with the checkbox, but it doesn’t display correctly, please see below. I’m missing something? Anyway, I beg you on my knees, please add the ExtraButton, thank you!!!

[saddam_horti786 (Saddam Husain)]

how to remove check box and add button to it

[akim_akim]

why a button, the entire entry is the button.
including click event

[saddam_horti786 (Saddam Husain)]

Want to remove check box and add read more button

[consti (Constantin Hagen)]

Seems like you didn’t get it. An extra button is needed for extra functionality, not for selecting or opening the list element

[Connectappcreator (Connect App)]

Hello Friend . Great job. As I would like to be helping with donations to yours and many other work of fellow developers, but I don’t have international card and I believe many colleagues have the same problem, so I can’t pay with paypal. They could make an app for donations through google play, using the billing app. greetings !!

VERSION 4.1 - First Review

Intro:
I was using ColinTree ListView for displaying my list items, but I had huge performance and also compatibility issues when loading more than some hundred items into the list.
Looking for an alternative, I found Sumit Kumars’ ListView extension here, but it was missing the functionality to have an ExtraButton/ExtraImage. I contacted Sumit and he helped me out with a modified version (4.1) of his extension.

Test Szenario:
I use Sumits’ list for my indoor bouldering App. At the moment, we have around 450 list items; with ColinTreeListView, I had performance issues with less than 300 items, and on slower devices, even that was too much. For testing, I filled my App’s list up with 5000 elements. And I’m just fascinated, Sumits’ ListView ist still performing incredibly fast. I think there is absolutely no perfomance loss compared to Recycler View. The ExtraButton (Image) works as designed and as needed, great!

Summary:
Best ListView available - in my opinion. There are alternatives with Dynamic Components etc., they might be even more flexible and customizable, but regarding performance, for big lists, Sumits’ ListView is just perfect!

Only one little thing is missing: As I’m bound to AI2, I can’t use the animations, so there is no optical feedback to the user when he clicks something on the list. @iamwsumit Maybe you can find a workaround for this, would be optional but would make it just perfect. Thank you!

Nothing left to say than: Thank you Sumit, great work!!

[saddam_horti786 (Saddam Husain)]

I also need this modified version when it will be 4.1 version available ???

[consti (Constantin Hagen)]

@saddam_horti786

when it will be 4.1 version available ???

Maybe it would help when donating, in order to help Sumit to finalize the version I did, despite not being rich and I think every one who needs this extension should do, too.

[saddam_horti786 (Saddam Husain)]

Yes i will do donation
