# SimpleAdapter

*** ** * ** ***

` public class SimpleAdapter `   
` ` ` extends https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/BaseAdapter ` ` implements https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Filterable, https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ThemedSpinnerAdapter `

<br />

*** ** * ** ***

An easy adapter to map static data to views defined in an XML file. You can specify the data backing the list as an ArrayList of Maps. Each entry in the ArrayList corresponds to one row in the list. The Maps contain the data for each row. You also specify an XML file that defines the views used to display the row, and a mapping from keys in the Map to specific views. Binding data to views occurs in two phases. First, if a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/SimpleAdapter.ViewBinder` is available, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/SimpleAdapter.ViewBinder#setViewValue(android.view.View,%20java.lang.Object,%20java.lang.String)` is invoked. If the returned value is true, binding has occurred. If the returned value is false, the following views are then tried in order:

- A view that implements Checkable (e.g. CheckBox). The expected bind value is a boolean.
- TextView. The expected bind value is a string and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/SimpleAdapter#setViewText(android.widget.TextView,%20java.lang.String)` is invoked.
- ImageView. The expected bind value is a resource id or a string and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/SimpleAdapter#setViewImage(android.widget.ImageView,%20int)` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/SimpleAdapter#setViewImage(android.widget.ImageView,%20java.lang.String)` is invoked.

If no appropriate binding can be found, an `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalStateException` is thrown.

```
public View getView (int position, 
                View convertView, 
                ViewGroup parent)
```

Get a View that displays the data at the specified position in the data set. You can either create a View manually or inflate it from an XML layout file. When the View is inflated, the parent View (GridView, ListView...) will apply default layout parameters unless you use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/LayoutInflater#inflate(int,%20android.view.ViewGroup,%20boolean)` to specify a root view and to prevent attachment to the root.

| `convertView` | `View`: The old view to reuse, if possible. Note: You should check that this view is non-null and of an appropriate type before using. If it is not possible to convert this view to display the correct data, this method can create a new view. Heterogeneous lists can specify their number of view types, so that this View is always of the right type (see `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/BaseAdapter#getViewTypeCount()` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/BaseAdapter#getItemViewType(int)`). <br /> |
| `parent` | `ViewGroup`: The parent that this view will eventually be attached to <br /> |

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `theme` | `Resources.Theme`: the theme against which to inflate drop-down views or `null` to use the theme from the adapter's context <br /> |
