Layouting

Column Count

The provided TableView is very easy to adapt to your needs. To set the column count simple set the parameter inside your XML layout.

<de.codecrafters.tableview.TableView
    xmlns:table="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/tableView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    table:tableView_columnCount="4" />

A second possibility to define the column count of your TableView is to set it directly in the code.

TableView tableView = (TableView) findViewById(R.id.tableView);
tableView.setColumnCount(4);

Column Width

To define the column widths you can set a TableColumnModel that defines the width for each column. You can use a predefined TableColumnModel or implement your custom one.

TableColumnWeightModel
This model defines the column widths in a relative manner. You can define a weight for each column index. The default column weight is 1.

TableColumnWeightModel columnModel = new TableColumnWeightModel(4);
columnModel.setColumnWeight(1, 2);
columnModel.setColumnWeight(2, 2);
tableView.setColumnModel(columnModel);

TableColumnDpWidthModel
This model defines the column widths in a absolute manner. You can define a width in density-independent pixels for each column index. The default column width is 100dp. You can pass a different default to the constructor.

TableColumnDpWidthModel columnModel = new TableColumnDpWidthModel(context, 4, 200);
columnModel.setColumnWidth(1, 300);
columnModel.setColumnWidth(2, 250);
tableView.setColumnModel(columnModel);

TableColumnPxWidthModel
This model defines the column widths in a absolute manner. You can define a width in pixels for each column index. The default column width is 200px. You can pass a different default to the constructor.

TableColumnPxWidthModel columnModel = new TableColumnPxWidthModel(4, 350);
columnModel.setColumnWidth(1, 500);
columnModel.setColumnWidth(2, 600);
tableView.setColumnModel(columnModel);

Showing Data

Simple Data

For displaying simple data like a 2D-String-Array you can use the SimpleTableDataAdapter. The SimpleTableDataAdapter will turn the given Strings to TextViews and display them inside the TableView at the same position as previous in the 2D-String-Array.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    
    private static final String[][] DATA_TO_SHOW = { { "This", "is", "a", "test" }, 
                                                     { "and", "a", "second", "test" } };
        
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        TableView<String[]> tableView = (TableView<String[]>) findViewById(R.id.tableView);
        tableView.setDataAdapter(new SimpleTableDataAdapter(this, DATA_TO_SHOW));
    }
}        

Custom Data

For displaying more complex custom data you need to implement your own TableDataAdapter. Therefore you need to implement the getCellView(int rowIndex, int columnIndex, ViewGroup parentView) method. This method is called for every table cell and needs to returned the View that shall be displayed in the cell with the given rowIndex and columnIndex. Here is an example of an TableDataAdapter for a Car object.

public class CarTableDataAdapter extends TableDataAdapter<Car> {

    public CarTableDataAdapter(Context context, List<Car> data) {
        super(context, data);
    }

    @Override
    public View getCellView(int rowIndex, int columnIndex, ViewGroup parentView) {
        Car car = getRowData(rowIndex);
        View renderedView = null;

        switch (columnIndex) {
            case 0:
                renderedView = renderProducerLogo(car);
                break;
            case 1:
                renderedView = renderCatName(car);
                break;
            case 2:
                renderedView = renderPower(car);
                break;
            case 3:
                renderedView = renderPrice(car);
                break;
        }

        return renderedView;
    }
    
}

The TableDataAdapter provides several easy access methods you need to render your cell views like:

• getRowData()
• getContext()
• getLayoutInflater()
• getResources()

Sortable Data

If you need to make your data sortable, you should use the SortableTableView instead of the ordinary TableView. To make a table sortable by a column, all you need to do is to implement a Comparator and set it to the specific column.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    // ...
    sortableTableView.setColumnComparator(0, new CarProducerComparator());
}

private static class CarProducerComparator implements Comparator<Car> {
    @Override
    public int compare(Car car1, Car car2) {
        return car1.getProducer().getName().compare
