Getting wrong position in custom ListView while scrolling - xamarin

Question

I am getting wrong position in custom ListView while scrolling.
I have tried the ViewHolder pattern and an ArrayAdapter but both giving the same problem.
If I reproduce the code using Java then I am getting the proper position while scrolling.
So is it Xamarin architecture bug ?
Below is my sample code:
Activity Class
namespace ArrayAdapterDemoApp
{
[Activity(Label = "ArrayAdapterDemoApp", MainLauncher = true,
Icon ="#drawable/icon")]
public class MainActivity : Activity
{
private static List<DataBean> _ItemsList = new List<DataBean>();
private static CustomAdapter _adapter;
private ListView _listview;
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);
// Get our button from the layout resource,
// and attach an event to it
_listview = FindViewById<ListView>(Resource.Id.mylist);
DataBean obj1 = new DataBean();
obj1.Name = "AA";
obj1.City = "11";
_ItemsList.Add(obj1);
DataBean obj2 = new DataBean();
obj2.Name = "BB";
obj2.City = "22";
_ItemsList.Add(obj2);
DataBean obj3 = new DataBean();
obj3.Name = "CC";
obj3.City = "33";
_ItemsList.Add(obj3);
...
DataBean obj15 = new DataBean();
obj15.Name = "OO";
obj15.City = "1010";
_ItemsList.Add(obj15);
_adapter = new CustomAdapter(this, _ItemsList);
_listview.Adapter = _adapter;
}
}
}
Custom Adapter
namespace ArrayAdapterDemoApp
{
public class CustomAdapter : ArrayAdapter<DataBean>
{
private class TaskViewHolder : Java.Lang.Object
{
public TextView tvName;
public TextView tvCity;
}
List<DataBean> listData;
Activity _context;
int _position;
public CustomAdapter(Activity context, List<DataBean> dataList)
: base(context, Resource.Layout.adapter_row, dataList)
{
this._context = context;
this.listData = dataList;
}
public override long GetItemId(int position)
{
return position;
}
public override int Count
{
get { return listData.Count; }
}
//With View Holder
public override View GetView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
DataBean data = listData[position];
TaskViewHolder viewHolder= null; // view lookup cache stored in tag
if (convertView == null)
{
viewHolder = new TaskViewHolder();
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.From(_context);
convertView = inflater.Inflate(Resource.Layout.adapter_row, parent, false);
viewHolder.tvName = convertView.FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.text1);
viewHolder.tvCity = convertView.FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.text2);
convertView.Tag = viewHolder;
}
if(viewHolder==null)
{
viewHolder = (TaskViewHolder)convertView.Tag;
}
viewHolder.tvName.Text = data.Name;
viewHolder.tvCity.Text = data.City;
return convertView;
}
}
}
DataBean Class
namespace ArrayAdapterDemoApp
{
public class DataBean
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
}
}

Answer 1

I had also same issue so I resolved it by just Tag the position to the view.for example.
//iv_delete is a imageview
holder.iv_delete.Tag = position;
and get the position from the Tag
For me it was like that
int finalPosition = (Integer)holder.iv_delete.Tag.IntValue();
Enjoy!!!!!

Add in your adapter class this method:
public DataBean GetItemAtPosition(int position)
{
return this.listData[position];
}

Answer 3

You can tag the position of each row to the control to get the correct position or
Another method is by using action event binding to each view row. This also solves duplicate method call issue.
