android - My custom CursorAdapter does not display the items -

i using custom cursoradapter , have values in db problem values not displaying in custom listview. searched in not find answer.

by debugging found out 2 methods in cursor adapter bindview() , newview() not executing constructor executing.i not sure happening overall. question why listview items not getting displayed ?

here code , posting relevant code if there additional code needed please comment edit accordingly.

@override protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {     super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);     setcontentview(r.layout.activity_main);     //a listview object     notesview = (listview)findviewbyid(r.id.listview);     //an object of sqliteopenhelper class     dbhelper = new databasehelper(this);      //cursor object     passcursor = dbhelper.fetchallnotes();     // custom cursor adapter class object     datacursor = new customcursor(this,passcursor);     notesview.setadapter(datacursor);     notesview.setonitemclicklistener(this);     bar = (toolbar)findviewbyid(r.id.toolbar);     setsupportactionbar(bar); } 

here cursoradapter source code:

public class customcursor extends cursoradapter {     private static final string note_title = "title";     private static final string record_id = "_id";     private static final string record_date = "date";     private static final string delete_flag="deleteflag";     layoutinflater inflater;     textview tv, recordid, dateet;     linearlayout ll;     string gettext, existsrecordid;     long datevalue;     simpledateformat dateformatter;     string listviewheight;     context cont;     int getdeleteflag;     string listheightvalue;     linearlayout.layoutparams params;     cursor getcursor;      customcursor(context context, cursor c) {         super(context, c, 0);         cont= context;         getcursor= c;         //inflater = layoutinflater.from(context);         inflater = (layoutinflater) context.getsystemservice(context.layout_inflater_service);         dateformatter = new simpledateformat("dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm");     }       @override     public view newview(context context, cursor cursor, viewgroup parent) {         return inflater.inflate(r.layout.customlistview, parent, false);     }      @override     public void bindview(view view, context context, cursor cursor) {         getdeleteflag = cursor.getint(cursor.getcolumnindex(delete_flag));         ll = (linearlayout)view.findviewbyid(r.id.listviewlayout);         setlistviewheight(ll,context);         gettext = cursor.getstring(cursor.getcolumnindex(note_title));         existsrecordid = cursor.getstring(cursor.getcolumnindex(record_id));         datevalue = cursor.getlong(cursor.getcolumnindex(record_date));         date newdate = new date(datevalue);         recordid = (textview) view.findviewbyid(r.id.recordid);         tv = (textview) view.findviewbyid(r.id.content);         dateet = (textview) view.findviewbyid(r.id.date);         tv.settext(gettext.trim());         recordid.settext(existsrecordid);         dateet.settext(dateformatter.format(newdate));     }  }

code method setlistviewheight()

private void setlistviewheight(linearlayout ll, context con) {          sharedpreferences sp = preferencemanager.getdefaultsharedpreferences(con);          listheightvalue  = sp.getstring(con.getresources().getstring(r.string.listviewheightkey),constants.default_value_listview_height);           switch (listheightvalue)         {              case "tiny":                 params = new linearlayout.layoutparams(linearlayout.layoutparams.match_parent,200);                 ll.setlayoutparams(params);                  break;              case "medium":                params = new linearlayout.layoutparams(linearlayout.layoutparams.match_parent,220);                 ll.setlayoutparams(params);                  break;              case "large":                 params = new linearlayout.layoutparams(linearlayout.layoutparams.match_parent,250);                 ll.setlayoutparams(params);                  break;             default:                 params = new linearlayout.layoutparams(linearlayout.layoutparams.match_parent,150);                 ll.setlayoutparams(params);          }         } 

the problem haven't set orientation of linearlayout in main layout, defaults horizontal.

this means listview placed next toolbar, width of toolbar set match_parent, there no room left listview.

add following attribute linearlayout in activity_main.xml, listview placed below toolbar:

android:orientation="vertical" 

also, following call might need removed bindview():

setlistviewheight(ll,context); 

the height of listview set in xml, call might mess (i can assume, since haven't posted implementation of setlistviewheight()).
