ListView modifying views

[thedesolatesoul]

Hello,
I know I am doing something unorthodox here, (but what can I do I cannot get rid of this idea from my head!)

I was thinking if there is some way of modifying a listview to add a checkbox in there (and toggle whether it is shown or not)...however I failed at the first hurdle.

I cannot remove a label from the listview

customlv.TwoLinesAndBitmap.Label.RemoveView

I know people will suggest me to use a scrollview etc (i will end up doing that eventually)...but I just to know if it is possible to replace one label with a checkbox...with a quick and dirty hack.

Here is the entry in the SDK docs: TwoLineListItem | Android Developers

It says, and I quote:

Android supplies a standard layout resource for TwoLineListView (which does not include a selected item icon), but you can design your own custom XML layout for this object.

...and so I stumbled on: R.layout | Android Developers

...wondering if I can replace:

public static final int two_line_list_item
Since: API Level 1

Constant Value: 17367053 (0x0109000d)

with:

public static final int simple_selectable_list_item
Since: API Level 11

A simple ListView item layout which can contain text and support (single or multiple) item selection.
Constant Value: 17367061 (0x01090015)

Or even:

public static final int simple_list_item_checked
Since: API Level 1

Constant Value: 17367045 (0x01090005)

Or:

public static final int simple_expandable_list_item_1
Since: API Level 1

Constant Value: 17367046 (0x01090006)

I have looked at the ListViewWrapper and understand nothing! But I do think that the wrapper is not using these layouts and creating them in the wrapper.

...so I do not think this will work. But I thought I should throw it out there :sign0163:

You will not be able to use these resources.

Note that you can hide the label by setting its visibility to false.

Thanks Erel.
I thought it was worth a shot (in the dark!)
I've been using a lot of scrollviews recently...I should probably great a generalised version.
