Custom Adapter instead of Array Adapter?

Hi,

I’ve created a custom adapter to use with my object rather than the simple ArrayAdapter since I need some extra fields, however, not all of my custom fields are showing up on the swipecard.

With the following code the title, company name and description fields are correctly populated onto my card but not the others, even though the fields are there. No errors from the debugger and everything works fine but they just don’t show up!!! What am I missing?

Here is what I am doing in my activity:

At the top of the activity: @InjectView(R.id.frame) SwipeFlingAdapterView flingContainer;

In my AsyncTask:

arrayAdapter = new JobAdapter(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.jobcard, result);
flingContainer.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);

Yes: the result ArrayList is populated with values.

My adapter:

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View row = convertView;
        ViewHolder holder = null;

        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService((Activity.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE));

        if (row == null) {
            row = inflater.inflate(layoutResourceId, parent, false);
            //row = inflater.inflate(layoutResourceId, null);

            holder = new ViewHolder();
            holder.title = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tv_jobTitle);
            holder.payrate = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tv_payRate);
            holder.startdate = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tv_startDate);
            holder.workinghrs = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tv_duration);
            holder.location = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tv_location);
            holder.companyname = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tv_companyName);
            holder.description = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tv_JobDesc);
            holder.equipment = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tv_equipmentReq);
            holder.experience = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tv_experienceReq);

            row.setTag(holder);
        } else {
            holder = (ViewHolder)row.getTag();
        }

        Job j = jobs.get(0);

        holder.title.setText(j.getJobTitle());
        holder.payrate.setText(j.getPayrate());
        holder.startdate.setText(j.getDurationStart());
        holder.workinghrs.setText(j.getWorkingHrs());
        holder.location.setText(j.getLocation());
        holder.companyname.setText("ABC Company");
        holder.description.setText(j.getDescription());
        holder.equipment.setText("Hardhat");
        holder.experience.setText("3-5 years");

        return row;
    }
    static class ViewHolder
    {
        TextView title;
        TextView payrate;
        TextView startdate;
        TextView workinghrs;
        TextView location;
        TextView companyname;
        TextView description;
        TextView equipment;
        TextView experience;
    }

And finally, my jobcard.xml layout:

Thanks for the help!

@alexwalterbos well I figured it out and I feel like an idiot haha. Turns out I didn’t define a text color in my xml file so the fields were being populated but with white text so I couldn’t see the values. After changing the color, the adapter works fine 😃. Thanks for the help!

Haha it happens to the best. No problem!
