yes. Check this app:On click of Ok button, the list is created and items are added in it

but in your app list items are fixed, but i want to how to create a append a new item to a list at run time

Hello,

It's possible. You need to call RefreshList() function on your list with LIST_REFRESH_TYPE_ITEM_ADD as the second param. Of course, you also need to update your IListViewItemProvider accordingly as well. For example, if you want to add item at the end of the list you need to call something like this on your button press action:

__pList->RefreshList(__count - 1, LIST_REFRESH_TYPE_ITEM_ADD);

Also, IListViewItemProvider::GetItemCount() and IListViewItemProvider::CreateItem() should return appropriate values.

thanks for your suggestion ,
now i am able to items to the list at run time but the "items which are added dynamically are not persisting"
they are deleted when i restart my emulator is there any way to save the items 

harish kumar kavali

my actual problem is, i am able to create the list items at run item but all the items are taking same name ,i need to create the items with different name ,if i changed the item name the change is reflected to all the items but i should reflect only the newly created item

Hi,

Could you please provide code sample how/where you create items and I will try to figure out what is wrong.

Hi,

As I mentioned above you need to change methods inherited from IListViewItemProvider accordingly. Especially, you need to change GetItemCount() and CreateItem(). As we can see from your sample your implementation of the GetItemCount() always returns 3, but it should return actual number of items in the list including dynamically added items. So, if initially you had 3 items and then you have dynamically added 5 items then this function should return 3+5=8. The similar with CreateItem(). Your current implementation has only 2 cases for indexes 0 and 1. But if you actually have more than 2 items including dynamically added you need to change this method accordingly.

Hi thanks for your reply,
 but how to add the cases dynamically 
please help me it is very urgent.

Alex Ashirov

Hi,

Of course, you can’t extend the switch-case statement dynamically. You need to use something else (e.g. loop) This depends on your data-model and where and how you store list items. In general, you need to create and initialize with appropriate values CustomItem for each item you need in the list.
