Hi all,
In this code i am facing problem to setSelection the list item at position 1. So when the activity starts up i need to get the focus of the list item at position 1.

Using java Syntax Highlighting

public class GroupList extends ListActivity {
 
                                   public static List<String> groupName = new ArrayList<String>(); 
 
                                          public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 
                                                 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 
                                                  ArrayAdapter <String> fileList = new ArrayAdapter<String>    (this,R.layout.grouplist,groupName);      
 
                                              setListAdapter(fileList);      
 
                                               }
 
                             public void onStart() {
 
                                        super.onStart();
 
                                         this.setSelection(1); //Problem....
 
                                }
 
              }

Just a quick guess: no items in your list?

Hi thanks for the reply...

In my other class as the variable is static i am adding elements into the list. And after adding items in this list i am
starting this activity.. So items are there in the list....

Thanks in advance...

HI,

I am able to setselection through the following...

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
 
          {
 
        this.setSelection(1);
 
        return true;

What happens when you move the trackball up/down after the list opens? Maybe you just cant see the selection because the list doesnt have the focus?

Hi nmc ... thanks for the reply..

I have around 8 items in my list.. When the activity starts the list does not have focus. When i press down key twice then the focus comes to the first item on the list.. An activity is called when an item on the list is clicked and when "back" button is pressed on the same activity, focus should be on the same item that was selected...

Thanks in advance...

Looks like onStart() is called too early then.
Maybe try onResume() instead?
Try requestFocus() befor setSelection()?
