Android Listview with Listview item - android-listview

Question

I am trying to create a ListView where each item contains a TextItem and a ListView (dynamic length) but for some reason only one item is shown in the inner ListView. Is this something that is not possible or am I doing something wrong?
Here is my layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/outerListId"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
Inner list item:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Profile Name"
android:id="#+id/nameId"/>
<ListView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/innerListId"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Code:
public class ListAllActivity extends Activity {
protected class MyListItem {
public String name;
public List<String> items;
public MyListItem(String name) {
this.name = name;
this.items = items();
}
public List<String> items() {
ArrayList<String> strings = new ArrayList<String>();
strings.add("item1");
strings.add("item2");
return strings;
}
}
public class CustomListViewAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<MyListItem> {
Context context;
public CustomListViewAdapter(Context context, int resourceId, List<MyListItem> items) {
super(context, resourceId, items);
this.context = context;
}
private class ViewHolder {
TextView nameText;
ListView myList;
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder = null;
MyListItem rowItem = getItem(position);
LayoutInflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Activity.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.profile_exercises_list_item, null);
holder = new ViewHolder();
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
holder.nameText = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.profileNameListItemId);
holder.myList = (ListView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.innerListId);
List<String> items = rowItem.items();
holder.nameText.setText(rowItem.name);
ArrayAdapter<String> myarrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(convertView.getContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, items);
holder.myList.setAdapter(myarrayAdapter);
holder.myList.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
return convertView;
}
}
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.mylayout);
ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.outerListId);
ArrayList<MyListItem> allItems = new ArrayList<MyListItem>();
allItems.add(new MyListItem("name1"));
allItems.add(new MyListItem("name2"));
CustomListViewAdapter all = new CustomListViewAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, allItems);
listView.setAdapter(all);
listView.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
}
}

Instead of using Nested ListViews, you can use Expandable ListView.
Here are some useful links for playing with expandable ListView.
