ListView in android for dynamic data - refresh

how to refresh List View dynamic data content in android?
I tried loading dynamic data for the List View in android application but no luck .Any advice how to accomplish this?

Call notifyDataSetChanged() on your Adapter object once you've modified the data in that adapter.
Some additional specifics on how/when to call notifyDataSetChanged() can be viewed in this Google I/O video.
Or else Look at this link.it may helpful.

The right thing to do is to call notifyDataSetChanged() on your Adapter.
Troubleshooting
If calling notifyDataSetChanged() doesn't work all the layout methods won't help either. Believe me the list view was properly updated. If you fail to find the difference you need to check where the data in your adapter comes from.
If this is just a collection you're keeping in memory check that you actually deleted the item from the collection before calling the notifyDataSetChanged().
If you're working with a database or service backend you'll have to call the method to retrieve the information again (or manipulate the in memory data) before calling the notifyDataSetChanged().
The thing is this notifyDataSetChanged only works if the dataset has changed. So that is the place to look if you don't find changes coming through. Debug if needed.
UI Thread
It is true that this has to be called from the UI thread. Other answers have examples on how to achieve this. However this is only required if you're working on this information from outside the UI thread. That is from a service or a non UI thread. In simple cases you'll be updating your data from a button click or another activity/fragment. So still within the UI thread. No need to always pop that runOnUiTrhead in.

Qt/QML: Delay window rendering until data is available

I am building an application using Qt/QML. The QML of my main window is very complex and depends on lots of data which must be loaded via HTTP and then be processed by a C++ backend before it is ready to be displayed.
The C++ backend provides a signal which is fired when the data is ready. Until then, I want the window to be empty except for a simple loading indicator being displayed. Of course, I could use a simple overlay which hides my actual interface until the data is available, but this would mean that the QML code of my actual user interface is already loaded and tries to access the not-yet-available data, which is causing a lot of errors, so I would need to add dozens of dummy values and NOTIFY signals for each single property which might not yet be available.
What is the best way to completely deactivate a portion of QML code and to enable it as soon as a signal is triggered?
My personal experience is to not give data to your view components, don't bind them. For example, set your text value to an empty string or don't set it, set your image component source to an empty string or don't set it at first. When your signal comes in with data ready, you assign the data to the views at that time.

How to save layout settings of MFC application?

I understand there are functions that can easily write windows registry, however I found out that in new MFC project created with wizard, some information (like split bar position, visibility of controls) gets stored automatically (or at least I found no CWinApp::Write* calls in the project). Since I have also older projects that don't have this behaviour I need to figure out how to make this without help of project wizard. Would anyone please know how does this work?
The MFC control state saving magic happens in the 'New' MFC Feature Pack, specifically in the SaveState methods, for example CMFCToolBar::SaveState.
To take advantage of this you'll therefore need to upgrade your Toolbars and Menus to use the newer controls and upgrade your application to inherit from CWinAppEx. I recommend that you use a New MFC Wizard based app as a guide on how to upgrade your old MFC app.
Most of the information is saved in CPane::SaveState(), thus if you want state of some component saved, you need to use classes derived from CPane. (for more info here is the class hierarchy).
The process of saving window states is initiated through CFrameImpl::OnClosingMainFrame(). This function in turn calls CWinAppEx::SaveState() which saves some application settings and then ALL instances of CMFCToolBar (they add themselves to global list of CMFCToolBars in call to OnCreate). In a similar way all dockable panes are saved but the list belongs to your main frame. Then positioin and size of your main frame is saved.
CViews and CFrameWnds are somewhat less favored, for what I found and tried out, the only information saved was visibility.
I used that loooong time ago. If I correctly reminds it, you should save the informations you want in a overridden CWinApp::ExitInstance() before calling base class method, and you load them in CWinApp::InitInstance. Be sure to allow for default values, because at first run, there will be nothing to load, and do not forget to call (or copy) base class.

ActiveX Property Persistance

I have a question about an ActiveX Control I am developing. I have hashed my way through most problems but I am stuck at a real road block. This ActiveX is being imorted into other software so I have to have a good implementation of the Property Pages. I have managed to get some persistant properties working with one issue. When I make a change in the property page it is updated and persists as long as the application that is development app that is using it is open but it reverts back when I reload the app. I have narrowed this down to the fact that the development app doesnt realize the ActiveX has changed and therfore doesnt save. If i make a unrelated change and save the program all is good and the values persist as expected. I have tried everything and cant seem t get the application that imports my ActiveX to realize when it has changed via the property page. I am wondering if anyone has some work arounds for this type of problem. It seems to me if I could force the DoPropExchange() it would work but I dont know how to call this explicitly.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the input. I did have the SetModifiedFlag() but it wasnt working. After poking at it I solved that problem but now I am redirecting my question. I had removed the property above in question from the idl files dispinterface in order to prevent the application that loads the activex from displaying the property in its "Connection List"(3rd party application specific"). It appears that the app loads all the interface into this list but this is not good as some properties should be persistant and only modifiable through the proppages. I tried all the flags like hidden and local but still were displayed in the list. When I removed it from the dispinterface it was how I wanted it but would not signal the IsModified. My new question is in there another way to define properties for an instance like this or is it possible to have a secondary interface(I have not tested if the application would see this interface because I am not sure how I would go about defining this inteface)or to have a property only between the proppage and control. Or is there another way to signal the dirty. The OnMemberVariable of the control was properly executing I know from testing it just seems SetModifiedFlag() doesnt do anything if the property is not in the dispinterface
Thanks Again
You need to mark your control as "modified", so that its host could detect it and re-save persistent properties. In this case IPersistXxx::IsDirty implemented by your control would indicate dirty state.
MFC based control has COleControl::SetModifiedFlag for this purpose:
Call this function whenever a change occurs that would affect your control's persistent state. For example, if the value of a persistent property changes, call this function with bModified TRUE.
Update: To hide a property from property browser you can use nonbrowsable attribute.
Use the [nonbrowsable] attribute to tag an interface or dispinterface member that should not be displayed in a properties browser.

How do you force Infragistics UltraWebGrid to databind if you handle the InitializeDataSource event?

I am using Infragistics UltraWebGrid. I've handled its InitializeDataSource event with a function that fills the grid's DataSource property. Great. That works. When the grid determines that it needs data it goes and gets it.
My issue is that there are times where, because of actions taken on the page, I need to go back to storage and get new data. When I do this supplying the data I want to use to the DataSource property and then calling DataBind nothing happens. The grid does not bind itself to its DataSource.
Is there an incantation of code that will force UltraWebGrid to bind to its DataSource while still handling the InitializeDataSource event?
Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up find the solution (with a little help from a co-worker). Here is the code (sorry for the VB):
grid.DataSource = Nothing
grid.DataBind()
grid.Clear()
grid.DataSource = theNewDataSource
grid.DataBind()
Apparently you need to reset the DataSource and call Clear before setting the DataSource to your desired source and calling DataBind().

How to get complete HTML body using browser helper object (BHO) in case of DHTML/AJAX page?

I'm writing a BHO that analyze the HTML taken from the 'onDocumentComplete' event of 'DWebBrowserEvents2'. Currently it works fine, unless I have a DHTML/AJAX page, where HTML handle is delivered too soon.
For sample, I tried using it on 'http://www.google.com'. From the 'onDocumentComplete' event I can get most of the page but in the topmost link/anchors, the 'href' for maps, videos, orkut etc. is not available (normally it is javascript:void(0)).
Has anyone any ideas how to capture it when the page is fully loaded rather than just when the frame/body is loaded?
Thanks,
UPDATE
It seems there is some problem with the MSHTML API. I have posted the same question on MSDN forum and some response. Also I have detailed out my problem and findings....

In case someone finds some way to solve this then please do share...
Thanks,
The AJAX DHTML changes mostly don't cause a further onDocumentComplete call.
You need to register for further Window or Document events such as DISPID_HTMLWINDOWEVENTS2_ONLOAD.
One method is to advise the window of a com object that you provide with the generic event sink interface.
hr = AtlAdvise(winDisp, pWinHandler, DIID_HTMLWindowEvents2, &dwCookie);
When this further event is triggered re examining the document you will find that it is updated.
