I have a BaseAdapter I am using to put up some images in a gridview which will be used for categories of a sort. When adding the adapter to the gridview I can currently only get the images to show up on my activity. I would also like to have a small text box below the image with the name of the category. So the finished grid will be something like 2x6 with an image of lets say a movie and the name of the movie under the image. My adapter code currently looks like below. What's the easiest way of adding some text below the images?
Code:
package com.example.recommended
import android.content.Context
import android.view.View
import android.view.ViewGroup
import android.widget.BaseAdapter
import android.widget.ImageView
import com.example.recommended.R
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.list_item.view.*
class ImageAdapter internal constructor(private val mContext: Context) : BaseAdapter() {
// References to our images
private val mThumbIds = arrayOf(
R.drawable.sample_0,
R.drawable.sample_1,
R.drawable.sample_2,
R.drawable.sample_3,
R.drawable.sample_4,
R.drawable.sample_5,
R.drawable.sample_6,
R.drawable.sample_7)
override fun getCount(): Int {
return mThumbIds.size
}
override fun getItem(position: Int): Any? {
return null
}
override fun getItemId(position: Int): Long {
return 0
}
// Create a new ImageView for each item referenced by the Adapter
override fun getView(position: Int, convertView: View?, parent: ViewGroup): View {
val imageView: ImageView
if (convertView == null) {
// if it's not recycled, initialize some attributes
imageView = ImageView(mContext)
imageView.layoutParams = ViewGroup.LayoutParams(300, 300)
imageView.scaleType = ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP
} else {
imageView = (convertView as ImageView?)!!
}
imageView.setImageResource(mThumbIds[position])
return imageView
}
}
