How to append data from hashmap to arraylist for listview in Android?

This example demonstrates how to append data from hashmap to ArrayList for listview in Android

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="https://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="https://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   tools:context=".MainActivity"
   android:orientation="vertical">
   <EditText
      android:id="@+id/record"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:hint="record number"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
   <EditText
      android:id="@+id/name"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:hint="Enter Name"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
   <LinearLayout
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content">
      <Button
         android:id="@+id/save"
         android:text="Save"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
      <Button
         android:id="@+id/refresh"
         android:text="Refresh"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
   </LinearLayout>
   <ListView
      android:id="@+id/listView"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content">
   </ListView>
</LinearLayout>

In the above code, we have taken the name and record number as Edit text, when user click on save button it will store the data into ArrayList. Click on the refresh button to get the changes of the listview.

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

package com.example.andy.myapplication;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.Toast;

import java.util.ArrayDeque;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.Deque;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.PriorityQueue;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   Button save, refresh;
   EditText name,record;
   ArrayAdapter arrayAdapter;
   PriorityQueue<String> hs;
   ArrayList<String> array_list;
   private ListView listView;
   Map map = new HashMap();

   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle readdInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(readdInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      array_list = new ArrayList<>();
      name = findViewById(R.id.name);
      record = findViewById(R.id.record);
      listView = findViewById(R.id.listView);
      findViewById(R.id.refresh).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(View v) {
            arrayAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            listView.invalidateViews();
            listView.refreshDrawableState();
         }
      });

      findViewById(R.id.save).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(View v) {
            if (!name.getText().toString().isEmpty() && !record.getText().toString().isEmpty()) {
               map.put(record.getText().toString(),name.getText().toString());
               array_list.clear();
               array_list.addAll(map.values());
               arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(MainActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, array_list);
               listView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
               Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Inserted", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            } else {
               name.setError("Enter NAME");
               record.setError("Enter Record");
            }
         }
      });
   }
}

Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from the android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click the Run  icon from the toolbar. Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen −

In the above result, we are inserting the name of hashmap to ArrayList.
