# Android TableView (Kotlin)

##### _Android's missing TableView component._

This Kotlin version is based on the original
[TableView](https://github.com/evrencoskun/TableView) implementation by
[Evren Coşkun](https://github.com/evrencoskun/). This component uses RecyclerViews for displaying
column headers, row headers and cells.



## Features

- [x] Calculated fixed width based on the largest cell.
- [x] Different ViewHolders for the headers and cells.
- [x] Action listeners for interacting with the headers and cells.
- [x] Visibility control for rows and columns.
- [x] Sorting for column data.
- [x] Filtering/query for data.
- [x] Pagination functionality.

## Latest version

You can check the [releases page](https://github.com/ingenuity-ph/android-tableview-kotlin/releases)
for the latest version and changelog.

### Project integration

To use this library in your Android project, add this dependency line
`implementation 'ph.ingenuity.tableview:tableview:0.1.0-alpha'`
to your application's `build.gradle` file.

```
dependencies {
implementation 'ph.ingenuity.tableview:tableview:0.1.0-alpha'
}
```

### 1. Creating the TableView

#### Programmatically

```kotlin
val tableView = TableView(context)
```

#### XML layout

##### Basic

```xml

```

##### Customized

```xml

```

```kotlin
val tableView = findViewById(R.id.table_view)
```

###### Customizable Attributes

**Note:** To use these attributes on XML layout, the **xmlns:** namespace line
`xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"` should be added on the layout root view.
Otherwise, Android Studio gives you compile error.

- `table_column_header_height` - height of the column header
- `table_row_header_width` - width of the row header
- `table_selected_color` - color for selected cells
- `table_separator_color` - separator color
- `table_shadow_color` - shadow color
- `table_show_horizontal_separator` - visibility control for horizontal separator
- `table_show_vertical_separator` - visibility control for vertical separator
- `table_unselected_color` - color for not selected cells

### 2. Creating the TableViewAdapter

A custom TableViewAdapter must be created to handle the ViewHolders for the column header, row
header and cells. Since this library uses `RecyclerView` component, `onCreateViewHolder` and
`onBindViewHolder` methods are called for the column header, row header and cells. The custom
TableViewAdapter should extend the `AbstractTableAdapter` class. Also create your `ViewHolder`
classes to extend `AbstractViewHolder` class.

###### Example TableViewAdapter

```kotlin
class RandomDataTableViewAdapter(
private val context: Context
) : AbstractTableAdapter(context) {

override fun getColumnHeaderItemViewType(column: Int): Int = 0

override fun getRowHeaderItemViewType(row: Int): Int = 0

override fun getCellItemViewType(column: Int): Int = 0

override fun onCreateCellViewHolder(
parent: ViewGroup,
viewType: Int
): RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
val cellView = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(
// Replace this with your cell view layout
R.layout.table_cell_text_data,
parent,
false
)

return RandomDataCellViewHolder(cellView)
}

override fun onBindCellViewHolder(
holder: AbstractViewHolder,
cellItem: Any,
column: Int,
row: Int
) {
val cell = cellItem as RandomDataCell
val cellViewHolder = holder as RandomDataCellViewHolder
cellViewHolder.cellTextView.text = cell.content.toString()
}

override fun onCreateColumnHeaderViewHolder(
parent: ViewGroup,
viewType: Int
): RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
val columnHeaderView = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(
// Replace this with your column header view layout
R.layout.table_column_header_text_data,
parent,
false
)

return RandomDataColumnHeaderViewHolder(columnHeaderView)
}

override fun onBindColumnHeaderViewHolder(
holder: AbstractViewHolder,
columnHeaderItem: Any,
column: Int
) {
val columnHeaderCell = columnHeaderItem as RandomDataCell
val columnHeaderViewHolder = holder as RandomDataColumnHeaderViewHolder
columnHeaderViewHolder.cellTextView.text = columnHeaderCell.content.toString()
}

override fun onCreateRowHeaderViewHolder(
parent: ViewGroup,
viewType: Int
): RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
val rowHeaderView = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(
// Replace this with your row header view layout
R.layout.table_row_header_text_data,
parent,
false
)

return RandomDataRowHeaderViewHolder(rowHeaderView)
}

override fun onBindRowHeaderViewHolder(
holder: AbstractViewHolder,
rowHeaderItem: Any,
row: Int
) {
val rowHeaderCell = rowHeaderItem as RandomDataCell
val rowHeaderViewHolder = holder as RandomDataRowHeaderViewHolder
rowHeaderViewHolder.cellTextView.text = rowHeaderCell.content.toString()
}

override fun onCreateCornerView(): View? {
// Replace this with your corner view layout
val cornerView = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.table_corner_view, null)
cornerView.setOnClickListener {
Toast.makeText(context, "CornerView has been clicked.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}

return cornerView
}

class RandomDataCellViewHolder(itemView: View) : AbstractViewHolder(itemView) {
val cellTextView: TextView
get() = itemView.findViewById(R.id.random_data_cell_data)
}

class RandomDataColumnHeaderViewHolder(itemView: View) : AbstractViewHolder(itemView) {
val cellTextView: TextView
get() = itemView.findViewById(R.id.column_header_text)
}

class RandomDataRowHeaderViewHolder(itemView: View) : AbstractViewHolder(itemView) {
val cellTextView: TextView
get() = itemView.findViewById(R.id.row_header_text)
}
}
```

### 3. Setting the TableViewAdapter to the TableView

`AbstractTableAdapter` class requires three lists for the column header, row header and cell items.

```kotlin
// Retrieve your data from local storage or API
val cellsList = randomDataFactory.randomCellsList as List>
val rowHeadersList = randomDataFactory.randomRowHeadersList as List
val columnHeadersList = randomDataFactory.randomColumnHeadersList as List

// Create an instance of our custom TableViewAdapter
val tableAdapter = RandomDataTableViewAdapter(mainView!!.context)

// Set the adapter to the created TableView
tableView.adapter = tableAdapter

// Set the data to the adapter
tableAdapter.setAllItems(cellsList, columnHeadersList, rowHeadersList)
```

### 4. Setting an ActionListener to the TableView

A custom TableViewListener must be created to handle column header, row header and
cell click and long pressed actions. The custom TableViewListener must implement the
`ITableViewListener` interface.

###### Example TableViewListener

```kotlin
class TableViewListener(private val tableView: TableView) : ITableViewListener {

private var toast: Toast? = null

private val context: Context = tableView.context

override fun onCellClicked(cellView: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, column: Int, row: Int) {
showToast("Cell $column $row has been clicked.")
}

override fun onCellLongPressed(cellView: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, column: Int, row: Int) {
showToast("Cell $column, $row has been long pressed.")
}

override fun onColumnHeaderClicked(columnHeaderView: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, column: Int) {
showToast("Column header $column has been clicked.")
}

override fun onColumnHeaderLongPressed(
columnHeaderView: RecyclerView.ViewHolder,
column: Int
) {
if (columnHeaderView is RandomDataColumnHeaderViewHolder) {
val popup = ColumnHeaderLongPressPopup(columnHeaderView, tableView)
popup.show()
}
}

override fun onRowHeaderClicked(rowHeaderView: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, row: Int) {
showToast("Row header $row has been clicked.")
}

override fun onRowHeaderLongPressed(rowHeaderView: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, row: Int) {
if (rowHeaderView is RandomDataRowHeaderViewHolder) {
val popup = RowHeaderLongPressPopup(rowHeaderView, tableView)
popup.show()
}
}

private fun showToast(message: String) {
if (toast == null) {
toast = Toast.makeText(context, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
}

toast!!.setText(message)
toast!!.show()
}
}
```

###### Setting the TableViewListener to the TableView

```kotlin
tableView.tableViewListener = TableViewListener(tableView)
```

> By now, we should have a working TableView with displayed data and action listeners.
The next sections are for some TableView features such as changing data sets, hiding/showing
columns and rows and scrolling to position, as well as advanced features such as
sorting, filtering and pagination.

### Updating TableView data

The data set in the TableView can be updated by updating the TableViewAdapter.

- To **add a row**:

```kotlin
tableView.adapter.addRow(position, rowHeaderItem, cellItems)
```

- To **add a multiple rows**:

```kotlin
tableView.adapter.addRowRange(position, rowHeaderItems, cellItems)
```

- To **remove a row**:

```kotlin
tableView.adapter.removeRow(position)
```

- To **remove multiple rows**:

```kotlin
tableView.adapter.removeRow(position, count)
```

- To **update a row header**:

```kotlin
tableView.adapter.changeRowHeaderItem(position, rowHeaderItem)
```

- To **update multiple row headers**:

```kotlin
tableView.adapter.changeRowHeaderItemRange(position, rowHeaderItems)
```

- To **update a column header**:

```kotlin
tableView.adapter.changeColumnHeader(position, columnHeaderItem)
```

- To **update multiple column headers**:

```kotlin
tableView.adapter.changeColumnHeaderRange(position, columnHeaderItems)
```

- To **update a cell item**:

```kotlin
tableView.adapter.changeCellItem(column, row, cellItem)
```

### TableView visibility controls

The visibility of the the rows and columns in the TableView can be controlled using the visibility
controls in the TableView instance.

- To **show** a row:

```kotlin
tableView.showRow(row)
```

- To **hide** the row:

```kotlin
tableView.hideRow(row)
```

- To **show all hidden** rows:

```kotlin
tableView.showAllHiddenRows()
```

- TableView store a map that contains all hidden rows.
This method will **clear the list of hidden rows**:

```kotlin
tableView.clearHiddenRowList()
```

- To **check the visibility state** of a row:

```kotlin
tableView.isRowVisible(row)
```

- To **show** a column:

```kotlin
tableView.showColumn(column)
```

- To **hide** a column:

```kotlin
tableView.hideColumn(column)
```

- To **show all hidden** columns

```kotlin
tableView.showAllHiddenColumns()
```

- TableView store a map that contains all hidden columns.
This method will **clear the list of hidden columns**:

```kotlin
tableView.clearHiddenColumnList()
```

- To **check the visibility state** of a column:

```kotlin
tableView.isColumnVisible(column)
```

### TableView advanced properties and methods

- To recalculate column width:

```kotlin
tableView.remeasureColumnWidth(column)
```

- To ignore column width calculation for better performance:

```kotlin
tableView.hasFixedWidth = false
```

- To ignore setting selection colors that are displayed by user interaction:

```kotlin
tableView.ignoreSelectionColors = false
```

- To show or hide separators of the TableView:

```kotlin
tableView.showHorizontalSeparators = Boolean
```

```kotlin
tableView.showVerticalSeparators = Boolean
```

- To programmatically scroll to a row or column position:

```kotlin
tableView.scrollToColumn(column)
```

```kotlin
tableView.scrollToRow(row)
```

### Sorting

> **Sorting**, by definition and usage in this context is the rearrangement of values in a data set
according to a property in ascending or descending manner.

#### Implementation

To use this feature in the TableView, the `Sortable` interface must be implemented in the data
classes or the models. The `Sortable` interface requires you to provide a unique `id` and
`content` value for your data. Sorting can be done on the following data types:

- **Number**
- **String**
- **Date**
- **Boolean**
- **Comparable**

###### Example data class implementing `Sortable` interface

```kotlin
class RandomDataCell(
_data: Any,
_id: String = _data.hashCode().toString()
) : Sortable {

override var id: String = _id

override var content: Any = _data
}
```

###### Sorting controls

- To **sort the TableView according to a specified column**:

```kotlin
tableView.sortColumn(column, sortState)
```

- To **get the current sorting state of a column**:

```kotlin
tableView.getColumnSortState(column)
```

###### Sorting states

- `SortState.ASCENDING`
- `SortState.DESCENDING`
- `SortState.UNSORTED`

###### Sorting state updates

Listening to sorting state changes can be done by implementing the `AbstractSorterViewHolder`
interface to your `ColumnHeaderViewHolder` class.

- This method is called after every sorting process:

```kotlin
onSortingStatusChanged(SortState sortState) {
// do something here...
}
```

- To get the sort state of a column header, just access the `sortState` object:

```kotlin
columnHeaderViewHolder.sortState
```

### Filtering

> **Filtering**, by definition and usage in this context, is displaying a subset of data into the
TableView based on a given filter globally. on a specified column or combination.

#### Implementation

To use this feature in the TableView, the `Filterable` interface must be implemented in the data
classes or the models. The `Filterable` interface requires you to provide a unique
`filterableKeyword` string value for your data. This `filterableKeyword` will be used for filtering
the cell data based on a filter query.

###### Example data class implementing `Filterable` interface

```kotlin
class RandomDataCell(
_filter: String = _data.toString()
) : Filterable {

override var filterableKeyword: String = _filter
}
```

###### Creating an instance of the `Filter` class

An instance of the `Filter` class must be created and pass the TableView to be filtered.

```kotlin
private lateinit var filter: Filter

initialize() {
setUpTableView()
filter = Filter(tableView)
}
```

###### Filtering process

Filtering can be done by calling the `set()` method of the `Filter` instance which can be used to
filter the whole tabele data, a column or combination. Clearing a filter can be simply done by
passing an **empty** string as filterKeyword (`""` and not `null`).

```kotlin
// filtering whole table data
fun filterWholeTable(filterKeyword: String) = filter.set(filterKeyword)

// filtering a specific column
fun filterThisColumn(column: Int, filterKeyword: String) = filter.set(column, filterKeyword)

// clear filter for whole table
fun clearTableFilter() = filter.set("")

// clear filter for a specific column
fun clearFilterForThisColumn(column: Int) = filter.set(column, "")
```

###### Adding a `FilterChangedListener`

A `FilterChangedListener` object can be added to the TableView for handling data changes during
filtering process.

```kotlin
private val filterChangedListener = object : FilterChangedListener {

fun onFilterChanged(
filteredCellItems: List>,
filteredRowHeaderItems: List
) {
// do something here...
}

fun onFilterCleared(
originalCellItems: List>,
originalRowHeaderItems: List
) {
// do something here...
}
}

initialize() {
setUpTableView()
filter = Filter(tableView)
tableView.filterHandler.addFilterChangedListener(filterChangedListener)
}
```

### Pagination

> **Pagination**, by definition and usage in this context, is the division of the whole set of data
into subsets called pages and loading the data into the TableView page-by-page and not the whole
data directly. This is useful if you have a large amount of data to be displayed.

#### Implementation

###### Creating views to control the Pagination

_Depending on your preference, you may not follow the following and create your own implementation._
1. Create a layout with the following components: Two **Button** views to control next and
previous page, a **Spinner** if you want to have a customized number of pagination
(e.g. 10, 20, 50, All), an **EditText** to have a user input on which page s/he wants to go to,
a **TextView** to display details (e.g. _Showing page X, items Y-Z_).
2. Assign the views with the controls and methods which are discussed below.

###### Creating an instance of the `Pagination` class

- The `Pagination` class has three possible constructors: (1) passing the `TableView` instance only,
(2) `TableView` and the initial `ITEMS_PER_PAGE` and (3) `TableView`, initial `ITEMS_PER_PAGE` and
the `OnTableViewPageTurnedListener`. By default, if no ITEMS_PER_PAGE specified, the TableView will
be paginated into **10** items per page.

```kotlin
private lateinit var pagination: Pagination

initialize() {
setUpTableView()
pagination = Pagination(tableView)
}
```

- **Loading the next page of items** into the TableView using the `loadNextPage()` method.
You can assign this to your implementation of nextPageButton onClick action:

```kotlin
fun nextTablePage() = pagination.loadNextPage()
```

- **Loading the previous page of items** into the TableView using the `loadPreviousPage()` method.
You can assign this to your implementation of previousPageButton onClick action:

```kotlin
fun previousTablePage() = pagination.loadPreviousPage()
```

- You can navigate through the pages by **going to a specific page directly** using the
`loadPage(page: Int)` method. You can assign this to the EditText field TextChanged
action (using TextWatcher):

```kotlin
fun loadTablePage(page: Int) = pagination.loadPage(page)
```

- You can customize and **set the number of items to be displayed per page** of the TableView
using the `itemsPerPage` property of the pagination. You can assign this to your Spinner
with the number of items per page list:

```kotlin
fun setTableItemsPerPage(numItems: Int) {
pagination.itemsPerPage = numItems
}
```

###### Adding an `OnTableViewPageTurnedListener`

- A listener interface (**Pagination.OnTableViewPageTurnedListener**) can also be implemented
if you want to do something each time _a page is turned_ (e.g. previous, next, goToPage or
change items per page action is called):

```kotlin
private val onTableViewPageTurnedListener =
object : Pagination.OnTableViewPageTurnedListener {

override fun onPageTurned(numItems: Int, itemsStart: Int, itemsEnd: Int) {
// do something here...
}
}

initialize() {
setUpTableView()
pagination = Pagination(tableView)
pagination.onTableViewPageTurnedListener = onTableViewPageTurnedListener
}
```
