Cannot resolve constructor ArrayAdapter (saveourcar.soc.Insurance,int,int, java.lang.String[],java.lang.Integer[])

Question

I have made an application that has a list of insurance companies using a listView. The listView is populated using an array. I can currently search through this list using a filter. However beside each item in the listView I want an image, I can do this using CustomListAdapter adapter=new CustomListAdapter(this, itemname, imgid); however this stops my search from working so I'm trying to implement it like this adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.mylist, R.id.textView1, itemname, imgid); which is then throwing a Cannot resolve constructor ArrayAdapter (saveourcar.soc.Insurance,int,int, java.lang.String[],java.lang.Integer[]) error. Is there anyway I can have my imgid included in my ArrayAdapter.

My Code is as fallows

Insurance.java

    public class Insurance extends AppCompatActivity {
        ListView list;
        ArrayList<String> listItems;
        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
        EditText inputSearch;
        String[] itemname ={
                "123.ie",
                "AA",
                "Acorn",
                "Admiral",

Edit

If I take away imgid from my ArrayAdapter i does not filter my listView so I tried to add R.layout.mylistto my CustomListAdapter however when I try and add R.layout.myList to my CustomListAdapter I get the fallowing error

Error:(67, 35) error: constructor CustomListAdapter in class CustomListAdapter cannot be applied to given types;
required: Activity,String[],Integer[]
found: Insurance,String[],Integer[],int
reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length

Answer 1

You should use your CustomListAdapter for this since you need to show both a name and image in each row. One thing that you should do to make this easier is combine the image and name into a single object and update the CustomListAdapter to work with a list of that new object instead of two separate arrays. Otherwise you will end up having to write a custom filter and filter both arrays yourself.

Also, create a toString() method on that new object that returns the name. The ArrayAdapter filter by default compares the String you enter to the toString() of each object to know which records to keep and which to filter out. This will fix filtering on the CustomListAdapter.
