custom android arrayadapter

Question

Not sure how to describe this one so I'll just do my best. I have a ListView that always displays five strings whatever is selected. I've copied an example to place images at the left of each list item. However I have five separate images and I don't know how to set each respective image in the custom array adapter. The current code is as follows:

String s = values[position];
if (s.startsWith("Windows")) {
  imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.image1);
} else {
  imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.image2);
}

I want mine to do the following:

if index = 0 then setImageResource as image1; elseif index = 1 then setImageResource as image2, etc.

Can I do this?

If there are static values. Why you don't use switch statement. For example:

switch(position)
{
  case 0:
  imageView.setImage(R.drawable.image1);
  break;
  .
  .
  .
  .
  case 4:
  imageView.setImage(R.drawable.image5);
  break;
}

Excellent Arben. That's just what it needed.

Another clean solution would be creating a POJO of the your array item.

class Item{
    String text;
    int imageId;

  //respective setter getters

 }

In your array adapter,the getView method, modify it accordingly
