Columns get unhidden on table filtering

[Parlae]

I have several columns in a table hidden, because I want to include their contents when performing a search but otherwise they don't need to be visible. The problem is when I do the search all columns get shown, and when I try to hide them again I got index out of bounds exception. I tried then to firstly show all the columns and clear hidden column list, end it gave inconsistent results (hiding column headers but showing complete rows etc)

private void searchTable(String searchString) {

       mTablePortraitViewFilter.set(searchString);

       try {
           mTablePortretView.showAllHiddenColumns();
           mTablePortretView.clearHiddenColumnList();
           hideTrivialColumns();
       } catch (Exception e){
           e.printStackTrace();
       }
}

private void hideTrivialColumns() {
        mTablePortretView.hideColumn(8);
        mTablePortretView.hideColumn(10);
        mTablePortretView.hideColumn(11);
        mTablePortretView.hideColumn(12);
        mTablePortretView.hideColumn(13);
        mTablePortretView.hideColumn(14);
        mTablePortretView.hideColumn(0);
    }

How can I prevent hidden columns from showing when filtering?

Thanks in advance

To be precise, problem occurs when I start deleting characters in search field and all rows are getting shown back. This is the exception I get:

Ditto - I'm in exactly the same position - hidden columns become visible on filtering - any workarounds?

@indieshack Hi, I placed two table views, one with fewer columns in portrait orientation, and one for landscape orientation with all the columns, but its a poor workaround.

@Parlae thanks - I spent hours last night trying to track down the issue in the pagination/filtering code with no luck. Additionally, after filtering, a select on the filtered data and a call to get the data in a selected row, i.e.

mTableView.getAdapter().getCellItem(0, mTableView.getSelectedRow())).getContent()

returns incorrect data because it's pulling the data from the original data array

Yes, I noticed that as well. What you can do is add a column with row numbers and then reference data by using row number as the index of the data array

I have the same issue. Can you please rectify this.
