section count?

[DrBeak1]

I've been looking through the source but cannot find a way to get the count for a particular section. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any help.

There is not a convenience method for this. One way would by a while loop.

i = sectionPosition
while (true) {
    if (isSection(i)) break;
    i++;
} 
int size = (i - 1) -  sectionPosition;

This is just quick and off the top of my head solution, on my cell phone. I'll leave this issue open and will add a convenience method but it will probably only be in 2.+ or maybe 1.+. We'll see.

Awesome, thanks Chris - I appreciate your response.

@DrBeak1 In class that extends SectionCursorAdapter Introduce global array list

  ArrayList<Integer> sectionIndeces = new ArrayList<>();

Override buildsections

  @Override protected SortedMap<Integer, Object> buildSections(Cursor cursor) {
    SortedMap<Integer, Object> sections = super.buildSections(cursor);
    sectionIndeces.clear();
    sectionIndeces.addAll(sections.keySet());
    return sections;
  }

make method to get count for specific section

 private int getSectionSize(int position) {
    int count;
    int index = sectionIndeces.indexOf((Integer) position);
    if (index < sectionIndeces.size() - 1) {
      count = sectionIndeces.get(index + 1) - sectionIndeces.get(index) - 1;
    } else {
      count = super.getCount() - sectionIndeces.get(index) - 1;
    }
    return count;
  }

@DrBeak1 used your method but added the ability of getting it for any index in the section using the list position. Big changes in 3.0.
