An Android ActionBar + ListFragment example

The source code below corresponds to an article I wrote titled, Android ActionBar example: How to create an options menu item.

public class QuotesListFragment extends ListFragment {

    private static final String TAG = "VPQuotesListFragment";
    private QuoteCursor quoteCursor;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setHasOptionsMenu(true);
        getActivity().setTitle(R.string.title_quotes_screen);

        // config the database and adapter
        quoteCursor = DatabaseManager.get(getActivity()).queryQuotes();

        // create an adapter to point at this cursor
        QuoteCursorAdapter adapter = new QuoteCursorAdapter(getActivity(), quoteCursor);
        setListAdapter(adapter);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        quoteCursor.close();

        //TODO working on possible memory leaks
        quoteCursor = null;
        setListAdapter(null);
        
        super.onDestroy();
    }

    @Override

        super.onActivityCreated(bundle);
        // get a handle to our list view to implement 'swipe to delete'
        ListView listView = getListView();
        // Create a ListView-specific touch listener. ListViews are given special treatment because
        // by default they handle touches for their list items... i.e. they're in charge of drawing
        // the pressed state (the list selector), handling list item clicks, etc.
        SwipeDismissListViewTouchListener touchListener =
            new SwipeDismissListViewTouchListener(
                listView,
                new SwipeDismissListViewTouchListener.DismissCallbacks() {

                    public boolean canDismiss(int position) {
                        return true;
                    }
                    @Override
                    public void onDismiss(ListView listView, int[] reverseSortedPositions) {
                        for (int position : reverseSortedPositions) {
                            String quoteToDelete = ((QuoteCursor)(getListAdapter()).getItem(position)).getQuote().getQuote();
                            DatabaseManager.get(getActivity()).deleteQuote(quoteToDelete);

                            // need the next two lines to update the list after the delete
                            refreshQuoteCursorDataSet();

        listView.setOnTouchListener(touchListener);
        // setting this scroll listener is required to ensure that during ListView scrolling,
        // we don't look for swipes.
        listView.setOnScrollListener(touchListener.makeScrollListener());

    }
    
    private void handleCasesWhereThisQuoteWasTheCurrentlyDisplayedQuote(String quoteThatWasDeleted) {

     * onResume. i just tested it, and they both get called, so either one
     * will work.

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        refreshQuoteCursorDataSet();
    }

    /**
     * as the code shows, the cursor needs to be refreshed before
     * notifyDataSetChanged is called
     */
    private void refreshQuoteCursorDataSet() {
        quoteCursor.requery();
        ((QuoteCursorAdapter)getListAdapter()).notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

    /**
     * the menu layout has the 'add/new' menu item

    @Override

        menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_quotes_list, menu);

                startActivityForResult(addQuoteIntent, 0);
                return true;
            default:
                return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
        }
    }

    private static class QuoteCursorAdapter extends CursorAdapter {

        private QuoteCursor mRunCursor;

        public QuoteCursorAdapter(Context context, QuoteCursor cursor) {
            super(context, cursor, 0);
            mRunCursor = cursor;
        }

        @Override
        public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) {
            LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            return inflater.inflate(R.layout.quote_item_view, parent, false);
        }

        @Override
        public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor) {
            // get the quote for the current row
            Quote quote = mRunCursor.getQuote();

            // this works with my custom view (quote_item_view.xml)
            TextView textView = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.the_quote);
            textView.setText(quote.getQuote());

            // set the text size
            textView.setTextAppearance(context, R.style.listViewText);

            // confirmed: this works. can also specify alpha as '00-ff' before the rgb
            // component, but that won't do anything in this case
            textView.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
        }

    }

}

The reason I show the code here is because it shows how to enable the Android ActionBar, in this case from a Fragment, and more specifically a ListFragment.
