Summary

Public methods
`abstract boolean`	`setViewValue(View view, Object data, String textRepresentation)` Binds the specified data to the specified view.

Public methods

setViewValue

Added in API level 1

public abstract boolean setViewValue (View view, 
                Object data, 
                String textRepresentation)

Binds the specified data to the specified view. When binding is handled by this ViewBinder, this method must return true. If this method returns false, SimpleAdapter will attempts to handle the binding on its own.

Parameters
`view`	`View`: the view to bind the data to
`data`	`Object`: the data to bind to the view
`textRepresentation`	`String`: a safe String representation of the supplied data: it is either the result of data.toString() or an empty String but it is never null

Returns
`boolean`	true if the data was bound to the view, false otherwise
