Help Understanding ListView, ItemView, Visuals and data binding.

[0x11110]

As the title says, I need help understanding these concepts. I have read the manual and it makes no sense to me. In an attempt to understand what's going on here, I have created a dummy project and dummy data similar to the Contact example in the manual.

Edit:
I have attempted to remake the Contact class from the manual thirteen times and none of the variations work, so out of desperation, I have tried a new Class.

70+ Hours Spent Until This Point<<<<<<<<<

I have went ahead and created a new sample project to try and make sense of this whole thing and here's what I have so far:

I have made this base class that is just one random number.

This is my list of random numbers and the binding function.

This is my Visuals Class

I have read the ListView documentation probably 20 times. Everything is plugged in, in Unity. I event went so far as to try and build the list manually, but I couldn't get the intractable buttons to work so I'm back here.

**>>>>>>>>UPDATE<<<<<<<
With the help of Zan-Kievit Kenobi, the task has been completed.

What did I learn?

This is how you Bind data in ListView and refresh it with the proper data. If you want some data for some event that happens after you click the item in ListView, YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT A VARIABLE IN YOUR VISUALS CLASS. For some unknown reason, you just can't get outside data in the visuals event thing; its the inside of a black hole; apart from time and space.. Don't waste 70+ hours like I did trying to find a workaround. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.**

What are you trying to achieve with the ListView and how do you have everything set up in the editor?

Have you read up on everything related to input? (You need to create an input manager for any input to work for example)

Thank you so much for responding! You're amazing.

Okay, so at this point I have gotten the base ListView to spawn and populate the list with prefab objects. An important thing to note is that the issue was with the prefabs. Turns out, you have to have the prefab on the list itself, perfectly sized and whatnot; then once the list populates, deactivate the prefab. This is what took me so long.

I worked all day yesterday on figuring out the gesture handler. This:

Naturally, it's not working, so I'll likely spend the next couple weeks figuring that out. Stay tuned.

Edit:
Here's what I'm truing to do: I have many items on the screen that you can click on. When you click on these items, a menu comes up that displays the item's data. Some of these items collide with one another, so I group them. The grouped menu contains the ListView component. Each item in the list, when clicked, brings up a menu displaying the item's data. The only step I have left is to load the item's data into the correct menu after clicking the corresponding listView prefab.

I have reached the point where I can click on an object and prints a string to Debug.Log(). The issue I'm having now is that I cannot access the original list of objects.Here is a screenshot of my data binding.

Here is a screenshot of the button script on my prefab. I currently have it printing "HI" when the object is clicked. This is not working and these are my errors.

Help me Zan-Kievit Kenobi. You're my only hope!

EDIT:
I Got it!
