Android : Adding A "column" - Data To A Database Cursor
Jan 10, 2010
Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way, but if so, please correct me. Here is the situation: I have a query which returns URI strings for ringtones stored in a database.
I am trying to add a "column" to this cursor with the ringer "Title" (since this can change outside my program). I can successfully user RingtoneManager to get the title, but I cannot figure out how to add this "column" to the cursor data for later use. Here is what I have so far: Code...

I am developing an application in android allowing the user to maintain his weight by providing him diet suggestions. I have done with that part and now, I need to display user weight tracking details using bar graph. I am able to fetch the Weight and Login date column data from the sqlite database to List<String>. I don't understand the way to put these values into a Bar Graph with Date Column data as X-axis and Weight column data as Y-axis.

I get records from the system by quering a ContentResolver. I maintain the order of the items in the database. So I want to display the items in the order taken from my database.
How do I merge these two informations?
I am looking after an alternative way now. As what I ideally want is:
Get order of contacts by a custom order held in my database (this involves joining CR with my DB cursor, and doing an order by, later seams it's not possible with CursorJoiner) but there is more, if the join is not unique I want to sort by contact's name as last measure
Which is impossible using Cursor and Joiners, because of the missing feature of order bys, also I need to return a Cursor, as I will be using the in an ExpandableList
Also this translated to TSQL it would look like
select * from contactsdata
left join category on contactsdata.catid=category.id
order by category.pos asc, contact.display_name asc
So I am looking now after an alternative. I have in mind to load in a temporary DB table all data from CR, then do the query on the temporary table where I can join tables and do order bys? How does this sound to you?

I read that the different entries in different tables are linked via the _ID column in that table. For example a contact might have an _ID = 1 I get via
ContactsContract.Contacts._ID
And now I want to read the phone number of that contact using
CODE:.............
This works fine, but what I would expect is that if the _ID of the contact is 1 that the _ID of the phone number is as well one since they belong together, but they are not equal. So the question is how does Android match these entries?

I have a table with column headings: | _id (long) | Name (String) | x (integer) | y (integer) |
I want to delete the row in the table that has Name myName.
// In onCreate
dbHelper = new DBAdapter(this);
dbHelper.open()
// Function in DBAdapter class
public boolean deleteTitleGivenName(String myName)
{return dbHelper.delete(DATABASE_TABLE_2, KEY_NAME + "=" + myName, null) > 0;}
// Function call in java code
dbHelper.deleteTitleGivenName(myName); // this is where my code fails
dbHelper.close();
Just as a note: myName is for sure in the database. Also, I can not use the ROWID since I am getting myName from a ListView.
I just started programming with Android and I have tried for days to solve this problem.
Is my WHERE clause correct (KEY_NAME + "=" + myName)?

I been using custom adapters based on the BaseAdapter and I usually populate my data at the getView() funtion.
Now I'm trying to write my custom adapter for my database cursor which now will be based on a CursorAdapter.
I'm getting confused where I should do the populating work? Along with how do I implement my inflating and populating "smart/efficient code based on RomainGuy presentation."

I am having some trouble working with the SQLite database. I am able to create the database, add to it, and delete from it with no problem by following the Notepad examples, but I am trying to avoid duplicates and therefore want to check to see if an entry exists already.
Below is the code I have for testing to see if a game exists. I get the correct Log message of "No Games" when there are no games, as well as the correct value for column from getColumnIndex which is proven to me by the log printout telling me that column = 1.
The error message that I receive if I don't catch the exception says "Caused by android.database.CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index -1 requested, with a size of 1
Where is Index -1 being requested if my call to getColumnIndex is returning 1? Code...

I'm working on an Android App where the user has different options for sorting the displayed data that comes from the database. Currently my orderBy string that I pass to Androids query() method looks like this:
"LOWER("+columnName+") ASC"
The problem with this is that if the data type in the column specified by columnName is integer, calling LOWER() on it will cause it to be sorted alphabetically, i.e. based only on the leftmost digit, which of course doesn't make any sense for numeric data. Hence I only want to apply LOWER() if the data type of the column is not integer. What I have in mind is a statement like this:
"CASE WHEN [data type of columnName is integer] THEN "+columnName+" ASC ELSE LOWER("+columName+") ASC END"
The part in the brackets is what I don't know how to do. Does SQLite provide a function to determine a column's data type?

I have two files, one called "part1.txt" and another one called "part2.txt", which look like following
part1.txt part2.txt
lili like eating apple
lucy like playing football
Now i want to insert the contents of these two files into a single table with the schema
table_name(linefrompart1 varchar(100), linefrompart2 varchar(50))
My program reads the first file line by line and insert the data into the first column. But if it reads the second file and tries to insert the data line by line into the second column, it doesn't work the way i want. A table which i want should look like following
linefrompart1 linefrompart2
lili like eating apple
lucy like playing football
But instead i got the following table
linefrompart1 linefrompart2
lili null
lucy null
null like eating apple
null like playing football
Does somebody know how i can fix this problem?

I have activity A and I used managedQuery in Activity A. I have an adpater which extends from BaseAdapter. In GetView I access the mcursor to get fields.If I click a button on Activity A it goes to B, A---> B.The problem arises when I am in activity B *and it's visible(B), the error is thrown from Acitivity A.I dont understand why I get the error from Activity A. Activity B is visible now and A is in background.There was a post already on this group with similar error but there was no response.I was hoping if someone encountered this and found a solution.

I'm looking for a way to insert data into a cursor that is separate from the SQL database it retrieves the rest of the information from. Is there any way to to this, or is there a different way to add more information to a list view item? What I'm trying to do is to use a date column for each entry in the list to calculate the number of days until that date (and then put that number in the list item). I know how to get the value, but I just cant find a way to put it into the list without it being in the cursor.

I have a ListActivity that uses a CursorAdapter to fill the rows in the view. I wrote a database helper class that gives me back results for common queries I make for my app, and it uses an SQLiteOpenHelper implementation I wrote to open the database. I use the open helper to open the database and get a cursor to pass to my CursorAdapter.
Here's a code snippet:
CODE:...................
The problem I'm having, that I didn't have before I implemented the open helper (before I just opened the database directly without a helper), is when I click on an item, which takes me to another activity, and then go back to this activity. When it initializes everything is fine, and my list is populated fine, but when I go back from the activity that follows, the list is empty and in the LogCat I see "Invalid statement in fillWindow()".
It appears from a few post I've seen that the reason is, when I requery the cursor, the database is closed. But I'm not closing it! I'm scratching my head on this one.

This has got me all confused! I'm trying to return the max value from a column in my database but the return value is always the name of the column.
The query I use:
private static final String SELECTMAX = "SELECT MAX(?) FROM " + TABLE_NAME ;
The (test) function to return the max value:
CODE:............
The column i'm querying is an INTEGER type but the result 's' is always the column name and not the desired value.

I have not found an example yet with a solution to the following task.
I have a SQLite database with two tables- BOOK and AUTHOR. I execute a query on the DB that uses a join and results in a cursor that looks like this. code...
New authors and books can be added to the database at any time, and I also need the user to be able to remove books, hence the [ ] checkboxes.
So i have two row layouts, row_author.xml & row_book.xml. I detect when I need to show a row_author subheading by seeing when the current author has changed compared to the previous row. But I have realized that the rendering of an Author Row will then move the cursor forward one row and jump over their first book.
Can anyone suggest a good approach to presenting data like this? Is there a much better way to do this?

I have some text data in database which I have retrieved in a Cursor, and I am displaying it in a ListView. What I want to do now is that when you select click a particular row in the list its text content should be displayed in full screen and the user should be able to scroll horizontally (like scrolling between iPhone home screens) to view the contents of the Cursor.

I have a ListView populated via a CursorAdapter. I give my user the ability to alter the data in the list. For example, the user can mark a row as being unread (the data are messages).
Suppose my user marked a row unread. Would a proper implementation mark the row in the database as read and then requery the Cursor?

The structure of some of my activities is a simple ListView with a custom CursorAdapter. The cursor is created in onCreate() on the activity from a SQLite database. The problem is that querying the SQLite database can be quite slow at times with lots of data (and let's assume I've already optimized the sql query as much as possible). Because it occurs in onCreate() on the UI thread, I get ugly black screens when opening the activity, which sometimes turn into ANRs, on a slow phone like the G1. I want to load the cursor in a background and show "Loading.." on screen while doing so. I saw AsyncQueryHandler used extensively in the framework, but this seems a solution geared more towards Content Providers and not application-local SQLite databases. I then thought of trying to load the cursor in a background thread, but realize that this might be problematic, as the CursorAdapter should be instantiated in onCreate() and should take a cursor as a parameter. The latest thought I had was to instantiate an empty MatrixCursor in onCreate() and pass that to the cursor adapter, while kicking off a thread/TimerTask to query the database. Then, on database cursor load, call cursorAdapter.change Cursor to the properly filled cursor. This doesn't seem very elegant and seems quite wasteful, however.

At the application level, my data is of the form.
* Event
* Contact List
* Contact
* Name
* Email
* Contact
* Name
* Email
The number of contacts is not predefined. Any thoughts on how to push this into a ContentProvider in one go? I basically dont want my application to worry about the hierarchy and bulk insert or something, I want to hand this responsibility over to the ContentProvider.
