Android :: Computation On Db Data Then List Them Using Either SimpleCursorAdapter Or ArrayAdapter
Apr 23, 2010
I juststarted programming in android a few weeks ago, so I am not entirely sure how to deal with listing values. I have some questions regarding displaying data sets from db in a list. Currently I have a cursor returned by my db points to a list of rows and I want display 2 columns values in a single row of the list.
The row xml looks like this:
CODE:...............
so I was thinking using simplecursoradapter which supposedly makes my life easier by displaying the data in a list. However that is only true if I want to display the raw data. For the purpose of my program I need to do some computations on the raw data sets, then display them. I am not sure how to do that using SimpleCursorAdapter.
Here's how I display the raw data:
CODE:.........
Is there a way to do computation on the data in those rows before I bind it with the SimpleCursorAdapter? I was trying to use an alternative way of doing this by using arraylist and arrayadapter, but that way I dont know to how achieve displaying 2 items in a single row.
This is my code for using arrayadapter which only display 1 text in a row instead of 2 textviews in a row:
CODE:.......
It's very obvious that it only displays one textview in a row because I set the second arrayadapter overwrites the first one! I was trying to use R.id.text1 and R.id.text2 for them, but it gave me some errors saying 04-23 01:40:58.658: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(3309): android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f070008 type #0x12 is not valid.

I have an activity with multiple list views that are continuously receiving new values form a socket thread, another thread parses the data and updates the array adapters, then the ui thread calls notifyDataSetChanged() to cause the list to refresh.
My issue is that im refreshing all the list a couple of time a second, this causes the UI to be very laggy when some animations need to happen.
I was wondering what the best way is to update multiple lists with multiple value changes every second?

Often, a simple of ArrayAdapter does what I want and during early development I will provide the android.R.simple_list_item_1 for the view id required by the ArrayAdapter constructor. Is it possible to provide a customized view which is based on the android.R.simple_list_item_1 to the ArrayAdapter constructor?
I do not fully understand Android's 'include' functionality, but what I would like to do is something like:
Define a new TextView based on customizing the android.R.simple_list_item_1.
(I have no idea what the valid syntax would be)
code...
Reference my customized TextView. I assume that something like this would go into my layout directory. Then in my code I would do something like:
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.id.MyTextView, null);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, view.getId(), myArrayOfData);
Is this possible and if it is, what is the appropriate syntax to accomplish what I want?

I am having a weird issue. I have an ArrayAdapter which I am sorting. This displays properly on my screen, however when I check the actual data source, the contents have not been sorted. How can I ensure that sorting my ListAdapter will also sort my data source?
CODE:....
This shows that my data source hasn't been updated, even though my ListAdapter presents my ListView in the correctly sorted order.
For example:
If my data source is [10,9,1,20] after sorting my ListView will show [1,9,10,20] but the data source will still be [10,9,1,20]

I am trying to pull data from a cursor which is initialized as follows:
Uri inboxUri = Uri.parse("content://sms/"); Cursor c = managedQuery(inboxUri, null, null, null, null);
This effectively gets me to latest text message that has been sent/ received. I am now trying to put certain fields into a listView, but need to format them before displaying them. The date is represented in the table in milliseconds and I want to convert it to a date before placing it in the list.
Here is where I am trying to place the date in my list. How can I format these fields before placing them into my listview?

Anyone seen a general list or data manager app for Android? Not looking for a to-do list or task list - but a general list manager where I can define my own tables and fields, edit data, filter, sort, etc. Syncing to a PC app would be great, but I don't really expect that.If anyone has used Listpro fom Ilium Software, on Palm or Win Mobile - that's what I am looking to replace.I may end up using Excel spreadsheets with Documents to Go from Dataviz - and some general sync tool for PC to phone data sharing - but Listpro was so good, I'll miss it!

I am trying to connect a AutoCompleteTextView with a SimpleCursorAdapter, which narrows down the selection of a list of words, when the user starts typing.
Following some other posts here, I've come up with the following code, but it doesn't work. I defined a FilterQueryProvider runQuery() method for the SimpleCursor Adapter, but when I use the debugger in the code, the response from the ContentResolver.query((0 method call is null.
I think the problem is that there is no relationship between the CONTENT_URI and the SQL database, but I can't be sure.

I have an application that involves reading a text dictionary file with about 7000 entries, and allowing the user to choose one of these. My first approach was to allow the user to select one of these by using a AutoCompleteTextView together with ArrayAdapter<String>. This works, but is very slow (~10 seconds to update the word list each time the user enters a character to narrow down the choice).
I was wondering how to rework it so that I could use a database using a SimpleCursorAdapter instead. In other words, to hope that a SQL database could provide a more efficient ordering and access for the elements. Is this the best way to do it? I've also seen several references to SQLiteDatabase, but don't know which one to use.
I found this code fragmant consisting of an extended SimpleAdapter. http://sacoskun.blogspot.com/2008/08...leadapter.html<http://sacoskun.blogspot.com/2008/08/autocompletetextview-with-simple...>
Unfortunately, this is not a complete worked out example. Could someone forward me a more complete example? I've found lots of code fragments, but no code that shows how to initialise the SimpleCursorAdapter contents, or how it works together with the AutoCompleteTextView.

"create table accounts ("+BaseColumns._ID+" integer , profile_name text primary key" +" name text not null);";

I have got list that is filled with data from internet.
Datas are downloaded in chunks. At the end of the list next portion of data is downloaded and added to the list.
I'm detecting list end with help of onScrollListner:
CODE:........
I would like to addLoading... row when datas are being downloaded. Something similar to Gmail loading row at the end of the list.
I know that I can hack adapter.getCount() to return size + 1 and force adapter.getView to display loading... at the end of the list.
How can I do that in more elegant way?

I have a problem with bindView() that has me puzzled. I am using it to customize each row, including setting icons, coloring the background and setting up listeners for buttons. It mostly works as expected, but not quite.
When I fill the ListView with SimpleCursorAdapter, I get multiple calls to bindView() for position 0, but only 1 call for the other rows. The problem is that when all is said and done, I have 2 rows (LinearLayout) created for position 0. Here is a sample log extract:
CODE:........
I use a view holder class to hold the view, position and other data so that when a button is clicked, I can retrieve the holder with view.getParent.getTag(). This all works fine. The problem is that there are two views for position 0, but it's the first one in the above logcat that seems to be displayed. My code which acts on the rows when a button is clicked (especially setting background color) does not reliably hit the position 0 row that is actually displayed.
I can see what's happening but I am at a loss about what to do about it. Why are two view created for position 0? Is it something that I can control? How? If not, how should I deal with it so that the results when I modify the views are predictable?

Since the query that comprises my ListView basically gets the rowID, name, and a third column from my databases's table, I want to be able to filter the cursor based on the partial value of the name column. However, I am uncertain of whether I can do this directly from runQuery without expanding my DB class since I want to filter the existing cursor, or will I have to create a new query function in my DB class that partially searches my name column, and if so, how would I go about creating the query statement while using the CharSequence constraint argument in runQuery?I am also concerned about the performance issues associated with trying to run multiple queries based on partial text since the DB table in question has about 1300-1400 rows. In other words, would I run into a bottleneck trying to filter the cursor?

In the scenario that I made up a user chooses an application and and I offer him/her the available pieces of data to operate on.

The problem is as follows: - My app is deriving from TabActivity that has 3 tabs - Each tab has a ListView - Tab1 is populated by an adapter that inherit SimpleCursorAdapter and overrided the bindView() method. This tab is displaying correctly. - Tab 2 is also populated by another adatper that inherit SimpleCursorAdapter and overrided the bindView() method. For some reason that I don't understand, the overrided bindView() is not being called. Thus the tab is not displaying correctly.
Here's my code fragment:

Im using the NotePad example as a base for an application. This binds a ListActivity to a Provider.
Its perfect, except it uses SimpleCursorAdaptor, which means the list only binds to and displays one item per row. I want it to display two items, both bound the Provider. Or more accurately display the text from one Content Provider field and an icon which depends on the value of a different field.
This sounds like a pretty simple thing to do, a very slight modification to the NotePad application. Trouble is, I have no idea on *how* to do it. I really need a starting point, and "approach" to use.
So far I have tried (unsuccessfully):
* Hand populating the ListView by reading in the Provider data and populating an array in OnCreate. This works, except as the data is not bound the List does not update when I add an item.
* Extending SimpleCursorAdapter with a custom getViewBinder. Could still only bind to a single column.
* Building my own ListAdaptor. Couldn't get this to work.
* Concatenating both fileds together and "parsing" 2 fields into 1 field read/write.
The next thing I will try is extremely tacky running two separate simpleCursorAdaptors in two views in a Linear Layout, fudged so the row height is identical, and duplicate the logic.
I say this only to show that I really, really have tried.
How I can create a custom CursorAdaptor which binds to two fields instead of just one like SimpleCursorAdapter?

I was poking around in the documentation for the simpleCursorAdapter and I read that if the simpleCursorAdapter doesn't identify your images as resources it will assume they are URIs. My question is how do i retrieve the URI for an image placed into the asset folder of my application?

Suppose I get a cursor that contains all rows from my database, and I want to show them on a spinner, the following code will work. But I want to show two extra items as the spinner elements, how can I add those two elements?
For example, if the following code can show 4 spinner elements "Orange" "Apple" "Cabbage" "Green Onion", how can I add an element in the spinner saying "All fruit" "All Vegetable"?
