I have problems with Cursor in my Android application.
I have a SQLiteDatabase that return me Cursor when I try to fetch the values with :
code:.......
But I don't know how to obtain the value of the field in the Cursor.
If I do that :
code:........
I obtain the name of the columns (_id, title, body) but not the value.

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.

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 am seeing the exception in 'adb logcat'.But I don't know if it is caused by my application or android platform.Can you please give me any idea how to troubleshoot this exception?

Is it possible to use AdapterView with text fields in android?
My query returns a set of values and for each I want to place that within a textfield, so that the user may edit the value.
Also, I want to click a button to create a new empty field, so that I may insert a new entry.
If you know of good example, then please let me know!
I would prefer to use XML to define ui and I found this informations:
"In this case we create a new id called text1. The + after the @ in the id string indicates that the id should be automatically created as a resource if it does not already exist, so we are defining text1 on the fly and then using it." Source http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/notepad/notepad-ex1.html
Will this + allow me to autocreate as many fields as needed? Is there a way I can generically specify the layout in XML and then create fields adhoc based on db response?
I have build a sort of split view for one of my android applications. I have made an activity which is a container of a listview and a framelayout. I use the listview for a menu and in my framelayout, I load views of different activities. I have read the source code of the TabHost for building this system.
Activities that I load in my framelayout could contain a webview.
The system work pretty well but I have a big issue. When I click on a field in a webview, the soft keyboard doesn't appear and typing on the physical keyboard has no affect.
I have made many many researches and I found nothing.
When I look at all the views in HierarchyViewer, why there are multiple views's 'hasFocus' is true? I am under the assumption that only 1 view can have focus at a time. If so, why there are multiple view's hasFocus be true?

Can someone recommend lightweight reliable strategy to save and recreate such updates object (I can make it serializable)
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my app I am displaying a table where the individual cells are editable text fields (i.e. EditText objects). I am currently struggling calculating appropriate widths for these.
If I set the width to be as many "Ems" as the displayed text has characters, my fields are much to wide by about a factor of 2 and the table looks ugly and wastes lots of precious screen space. Setting the width in "Ems" is essentially like assuming the worst case, i.e. the width of a string under the assumption that it contains only the broadest characters in a font, usually 'M' (hence the name of the method), 'm', 'W', or '_'). But on average strings contain narrower characters and so most of these fields are half empty and much too wide for their actual content. I am thus desperately seeking a way to calculate a better fitting width, not that worst case width.
The "normal" way to do this in Java (in AWT or Swing at least) is to asks a widget's current Font (actually a Font's FontMetrics), to calculate and return the width that will be necessary to display a given string in pixels. But how does one obtain a TextView's Font? I haven't found any method to obtain a (Text)View's font and/or calculate a more appropriate width given the actual content of a cell's text string. How does one do that in Android?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an application that will randomly point an arrow in a direction, and have that arrow maintain it's direction if the device is moved. All I want to do it get the magnetic field readings as degrees and I can do it from there. The problem I'm having is getting the magnetic field readings. I can't find any tutorials on it and the API demo on google's dev site uses deprecated code (figures, google's sample code is never n00b friendly).
At this point I've got this together but I don't know what I'm missing, all the examples I can find are using SensorListener which has onSensorChanged(int sensor, float[] values) but SensorEventListener does not support "float[] values"
