Android :: Merge Name And Tell Columns Of Cursor To Show Both In One List View?
Nov 5, 2009
I am making an app where I need to filter the contacts as user types.. I m using autoTextView and I am able to successfully query the contacts db for either tel number or name.. However while displaying I can either display name or tel number only as simple cursor only lets me match one list view with one column.. How do I merge the name and tel number column of the cursor so that both of them can be shown in one list view.

Is it possible to populate a listview based on a row Id from a custom cursor adapter. I keep getting an error "illegalArguementException column: _id does not exist". but the database has it and is already being used correctly. I don't know what to do, because I would need to populate different listviews from the same database and i don't want to have to create multiple database which will still have the same column names code...

I supply a cursor to a ListActivity like this: My question is how/when should I close my cursor when I am done? Cursor cursor = get ContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor != null) {
mCursorAdapter = new CursorAdapter(this, cursor);
setListAdapter(mCursorAdapter);

I have a ListView which is populated using a CursorAdapter. I'd also like to have some separators in my ListView. I have accomplished this with an ArrayAdapter, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this with a CursorAdapter. Are there any strategies for doing so? Or am I out of luck?

I have a list which shows data from a database using a cursor adapter. Using Menu option I am updating my database (inserting more rows deleting existing rows). When Menu operation completes, I want contents of list should show updated contents.
I have tried using cursor.requery(); (or explicitly querying cursor again) and using adapter.notifydatasetchanged(), but with this list of contents are not updated.
How can I refresh the contents of the list.

I am trying to implement a drop down list when a button is clicked.
So, I have a text view and a button in a navigation bar(nav.xml) and a corresponding list view. This navigation bar is included in another page( products.xml)
when the button is clicked i get the list view right below the button(which is what i want to achieve) but its my moving all the contents on the current page downwards, even the text view which is placed in nav bar moved downwards.
I am totally new to Android, any sample examples or a way how to achieve it?

I am on Android 2.1 and I have one multi column Custom listview Using BaseAdapter with an editable edittext at the end of the listview. If the data in the listview do not contain the data of user choice then user should be able to enter data. If the data is already there in the list user will be able to select the data using custom selector. If a selection is made in the list view and user wanted to enter data in the text field at the bottom after selection then the marker in the list view should be unselected. I tried to use onclick() method on edit text using click listener. First time when it is clicked, edit text is getting focus and onclick() method is not fired. And when it is clicked second time, onclick() method is fired and notifyDataSetChanged() method is called. I tried to call the notifyDataSetChanged() method from the Focus Listener, list view selection is gone in my first attempt and edit text is not receiving any data input from the keyboard (frozen).

I have a Cursor that returns rows I use with a SimpleCursorAdapter to populate a ListView. I would like to filter some of the rows so they don't get displayed in my ListView. I use the data from the rows elsewhere in my Activity so I don't want to change my SQL to filter them with a WHERE clause. What is the best way to keep a row from being displaying in my ListView? Ideally I would check a column in my row and then only add rows to the ListView that satisfy a condition.

I have a custom CursorAdapter that is taking items from a database and displaying them in a listview. If possible, I would like to display only certain elements based on some boolean value within a database element. Here is something similar to what I would like to do:
package itp.uts.program;
import android.content.Context;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.CursorAdapter;
import android.widget.TextView;
//Adapter tests if an element is read or unread, and bolds the items that are unread
public class BoldAdapter extends CursorAdapter. Code...

I am trying to set up a ViewFlipper that changes a SlidingDrawers content each time a button is pressed. So far every view I set up worked fine, but now I am trying to create a ListView (including single_choice_mode) within a child view of the ViewFlipper, but my attempt only let to a NullPointerException. As I only discovered ViewFlipper today, I am not yet familiar with it and may not have understood it completely. if someone could give me a hand and help me find out what I have done wrong, that would be great. Here is what I have done:
The code for the onClick event of the ImageButtons:
public void onClick(View v){
if (v == btnExposure){
mFlipper.setDisplayedChild(0); }
else if (v == btnProperties){
mFlipper.setDisplayedChild(1);}
else if (v == btnSpecialEffects){
mFlipper.setDisplayedChild(2);.............

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?

CursorAdapter is great, i'm a big fan. I notice that both newView() and bindView() are passed Cursors, indicating that extracting stuff from the Cursor and sticking it in the view should happen inside those overrides.
however in the source for CursorAdapter.getView() i see that bindView() gets called whether the view is recycled or not. in the new view case, this causes a redundant Cursor to View copy.
IMHO, CursorAdapter should call newView() if the view couldn't be recycled, or bindView() if it could.

I have a selection for some items using a spinner widget. At the moment the spinner will load a simple Textview and show the name of the item.It is possible to define an own view to show inside the spinner row? I would suspect it being similar to a custom List row.I simply want to show an individual icon left from the spinner text for each item in the list.

I will try to be specific if I can - please be patient, first time asker and relatively new to programming on this platform. Apologies if this has been asked/answered before - please link it to me. I have searched up and down but find other unrelated (to me at least) problems.
The real puzzler for me is that my app is crashing on my emulator but when installed on my phone (via upload of apk to phone and then using an AppInstaller app from market) it works.
The crash comes from a NullPointerException at the numbered line in the following code snippet (my code) of a custom list cursor adapter.
CODE:....................
The following error dump is created.
CODE:..............
Curiously I have been happily programming and debugging away all day and out of the blue a long working and bug free portion of my app now throws up this error.
I suspect it might be a problem with the databases, but really not sure - nothing seems out of place there. Up until today I had a database with only one table - today I added a new table which also has a "_id" field as the name autoincrement key field, which I read in the docs was required for android list adapters (if memory serves). Having some experience in coding and some minor experience with databases, that seems like a bad idea to me but I am uncertain of if that is the problem and/or how else to do it.
The crash I am listing here does not display or make reference to the data in the other, new table. The cursor does not contain any query data from it. In fact if I rename the key field "_id" of the new table to something else (ie "_blah"), the crash remains.
Like I said, if I upload the apk to my phone, it works.
I have tried the following on the emulator:
- restarting adb (and eclipse) - no result
- uninstall from emulator - no result
- destory AVD profile and recreate - no result
I am developing this under the Android 2.1 SDK, and have been for the last few weeks. I have only ever had that SDK installed, I am yet to update to 2.2.
Not sure what else I can say here - hoping somebody here has experience enough to shed some light on it.
Without a fix to this, I can anticipate a very slow development process here on out (assuming I have to upload to my phone to test new code changes...).

I'm trying to create a multiple selection list where the selection is represented graphically rather than with checkboxes.My list has checkboxes, but I want them to serve a different purpose. I'm using a cursor to hold my data and created a custom view binder for the SimpleCursorAdapter. I did this for the checkboxes and general flexibility.So far I haven't even been able to show one line as being selected. I've enabled multiple selection on the list and denied the children of the list item focusability. I've tried manually changing background color with the position fed in through the list item click listener. But the wrong items get changed and they don't even change to the right color. I've enabled touch focusability with no improvement either.Ideally, I'd like the trackball highlight focus bar to appear in multiple places. But I don't think this is possible unless you use the drawable directly. But I don't know how to find or apply it. My next idea was to have a slim view bar that changes color. But I had the same problem with the wrong item being selected so I never finished trying to guess the index position to see if this would work. My most recent idea is to completely swap out the view for another one if it's selected. But I have no idea how to do this either. I'm thinking of using an array list to store the _id s of the items that need a different view to get around the wierd selection problem. I'm also thinking of passing in the ID field as my from and the selection view as the to for my adapter. Then I'd intercept it with my binder and change the view accordingly. But once again, I'm not sure how to do this successfuly.

I've got a schedule Class, which is simply a custom ViewGroup (with custom onMeasure() and onLayout()), which enables me to place childs(=events) with LayoutParams for column/row start and column/row end. The number of childs and their LayoutParams depend on database entries.
Now I'm trying to add childs (events) from my database. I'd have to use a Cursor Adapter, so my schedule Class has to extend ListView, right? I tried that but the newView() method of the adapter is never called. Why not? My custom ListView doesn't ask the adapter for childs, no childs are added. I also can't add the childs by hand calling schedule.addView() if I extend from AdapterView.
How can I add events to the schedule with the data from the cursor?

I've tried to add a TextView before a ListView in a LinearLayout. The result is that the ListView wont show at all. The same thing happens if I put the TextView after the ListView, but then I will only see the ListView. Is there a way to get a text view above the ListView without to much of a hassle?
