Android :: Moving Cursor Position To A Certain ID
Sep 23, 2010
My user can flick through a set of records.I save the last seen record _ID in Preferences, so that they can start off from where they left when they access the application next time.The cursor that I have extracts _ID field too.However, I don't know how to move cursor to that particular row.The following functions of the cursor need a specific position to go to :- The _ID may not be sequential (due to deletes etc).Any way to do this?

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.

I want to read my cursor position so that, after a tap, I can convert the screen x,y coordinates to a Geopoint for distance calculations.I found a snippet to convert x,y coordinates to a Geopoint and probably could use Projection instead, but how do I input those screen x,y values in the first place? This is probably straightforward, but I'm confused.The class Cursor seems to be something different than what I need

How do you position the cursor in a text box? Evidently, some of the other Galaxy S models have an alternate keypad pop up when you press and hold the ?123 key in a text box.I have not been able to make it work on my Fascinate. See this article for details and do a search for "?123": Galaxy S Tips and Tricks (works w/ Captivate, Epic 4G, Fascinate, Vibrant)Is there some other method to accurately position the cursor as shown above?

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?

On my htc i was looking through display, i see g sensor calibration and i perform this calibration and after i do so the screen seems to have a delay when switch from the horizontal position to the vertical position. its weird because when i switch to the phone horizontally it switch normally and responds fast. but when i switch back to vertically it takes almost 7 seconds to actually switch back, sometimes it switch within 2 or 3 secs but never as quick as switching horizontally.

If you're already updated, shut down and repower (soft reboot) should do the trick. I actually updated my phone and after it started to do this. I restarted the phone plenty of times i even took the battery out for 30 seconds. It only does it when im texting on the browser, basically everything but the camera. He camera screen rotation is perfect. I even rooted the phone but i havent figured out how to use the root to fix the problem. Should i do a firmware update? Because i just did the htc software update.

I've got this piece of code where I count words in a dictionary and then I try to query them:
CODE:.............
The SELECT_BY_LENGTH is defined this way: private static final String SELECT_BY_LENGTH = "select word._id, word.word from word where length(word.word) between ? and ? ";
And the count works perfectly but the cursor.move(1) always returns false. I've tried to get the column count and responds with the correct count and the column names map too. I mean that the method getColumnIndex works too but I can't get any data from the cursor. All such methods fail. Am I doin' something wrong? I'm using android 1.5.

I have a Cursor points to a Contact. How can I get an url built from that Cursor?
I need to know that because from here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html
I need to have an url so that I can build a phone uri, like this: phoneUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(uri, People.Phones.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
and I can query all the phone numbers for that contact.

After looking into this, it appears that I should use CursorJoiner. So the code would look something like this: So my question is, how to I make a new cursor from the first two?

I have a query that is making use of GROUP BY so that the results are grouped by a date column. My question is this:
When I move through the cursor to get the results of the query, how can I get the multiple items associated with each group into my vector? For example, I want to get BOTH "Item X" and "Item Y" for October 16, 2010. Currently, I get them each separately.
Here is my code:
CODE:..........
So, when I get the results from my Vector, I will get:
October 12, 2010
- Item X
October 12, 2010
- Item Y
And I want:
October 12, 2010 - Item X, Item Y
Yes, I do have to change my Vector to support multiple items, but hopefully you get what issue I'm facing...

I think the following scenario is common, but I can't figure the way to implement it:
We have three Activities, and one database. We ask the user for an input to search in the database. The query should get none, one or may results.
If you get none you simple inform the user.
If you get only one, you show it in a new activity with the right view.
If you get many you show them in a list to let the user to chose the right one and then you pass that to the activity which with show the data in the case of one result only.
The problem is that, in order to know the number of results, you need to do the query (and get the cursor) in the first activity. And in the case you get more than one result you need to send the data (pass the cursor?)to the list acitivty. Doing the query again in the list activity can't be right, right?
I'm aware that you can share cursors by using a content provider, but as the activities are from the same application and the data is private (useless outside), don't see the point of making it avaliable to anyone else.
I read here around that you can crate a parcelable cursor and send it in bundle, but I'm not sure if that is the right use.

I'm trying to customize my buttons in my view a bit and give them my own look. Whenever I set a picture as a background so that the button looks different though, I seem to lose my cursor. I can use my trackball to go through the items still but when I come to one of my custom buttons the cursor does not show. I have the same problem with some TextViews that I made clickable.

In the android reference site, it is written in the serCursorVisible section that cursor is visible by default and you can give its value as either "true or "false" to change the its visibility on the GUI screen. But in my case , cursor is remaining invisible irrespective of setting the visibility "true" or "false" using android:cursor Visible = "true" in the layout/main.xml. Should I do something more to make cursor visible on the GUI screen or its a bug in android?
