Android :: Show Cursor Data In A Listview With Subsection Headings
Feb 3, 2010
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 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 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?

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 think I've tried everything(made focusable:false!!) and I cant capture in anyway the selected checkbox on my list item. Even OnItemClickListener, doesn't respond to any click. How can I retrieve checked checkboxes in my list item? My list item included: image view, 4 textviews and the checkbox. Some code:
this is in my ListActivity class:
final String columns[] = new String[] { MyUsers.User._ID, MyUsers.User.MSG, MyUsers.User.LOCATION }; int[] to = new int[] { R.id.toptext, R.id.bottomtext,R.id.ChkBox, R.id.Location}; Uri myUri = Uri.parse("content://com.idan.datastorageprovider/users"); Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(myUri, columns, null, null, null); startManagingCursor(cursor); ListCursorAdapter myCursorAdapter=new ListCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.listitem, cursor, columns, to); this.setListAdapter(myCursorAdapter);
And this is my Custom Cursor adapter class:
public class ListCursorAdapter extends SimpleCursorAdapter { private Context context; private int layout; public ListCursorAdapter(Context context, int layout, Cursor c, String[] from, int[] to) { super(context, layout, c, from, to); this.context = context; this.layout = layout;
} @Override public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) { Cursor c = getCursor(); final LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context); View v = inflater.inflate(layout, parent, false); return v;
} @Override public void bindView(View v, Context context, Cursor c) { TextView topText = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.toptext); if (topText != null) { topText.setText("");
} int nameCol = c.getColumnIndex(MyUsers.User.MSG); String name = c.getString(nameCol); TextView buttomTxt = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.bottomtext); if (buttomTxt != null) { buttomTxt.setText("Message: "+name); } nameCol = c.getColumnIndex(MyUsers.User.LOCATION);
name = c.getString(nameCol); TextView location = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.Location);
if (locationLinkTxt != null) { locationLinkTxt.setText(name);
}
I've tried many ways. many listeners, can't figure how to capture listener to my checkboxes. The data I am binding to the list items from the database, isn't concerned about the checkbox.. only the textviews. There isn't any connection between the database and the checkbox I have in the list's item.

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.

Requirement: Display query results in a list with a header view atop each group. (results grouped from database) Looking at Mark's MergeAdapter. Wondering if I might be able to use a single cursor and have each adapter filter on the group field? That a viable approach?

I have the following code to intantiate a SimpleCursorAdapter to use with a ListView. As you can see I have passed the R.layout.log_item to display the list items, and one value/control to bind to (TripDate).
SimpleCursorAdapter sca = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.log_item,c,new String[] {DBAdapter.KEY_LOG_TRIPDATE},new int[]{R.id.txtTripDate});
This works. I currently only have one widget in the layout xml, a TextView to hold the TripDate.
How do I pass multiple binding parameters for the additional widgets in the layout? So I can also display other info.

I cant find a way to save the checkbox state when using a Cursor adapter. Everything else works fine but if i click on a checkbox it is repeated when it is recycled. Ive seen examples using array adapters but because of my lack of experience im finding it hard to translate it into using a cursor adapter. Could someone give me an example of how to go about it.code...

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 custom adapter to display a list of items with section headings. I've looked at Jeff Sharkey's SeparatedListAdapter and CommonsWare's MergeAdapter as examples of how to achieve this, and I now have a solution which works by providing a separate adapter for the content of each section. This creates a big performance problem, though. In my case, there are potentially thousands of items in the list, each with an associated date, and I want to use the date as section heading for all the items with that date. So, without section headings, I'd have a single Cursor which returns the items sorted by date. Nice and easy. With section headings, I'm currently doing this: One Cursor to select all distinct dates in the dataset. For each distinct date, a separate Cursor to return the items matching that date. Pour the dates (section headings) and separate SimpleCursorAdapters for each date's items, into my custom adapter.

I'd like to have column headings in a TableLayout and I'd like those headings to remain visible when the table is scrolled vertically. One option is to create a separate TableLayout just for the column headings but it's a little complicated keeping the column widths consistent between the two tables.

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.

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 use the following main.xml for my app.
CODE:.............
I want to have 2 buttons at the top, previous and next and my listview with custom adapter below it. Few days ago I had only my ListView showing, going over the buttons. Now I seem to be stuck on the other side, where my listview doesn't show while my buttons do.
My activity extends on ListActivity and uses this code to fill it with a customadapter.
CODE:................
I tried using "lv.addHeaderView(previous);" but that only gave me vague ClassCastExceptions about LayoutParams.
I think my problem is currently in my main.xml, as the Layout tab in Eclipse of it won't show the ListView either. It knows its there as it shows up in the outline tab, but the visual representation doesn't give it a red outline when I select it.
For completeness, my custom_list (aka row) layout xml:

I have an issues, I want to show 20 items in the list.
But there is a catch: if the user scrolls down to the bottom of the list, there will be an item that says: "Show more items", and when the users click on it, more items will be added to the list.
My question is how is poosible to have a last item, that has a different style and looks different: and does different things,(I think this is used in QuickSearchbox)

I have a listview of items (songs on the sd card). The user has an option to load all the songs on the sd card to into a current playlist -- those songs are what is displayed in the listview. Because this can take few seconds to load if they have a lot of songs on the card, I want to display a progress dialog to just tell the user "One moment..." until the list refresh is done.
I launch a thread to do this. I've done this successfully on another app I have (which just updates a database in the background but doesn't update any display), but this one fails with this error message, "Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()". I chopped down the activity and pasted it below. What am I doing wrong here? I have just a vague idea of what might be happening.
By the way, everything works when I take out the threaded stuff, it just looks like the app freezes for a couple seconds.

I'm building a list that is sorted alphabetically. The list should show a divider containing the Letter that the following icons belong to.
I'm using a Cursoradapter that contains the already sorted result from the database. I plan on adding the divider to the list item and set it to visible if the shown letter changes. How do I know that I have a new Letter? Is there a better way then going forward or backward in the cursor and check if the item I show is the end or beginning of a new group?
