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.

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.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI 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?
I want to do some automated testcase with Instrumentation . Suggest that my AUT has 2 Activity. After clicking the button in ther first Activity, the second one will be shown with new content base on what we enter in the first Activity.) Instrumentation provides us the function called startActivitySync() and return the Activity object for processing. My question is how we can get the pointer of the second Activity after the it is shown by clicking the button on the first activity.?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do I get the row ID from a Cursor?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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.

How do get the row ID from a Cursor?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 have problems with Cursor in my Android application.
I have a SQLiteDatabase that return me Cursor when I try to fetch the values with :

View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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.
