View 2 RepliesI have two files, one called "part1.txt" and another one called "part2.txt", which look like following
part1.txt part2.txt
lili like eating apple
lucy like playing football
Now i want to insert the contents of these two files into a single table with the schema
table_name(linefrompart1 varchar(100), linefrompart2 varchar(50))
My program reads the first file line by line and insert the data into the first column. But if it reads the second file and tries to insert the data line by line into the second column, it doesn't work the way i want. A table which i want should look like following
linefrompart1 linefrompart2
lili like eating apple
lucy like playing football
But instead i got the following table
linefrompart1 linefrompart2
lili null
lucy null
null like eating apple
null like playing football
Does somebody know how i can fix this problem?
I'm not big into UI programming so this may be an easy thing I overlooked. I am trying have a screen that shows 8 TextView in a 2 column x 4 row table. And, of course, I want the TextViews, that might have different lengths, to be centered. I tried this in a table layout, for obvious reasons but I feel like this is not the way to do it because it doesn't have much control where I put everything once it is in a row. Should I be using a different combinations of layouts or is there something I overlooked.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow to create a table without primary key but it has one autoincrement column.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I have an app on the market, and with an update I want to add some columns to the database. No problems so far. But I want to detect if the database in use is missing these columns, and add them if this is the case. I need this to be done dynamically and not just after the update to the new version, because the application is supposed to still be able to import older databases. Normally I would be able to use the PRAGMA query, but Im not sure how to do this with Android. I cant use execSQL since it is a query, and I cant figure out how to use PRAGMA with the query()-function.
Ofcourse I could just catch exceptions and then add the column, or always add the columns to each table before I start to work with it, but that is not a neat solution.
I have a table with column headings: | _id (long) | Name (String) | x (integer) | y (integer) |
I want to delete the row in the table that has Name myName.
// In onCreate
dbHelper = new DBAdapter(this);
dbHelper.open()
// Function in DBAdapter class
public boolean deleteTitleGivenName(String myName)
{return dbHelper.delete(DATABASE_TABLE_2, KEY_NAME + "=" + myName, null) > 0;}
// Function call in java code
dbHelper.deleteTitleGivenName(myName); // this is where my code fails
dbHelper.close();
Just as a note: myName is for sure in the database. Also, I can not use the ROWID since I am getting myName from a ListView.
I just started programming with Android and I have tried for days to solve this problem.
Is my WHERE clause correct (KEY_NAME + "=" + myName)?
I am trying out this table layout in which there are three columns, each column utilizing the maximum space as they could (using strechColumn tag). Now when a column gets content which is too long, then table layout jumps of the screen.
How can i set the content of a column to wrap, so that table layout dont jump off the screen.
here is the XML code for table layout i used...

I am new to android.
Create db ,table and insert data and retrieve it make it display in list.
Is it possible for my android application to dynamically adjust the no of column and no of row of my TableLayout based on orientation?
For example, when in landscape mode, the TableLayout is 3x2 and when
in portrait mode, the TableLayout is 2x3?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my project, I would like to create a database with single table. I would also like to insert data on this table from word or excel document. is it possible? if so please how can I do it? some code snippets would be of great help. I have four different activities which I would like them to interact with this single table. the first is the main activity and its purpose is just to launch the other three activities according to user choice. so it has no interaction with the DB. but the other three activities will read from the table whenever called. Can you please tell me how to call the dbhelper on these activities? I am unable to do this and I am currently creating one db per each activity which is not the optimal way.

Creating TableRow inside TableLayout seems to be one of the options but how to dynamically create the tableRows depending upon the type?
Here is my screen description: It is a TableLayout and it contains multiple Rows. I have set TableRow as clickable, as I want to go to next screen on click of a tableRow. Everything I am doing through Java programming (instead of XML layout, because number of TableRows changes each time) On next screen, I wanted to display all the views of that particular clicked TableRow. Here the problem i am facing is how to capture particular tableRow on onclick() even and how do I get all the textviews of that particular Row. I tried to set id at runtime, and tried to get id of view, but it's not working, giving error resourcenotfoundexception.

I've checked logcat and it doesn't seem to report a problem...

I've been pouring over this and I bet its some silly syntax typo! Or, at least I hope it is something trivial.
I have a table layout with a few predefined rows in it. Each row has only two columns.
Now I need to dynamically add additional rows in it.
I have two problems:
1) When programmatically inflating, I cannot set the index of the newly created row (I want it in place 'n') 2) After inflation, the inserted (actually appended) row doesn't listen to parent table's stretch column property.
So here are my questions:
q1) Can I set the place where to insert the inflated row programatically ?
q2) Why doesn't the new row inflate properly (the second column is not shown because the first column doesn't contains a TextView with fill_parent.
In the end I need the first column to occupy 80% of the screen width, and the second column remaining 20%.
q3) is that doable with programmatic row insertions ?
When a button is clicked, the following method is run:
public void createTableRow(View v) {
TableLayout tl = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.spreadsheet);
TableRow tr = new TableRow(this);
LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
tr.setLayoutParams(lp);
TextView tvLeft = new TextView(this);
tvLeft.setLayoutParams(lp);......................
R.id.spreadsheet is an xml TableLayout. I can see from debugging that the method is being accessed, but nothing is drawn to the screen. What gives? Do I need to reset the Content View somehow?
the error in my logcat is such Logcat

I want to design a table whose first column items remain fixed when user scrolls horizontally, but should scroll when the user scrolls vertically. Similarly the first row items remain fixed when user scrolls vertically, but should scroll when the user scrolls horizontally. Can this be achieved using a TableLayout? Or is there any other combination of widgets that I could use?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOne of my android apps performs the following specific SQLite query:
CODE:................
Now that works on some Android phones, but on a few of them it crashes with the following error:
CODE:..................
For some reason, "-1" is interpreted as a column rather than a number... that doesn't make much sense and when I read the SQLite query language I see no need to escape this number in parentheses. Could it be an issue of a different version of SQLite? Would adding parentheses this help any? Instead, I'll probably rewrite it using >= 0 but still I'd like to understand what's going on.
I'm having trouble with something that works in the Notepad example.
Here's the code from the NotepadCodeLab/Notepadv1Solution:
CODE:.................
This code seems to work fine. But just to be clear, I ran the adb utility and run sqlite3 I inspected the schema as follows:
CODE:...............
All seems good to me.
Now on to My App, which as far as I can see is basically the same with a few minor changes. I've simplified and simplified my code, but the problem persists.
CODE:..............
When I run my app, I get a RuntimeException and the following prints in LogCat from my Log.e() statement:
LogCat Message: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: column '_id' does not exist
So, back to sqlite3 to see what's different about my schema:
CODE:.................
I don't see how I'm missing the '_id'.
Can anyone point out what I've done wrong?
One thing that's different between my app and the Notepad example is that I started by creating my application from scratch using the Eclipse wizard while the sample app comes already put together. Is
there some sort of environmental change I need to make for a new app to use a sqlite database?
