Mark, Thanks for your reply, I was able to get it working.
Here is what I did, with your ideas and also referencing http://www.anddev.org/gtalk-t1450.html. public class testListView extends ListActivity { ... private DecimalFormat myCustDecFormatter = new DecimalFormat ("########.00"); ... ... /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { ... ... ... } private void fillData() { /* Get all of the rows from the database and create the item list */ /* for mult accts, pass in acct name? */ mEntryCursor = mDbHelper.fetchAllEntries(); startManagingCursor(mEntryCursor); // Create an array to specify the fields we want to display in the list (only TITLE) String[] from = new String[] {myDbAdapter.KEY_NMBR,myDbAdapter.KEY_DATE,myDbAdapter.KEY_DESCR,myDbAdapter.KEY_AMT}; // and an array of the fields we want to bind those fields to (in this case just text1) int[] to = new int[]{R.id.txtnmbr, R.id.txtdate, R.id.txtdescr, R.id.txtamt}; // Now create a simple cursor adapter and set it to display setListAdapter(new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.entryrow, mEntryCursor, from, to) { @Override public void setViewText(TextView v, String text) { super.setViewText(v, convText(v, text)); } }); } private String convText(TextView v, String text) { switch (v.getId()) { case R.id.txtamt: double dblAmt; //dblAmt = Double.valueOf(text); dblAmt = mEntryCursor.getDouble(AMT_COLUMN); return myCustDecFormatter.format(dblAmt); } return text; } ... ... ... }//end testListView On Aug 5, 11:32 am, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > Jeff wrote: > > Hello, I am creating a program as a learning experience. > > > The program keeps a running balance of individual decimal values. > > > What is displayed is the balance total, and below that is a list of > > the individual entries. > > > The numbers are all double data type, and saved in the sqlite3 > > database as datatype "REAL NOT NULL". > > > When the list is displayed, the balance shows the value correctly, > > without rounding or cutting off numbers. > > > However, the list item numbers get rounded, and as the numbers get > > bigger, the decimals start getting cut off. > > > Any ideas? > > You are implicitly relying upon something like Float#toString() to > display the numeric data. > > If you want control over the formatting, you will need to use something > like setViewText() or a ViewBinder with your SimpleCursorAdapter. > > -- > Mark Murphy (a Commons > Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://twitter.com/commonsguy > > Android App Developer Training:http://commonsware.com/training.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
