Hi all,
I juststarted programming in android a few weeks ago, so I am not
entirely sure how to deal with listing values. Please help me out!
I have some questions regarding displaying data sets from db in a
list. Currently I have a cursor returned by my db points to a list of
rows and I want display 2 columns values in a single row of the list.
The row xml looks like this:
<TextView android:id="@+id/text1"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView android:id="@+id/text2"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
so I was thinking using simplecursoradapter which supposedly makes my
life easier by displaying the data in a list. However that is only
true if I want to display the raw data.
For the purpose of my program I need to do some computations on the
raw data sets, then display them. I am not sure how to do that using
SimpleCursorAdapter. Here's how I display the raw data:
String[] from = new String[]
{BtDbAdapter.KEY_EX_TYPE,BtDbAdapter.KEY_EX_TIMESTAMP};
int[] to = new int[]{R.id.text1, R.id.text2};
// Now create a simple cursor adapter and set it to display
SimpleCursorAdapter records =
new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.exset_row,
mExsetCursor, from, to);
setListAdapter(records);
Is there a way to do computation on the data in those rows before I
bind it with the SimpleCursorAdapter? I was trying to use an
alternative way of doing this by using arraylist and arrayadapter, but
that way I dont know to how achieve displaying 2 items in a single
row.
This is my code for using arrayadapter which only display 1 text in a
row instead of 2 textviews in a row:
//fill in the array
timestamp_arr = new ArrayList<String>();
type_arr = new ArrayList<String>();
fillRecord();
Log.d(TAG,"setting now in recordlist");
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
R.layout.list_item,timestamp_arr));
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
R.layout.list_item2,type_arr));
It's very obvious that it only displays one textview in a row because
I set the second arrayadapter overwrites the first one! I was trying
to use R.id.text1 and R.id.text2 for them, but it gave me some errors
saying
04-23 01:40:58.658: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(3309):
android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID
#0x7f070008 type #0x12 is not valid
I believe the second method can achieve this, but I'm not sure how do
deal with the layout problems, so if you any suggestions, please post
them out. Thank you!!
