Question

I am creating a highscore list in my android app. I am returning the top ten high scores in order, and would like to auto number them so I can get them in the format:


1 name score
2 name score
3 name score
4 ...

with the ranking of the score (1,2,3,4 etc) coming from the order of the returned rows. I am using this cursor to populate a listview, so is it possible to do this as part of the query? Or is there another solution?
Thanks

Answer 1

Are you using a CursorAdapter? If you are, you can do this, can’t you?

bindView(View view, Cursor cursor){  
  ((TextView)view).setText(cursor.getPosition() + " " + cursor.getString(DATA_COLUMN)); 
}
