Question

I have a database that I have created with the following handler:

    public class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
    private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "trade.db";
    public static final String RESOURCEID = "resourceid";
    public static final String STARTPRICE = "startprice";
    public static final String CURRENTBID = "currentbid";
    public static final String EXPIRES = "expires";
    public static final String BUYNOWPRICE = "buynowprice";
    public static final String TYPE = "type";

    public DatabaseHelper(Context context) {
        super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, 1); 
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
        db.execSQL( "CREATE TABLE cards (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, resourceid TEXT, startprice TEXT,currentbid TEXT, expires TEXT, buynowprice TEXT, type TEXT);");
    }

    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
        android.util.Log.w("cards",
                "Upgrading database, which will destroy all old data");
        db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ");
        onCreate(db);
    }
}

I would like to display the items of this DB in a listview where items are selectable, unfortunately I am a complete android nooby (first application). Could someone please explain to me how I would do this? I am well aware there are some examples out there, but I am simply unable to follow them. Thanks

No tutorial, just some things you’ll need:

• The
  getReadableDatabase()-method of
  your SQLiteOpenHelper
• A CursorAdapter
