Question

I have an application that has a Database of vehicles with multiple fields.
I then have a ListView in which I want to display some of the fields.
Currently I have this:

SimpleCursorAdapter vehicleAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.vehiclerow, vehicleCursor, new String[] {"registration"}, new int[] { R.id.vehicleRow});

And I want to put multiple values on the vehicleRow TextView for instance:

Toyota - Corolla

in which Toyota and Corolla come from separate fields of the database.

I’ve tried this:

SimpleCursorAdapter vehicleAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.vehiclerow, vehicleCursor, new String[] {"make", "model"}, new int[] { R.id.vehicleRow});

but it doesn’t work.

What could be the problem?

Regards

Answer 1

You can only map one data field to one view with the standard adapters.

You either need to create a custom adapter to let you put two data fields.into one widget (not always trivial) or create a new rowlayout with the necessary textviews and use that with a standard adapter.

I’d go for the second option.
