Question

I have created a listview which displays all the people in the database. But how do I get the row id of the one I select so I can pass that infomation to the next activity.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.load_game1);

    listContent = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.contentlist);

    mDbAdapter = new DbAdapter(this);
    mDbAdapter.open();
    Cursor cursor = mDbAdapter.fetchAll();
    startManagingCursor(cursor);
    String[] from = new String[]{DbAdapter.KEY_NAME, DbAdapter.KEY_ROWID};
    int[] to = new int[]{R.id.text};
    cursorAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.row, cursor, from, to);
    listContent.setAdapter(cursorAdapter);
    mDbAdapter.close();
    }

Now I want to click on a name get that row id from the database.

Answer 1

Use setOnItemClickListener on your Listview then you will get the id of the selected item (item id start from 0 but Database _id column is start from 1 so you should send id+1, please confirm this).

And send the id using intents.
