Question

I need to access a database from within an arrayAdapter class I am using to populate a custom ListView. However, the startmanagingcursor is undefined for ArrayAdapters.

Here is a code snippet:

DB myDb= new DB(this);
myDb.open();
Cursor c = myDb.getInfo(sillyString);
startManagingCursor(c);

Answer 1

The startManagingCursor()-method is deprecated anyways. If you’re targeting Devices with Android 3.0 you can use a CurserLoader.

If not, you may want to create the cursor for a global object and close it in your onStop-method.
