Question

I want to populate a String array in a do while statement like below, I can populate a TextView with the code but I need to be able to click on through, if you know what I mean.

It’s not all here but I hope you get my drift.

String[] theLocations = { };

do {        
    //...Here I would like to fill theLocations with the same values as output below
    output.append("\n\n" + BeachName + " - " + distence + "Kms");           
} while (theCursor.moveToNext());   

I guess I will need the _id field also!

Cheers,

Mike.

Answer 1

The problem with array is that it has a fixed size, and while loop usually don’t run a fixed number of times.

There are two better options:

1. Use StringBuilder:

   StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
   do {        
       sb.append("\n\n" + BeachName + " - " + distence + "Kms");           
   } while (theCursor.moveToNext());   
   

2. Use ArrayList<String>:

   List<String> ar = new ArrayList<String>();
   do {        
       ar.add("\n\n" + BeachName + " - " + distence + "Kms");           
   } while (theCursor.moveToNext());
