Question

I want to put an table content to a string if a listview item is selected.

My actual query

    public Cursor webUrlQuery() {
    String webUrlTmp = "select weburl FROM stations WHERE name=" + "'" + name + "'";
    return database.rawQuery(webUrlTmp, null);
}

works. But if I log it to logcat via

Log.d(TAG, "webUrl = " + webUrlQuery());

or

Log.d(TAG, "webUrl = " + webUrlQuery().toString());

I got something like this:

12-30 23:25:15.828: D/StationsActivity(10576): streamUrl = android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCursor@4132fce0

How can I get an string which I can use?
It seems that the method, cursor.toString() dont work.

It depends on how many results you’re expecting. If you only expect one result, you could use something like this:

Cursor result = webUrlQuery();
result.moveToFirst();
String url = result.getString(result.getColumnIndex("weburl"));
Log.d(TAG, "webUrl = " + url);

Good luck!
