Question

Im working on the notepad tutorial from the android website. I have created a database with 2 entries: name and address. When the application is run only the Name is displayed. I want to display both Name and address. I have edited my filldata method but it doesnt work. See my code below. Any suggestions?

private void fillData() {
    Cursor notesCursor = mDbHelper.fetchAllNotes();
    startManagingCursor(notesCursor);

    // Create an array to specify the fields we want to display in the list (TITLE + BODY)
    String[] from = new String[]{NotesDbAdapter.KEY_TITLE,NotesDbAdapter.KEY_BODY};

    // and an array of the fields we want to bind those fields to (in this case just text1)
    int[] to = new int[]{R.id.text1};

    // Now create a simple cursor adapter and set it to display
    SimpleCursorAdapter notes = 
        new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.notes_row, notesCursor, from, to);
    setListAdapter(notes);
}

Answer 1

In your R.layout.notes_row file you should have two TextViews one for the title and one for the address and then you will write:

String[] from = new String[]{NotesDbAdapter.KEY_TITLE,NotesDbAdapter.KEY_BODY};

    // and an array of the fields we want to bind those fields to (in this case just text1)
    int[] to = new int[]{R.id.text1, R.id.id_of_the_second_text};

    // Now create a simple cursor adapter and set it to display
    SimpleCursorAdapter notes = 
        new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.notes_row, notesCursor, from, to);
    setListAdapter(notes);

Edit:
R.layout.notes_row could be something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView android:id="@+id/text1" 
 android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> 
<TextView android:id="@+id/text2" 
android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
