Question

In my app I want to put in an array some items from database. I can see them, as a list using this function :

private void fillData() 
{
    c = db.fetchListId(listid);
    startManagingCursor(c);

    adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.listproduct, c,
                                      new String[] { DbAdapter.KEY_ITEM,
                                                     DbAdapter.KEY_QUANTITY,
                                                     DbAdapter.KEY_UNITS }, 
                                      new int[] { R.id.prod1,
                                                  R.id.prod2, 
                                                  R.id.prod3 }
                                     );

    setListAdapter(adapter);
}

But I don’t know how can I put them in an array.

Can anyone help me, please?

Answer 1

You’re definitely going to begin by iterating through the cursor:

while(c.moveToNext()){
  myString = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("MyColumnName")); // or somesuch
  array[x][y][z] = myString; // also somesuch
}

Without knowing more about how you want to store the data, it’s impossible to guess what you need beyond c.moveToNext().

UPDATE:

OK, so you just want to accumulate them into a String. Try something like:

String theList="";
while(c.moveToNext()){
  theList += c.getString(0) + " " + c.getString(1) + c.getString(2) + "\n";
}
