ListActivity with Cursor?

The Notepad tutorial in the Android developer resources uses a CursorAdapter with ListView. You can find the relevant part of the tutorial here: developer.android.com/resources/tutorial....

I don't see a CursorAdapter, I see a SimpleCursorAdapter, which I suspect is similar, but it is not the same. If you look at my example code, I'm using the CursorAdapter. I'm trying to display an image based upon the data in the database.In my case it's simply a different graphic if the value stored is positive or negative.

If a SimpleCursorAdapter would work for this, then let me know. Otherwise, I'm assuming it won't do that. – Mitch Jul 21 '10 at 0:31 The documentation of the SimpleCursorAdapter says that it can map to ImageViews.

Developer.android. Com/reference/android/widget/… – Josiah Jul 21 '10 at 8:01 I'm not using an ImageView, I'm using a ImageButton. Furthermore, I'm not sure how they would know how to map my values.

How would it know if a positive or negative value would map to a different image on my ImageButton. Hence the reason I thought I would need to use a CursorAdapter and write the mapping myself. True?

You can use setViewBinder on a SimpleCursorAdapter to map values to views not supported by the SimpleCursorAdapter itself. You can see an example of using setViewBinder to bind data from the content provider to a CheckBox here: stackoverflow.com/questions/2612581/chec... You could use setViewBinder to bind your images to your imageButtons. That way, you don't have to create your own ListAdapter.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
