I'm banging my head off my table. I just cant seem to figure this out. All I want to do is have a listview populated with items from my SQLite database when an activity is created.
Maybe I'm missing something small, I have no idea at this point and am beyond frustrated. I know the database isn't being created because it is not present in the file explorer.
Here is DatabaseHandler.java:
package com.dd.gfit;
import android.content.Context;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;
public class DatabaseHandler extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
private SQLiteDatabase db;
// database strings
public static final String DATABASE_NAME = "gfit.db";
public static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;
// table strings
public static final String TABLE_ROUTINES = "routines";
// key strings
public static final String KEY_ROUTINES_ID = "id";
public static final String KEY_ROUTINES_NAME = "name";
public DatabaseHandler(Context context) {
super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
}
@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
// create routines table
db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS " + TABLE_ROUTINES + " ("
+ KEY_ROUTINES_ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,"
+ KEY_ROUTINES_NAME + " VARCHAR"
+ ")");
// insert test data into routines table
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO " + TABLE_ROUTINES + " (" + KEY_ROUTINES_NAME + ") VALUES ('Test Routine 1')");
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO " + TABLE_ROUTINES + " (" + KEY_ROUTINES_NAME + ") VALUES ('Test Routine 2')");
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO " + TABLE_ROUTINES + " (" + KEY_ROUTINES_NAME + ") VALUES ('Test Routine 3')");
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO " + TABLE_ROUTINES + " (" + KEY_ROUTINES_NAME + ") VALUES ('Test Routine 4')");
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO " + TABLE_ROUTINES + " (" + KEY_ROUTINES_NAME + ") VALUES ('Test Routine 5')");
}
@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
// do database upgrades here
}
public Cursor fetchRoutines() {
Cursor cursor = db.query(TABLE_ROUTINES, new String[] {KEY_ROUTINES_ID, KEY_ROUTINES_NAME}, null, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor != null) {
cursor.moveToFirst();
}
return cursor;
}
}
Here is RoutinesActivity.java:
package com.dd.gfit;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.support.v4.app.NavUtils;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.ListAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;
public class RoutinesActivity extends Activity {
private DatabaseHandler db = new DatabaseHandler(this);
private Cursor cursor = db.fetchRoutines();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_routines);
// Show the Up button in the action bar.
getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
// open the database and show the routines
db.getWritableDatabase();
displayRoutines();
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.activity_routines, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this);
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
private void displayRoutines() {
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(
this,
R.layout.listitem_routine, cursor,
new String[] { db.KEY_ROUTINES_NAME },
new int[] { R.id.listitem_routine_name });
ListView routineList = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.list_routines);
routineList.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}
Here is activity_routines.xml:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".RoutinesActivity" >
<ListView
android:id="@+id/list_routines"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_margin="10dp" >
</ListView>
</RelativeLayout>
Here is listitem_routine.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="center_vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/listitem_routine_name"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="@string/lorem_routine_item"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/button_routine_edit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/ic_action_edit"
android:contentDescription="@string/ic_action_edit" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/button_routine_delete"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/ic_action_delete"
android:contentDescription="@string/ic_action_delete" />
</LinearLayout>
What is wrong here? Also, once I get this working, there are buttons within each listview item as you can see by listitem_routine.xml. I want to pass KEY_ROUTINES_ID into the button somehow so that each item can be edited on the fly. Is there a tutorial I can use anyone is aware of or maybe just a snippet?

You cannot call this because it didn't call onCreate() yet. db.fetchRoutines(); will call something from your db. But you have created your db object. 'this' cannot be used because the object didn't construct yet.
private DatabaseHandler db = null;
private Cursor cursor = null;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_routines);

// open the database and show the routines
db = new DatabaseHandler(this);
db.getWritableDatabase();

}
This method
db = new DatabaseHandler(this);
is where you create your object.
db.getWritableDatabase();
is where you get your db, you can only use db operations after this line.
