As the question dictates, i need to display records from database, different record for each child.ie, child 1= record 1 data. child 2 =record 2 data.so and so. i came up with the following code for display:
package com.example.moolah;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class DisplayActivity extends ListActivity {
DBAdapter db=new DBAdapter(this);
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_display_cursor);
Button viewbutton=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
// viewbutton.setOnClickListener(new Buttonx());
}
public class Buttonx extends DisplayActivity implements Button.OnClickListener{
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
Button viewbutton=(Button)v.findViewById(R.id.button2);
Object viewid=viewbutton.getTag();
int i=Integer.parseInt(viewid.toString());
MyCustomAdapter c=new MyCustomAdapter();
long id=c.getChildId(0,i);
//DisplayCursor d;
//d.filldata();
db.open();
// View view;
Cursor cursor = db.getRecord(id);
startManagingCursor(cursor);
String[] columns = new String[] {DBAdapter.invest_type,DBAdapter.curr_per_share_price, DBAdapter.share_name,
DBAdapter.no_of_shares,DBAdapter.share_identity,DBAdapter.purchase_price,
DBAdapter.purchase_from,DBAdapter.purchase_date,DBAdapter.purchase_contact};
int[] to = new int[] { R.id.investmenttype,R.id.currpershareprice,R.id.sharename,R.id.shareno,R.id.shareid, R.id.purprice,
R.id.purfrom,R.id.purdate,R.id.purcon};
SimpleCursorAdapter mAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter( this, R.layout.row, cursor, columns, to);
this.setListAdapter(mAdapter);
db.close();
}
}
This displays "no data" in text, although my database has data, as confirmed using command prompt adb shell. So i assume it doesn't have access to the onClick method. Now if i uncomment the line commented in onCreate method,it gets access, but results in a NullPointerException at viewbutton.setOnClickListener(new Buttonx());//onCreate method
How do i get access to onClick without generating this exception and display the records as desired? i think i am going fundamentally wrong somewhere. if someone could point out the flaw i would be greatful.you see, this thing is driving me nuts.:/

It should be like below. Also post the stack trace so that we can help you further
public class DisplayActivity extends ListActivity {
DBAdapter db;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_display_cursor);
db=new DBAdapter(this);
Button viewbutton=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
viewbutton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
@override
public void onClick(View v)
{
// do something
}
});
}
