android-cursorloader

I am new to android and i have read so many things for best way to load data from an Sqlitedatabase, and from reading blog of Alex Lockwood. I finally decided to go with CursorLoader & LoaderManager. My problem is that many people want to read data without ContentProvider CursorLoader usage without ContentProvider do not know why they don't want to use ContentProvider can any body suggest me? If contentprovider is best solution than i just want to make URI for external database. Please, any body know how to make external database which is reside in sdcard? I want to fetch uri of that database

I am using a ContentProvider to query a database and return a Cursor that is used in a CursorLoader : ItemsActivity: public class ItemsActivity extends SherlockActivity implements LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstance) { .... getSupportLoaderManager().initLoader(LOADER_ID, null, this); ... } @Override public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int loaderId, Bundle bundle) { return new CursorLoader(getApplicationContext(), itemsListUri, ...); } ... } ItemsContentProvider: public Cursor query(Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection, ...) {

I have a ContentProvider , it's having two tables 1. OnlineContacts 2. AllContacts . Then i have a method in which i am querying both the tables and getting their resultant cursors separately. And then joining them using CursorJoiner and making a list of Contacts . Passing this list to my CustomAdapter extending BaseAdapter , i am populating my listview . Like : public static List<Contact> getContacts(Context context){ List<Contact> contactList = new ArrayList<Contact>(); // Getting First Cursor String URL = xyz; Uri baseUri1 = Uri.parse(URL); String[] select = xyz; String where =xyz; Cursor

I updated my android SDK to the latest version, and now it says that startManagingCursor() is deprecated . I need help to update my code to use the new CursorLoader . private void fillData() { Cursor notesCursor = mDbHelper.fetchAllNotes(); startManagingCursor(notesCursor); NoteAdapter notes = new NoteAdapter(this, R.layout.notes_row, notesCursor); setListAdapter(notes); } So, startManagingCursor() is old, what would the new code look like, if it was translated? First, startManagingCursor() still works. It is not ideal, in that it performs database I/O on the main application thread. In

I am doing like a quote application that pulls the quotes from the database and I need to display quotes in a ViewPager. I have created my CursorPagerAdapter which seems to work well. public class MyCursorPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter { private Cursor cursor; private LayoutInflater inflater; public MyCursorPagerAdapter(Context context, Cursor cursor) { Log.d(MainActivity.TAG, "MyCursorPagerAdapter.onCreate()"); this.cursor = cursor; this.inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); } public void swapCursor(Cursor cursor) { //if(cursor != null) {

I'd like to get the list of songs of an album by querying the MediaStore with CursorLoader How can i do this ? I can get all the songs of the device with this code : static final String[] TRACK_SUMMARY_PROJECTION = { MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID, MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE}; public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int id, Bundle args) { String sortOrder = MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE + " ASC"; String select = null; return new CursorLoader(getActivity(), MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, TRACK_SUMMARY_PROJECTION, select, null, sortOrder); } What should I add to the code or modification
