How can I create a list Array with the cursor data in Android

Question

How can I create a list Array (the list display First Alphabet when scroll) with the cursor data?

Answer 1

Even better than @imbrizi's answer is this:

ArrayList mArrayList = new ArrayList();
while(mCursor.moveToNext()) {
     mArrayList.add(mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(dbAdapter.KEY_NAME))); //add the item
}

moveToNext() will return false if there isn't anything left, so this reduces the SLOC by a few, and is easier to see.

Even better is to get the column index outside of the loop.

ArrayList mArrayList = new ArrayList();
int columnIndex=mCursor.getColumnIndex(dbAdapter.KEY_NAME)
while(mCursor.moveToNext()) {
     mArrayList.add(mCursor.getString(columnIndex)); //add the item
}
