Android how to use adapter for listView without extending listActivity

Question

I have an application with tabs. In one tab I need to put data (strings) in rows. To do so I chose tableLayout but when I wanted to use a contextmenu

Answer 1

main.xml:

You need to define an xml which will be used to hold data of each row:

In the above xml i have also included the ImageView, it is not really required but this is just to update you that we can include the other controls also.

& at the last you should have a function in your related class:

private void LoadData()
{

    DBAdapter db = new DBAdapter(this);
    db.open();
    Cursor cur = db.GetData();
    private ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.myLayout);
    lv.setAdapter(null);
    if(cur.moveToFirst())
    {
            String[] from = new String[] {"_id","column1"};
            int[] to = new int[] {R.id.col1, R.id.col2};
            SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,R.layout.grid_item, cur, from, to);
            lv.setAdapter(adapter);  

     }
       db.close();
         }
}
