Populating ListView With DataBase

The Android Development Tutorials blog contains Basic as well as Advanced android tutorials.Go to Android Development Tutorials to get list of all Android Tutorials.

ListView with SQLiteDatabse


ListView can be populated by ArrayAdapter, Custom Adapter, ArrayList etc
In this post I will describe how to populate ListView with database.

Have a look at my previous post
Populating ListView with Custom Adapter
Populating ListView with ArrayList
ExpandableListView In Android

To learn Basic of Android Animation  go to  Android Animation Basics 

If you want to show Items in ListView with Header you should use ExpandableListView .  To Learn how to use ExpandableListView    read my post   ExpandableListView In Android

ListView with DataBase Example


In this example I have created a listView  and populated it with DataBAse.
Each of the ListView item contain two views
TextView SMS Sender : to show SMS Sender Number
TextView SMSBody : to show the SMS Body/content

Here the ListView shows the all the SMSes with Sender Number and SMSBody.


Add the following permission in your manifest file to read the SMS..
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS"/>
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS"/>


listview_activity_main.xml


<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#D1FFFF"
    android:orientation="vertical">
   
   
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listViewSMS"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:dividerHeight="0.1dp"
        android:divider="#0000CC"
        >
    </ListView>
   
  </LinearLayout>



listview_each_item.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="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textViewSMSSender"
        android:paddingLeft="2dp"
        android:textSize="20dp"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textColor="#0000FF"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="TextView" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textViewMessageBody"
        android:paddingLeft="5dp"
        android:textColor="#5C002E"
        android:textSize="17dp"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="TextView" />

</LinearLayout>

    1. Hi Niiaou
      Look carefully at lines
      // get the cursor
      cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);

      // create an Adapter with arguments layoutID, Cursor, Array Of Columns, and Array of Views which is to be Populated
      // here we are connecting with database
      SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.each_contact, cursor, arrayColumns, arrayViewID);
