SimpleCursorAdapter


class SimpleCursorAdapter : ResourceCursorAdapter


Static library support version of the framework's android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter. Used to write apps that run on platforms prior to Android 3.0. When running on Android 3.0 or above, this implementation is still used; it does not try to switch to the framework's implementation. See the framework SDK documentation for a class overview.

Summary

Nested types

This class can be used by external clients of SimpleCursorAdapter to define how the Cursor should be converted to a String.

This class can be used by external clients of SimpleCursorAdapter to bind values fom the Cursor to views.

Public constructors

SimpleCursorAdapter(
    context: Context!,
    layout: Int,
    c: Cursor!,
    from: Array<String!>!,
    to: IntArray!
)

This function is deprecated.

This option is discouraged, as it results in Cursor queries being performed on the application's UI thread and thus can cause poor responsiveness or even Application Not Responding errors.

    context: Context!,
    layout: Int,
    c: Cursor!,
    from: Array<String!>!,
    to: IntArray!,
    flags: Int
)

Standard constructor.

Parameters
context: Context!

The context where the ListView associated with this SimpleListItemFactory is running

layout: Int

resource identifier of a layout file that defines the views for this list item. The layout file should include at least those named views defined in "to"

c: Cursor!

The database cursor. Can be null if the cursor is not available yet.

from: Array<String!>!

A list of column names representing the data to bind to the UI. Can be null if the cursor is not available yet.

to: IntArray!

The views that should display column in the "from" parameter. These should all be TextViews. The first N views in this list are given the values of the first N columns in the from parameter. Can be null if the cursor is not available yet.

flags: Int

Flags used to determine the behavior of the adapter, as per CursorAdapter.

Public functions

bindView

Added in 1.1.0-alpha01
fun bindView(view: View!, context: Context!, cursor: Cursor!): Unit

Binds all of the field names passed into the "to" parameter of the constructor with their corresponding cursor columns as specified in the "from" parameter. Binding occurs in two phases. First, if a android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter.ViewBinder is available, setViewValue is invoked. If the returned value is true, binding has occured. If the returned value is false and the view to bind is a TextView, setViewText is invoked. If the returned value is false and the view to bind is an ImageView, setViewImage is invoked. If no appropriate binding can be found, an IllegalStateException is thrown.

Throws
java.lang.IllegalStateException

if binding cannot occur

changeCursorAndColumns

Added in 1.0.0
fun changeCursorAndColumns(c: Cursor!, from: Array<String!>!, to: IntArray!): Unit

Change the cursor and change the column-to-view mappings at the same time.

Parameters
c: Cursor!

The database cursor. Can be null if the cursor is not available yet.

from: Array<String!>!

A list of column names representing the data to bind to the UI. Can be null if the cursor is not available yet.

to: IntArray!

The views that should display column in the "from" parameter. These should all be TextViews. The first N views in this list are given the values of the first N columns in the from parameter. Can be null if the cursor is not available yet.

convertToString

fun convertToString(cursor: Cursor!): CharSequence!

Returns a CharSequence representation of the specified Cursor as defined by the current CursorToStringConverter. If no CursorToStringConverter has been set, the String conversion column is used instead. If the conversion column is -1, the returned String is empty if the cursor is null or Cursor.toString().

Parameters
cursor: Cursor!

the Cursor to convert to a CharSequence

Returns
CharSequence!

a non-null CharSequence representing the cursor

getCursorToStringConverter

getStringConversionColumn

Added in 1.0.0
fun getStringConversionColumn(): Int

Return the index of the column used to get a String representation of the Cursor.

Returns
Int

a valid index in the current Cursor or -1

getViewBinder

fun getViewBinder(): SimpleCursorAdapter.ViewBinder!

Returns the ViewBinder used to bind data to views.

Returns
SimpleCursorAdapter.ViewBinder!

a ViewBinder or null if the binder does not exist

setCursorToStringConverter

Added in 1.0.0
fun setCursorToStringConverter(
    cursorToStringConverter: SimpleCursorAdapter.CursorToStringConverter!

the Cursor to String converter, or null to remove the converter

setStringConversionColumn

Added in 1.0.0
fun setStringConversionColumn(stringConversionColumn: Int): Unit

Defines the index of the column in the Cursor used to get a String representation of that Cursor. The column is used to convert the Cursor to a String only when the current CursorToStringConverter is null.

Parameters

a valid index in the current Cursor or -1 to use the default conversion mechanism

setViewBinder

Parameters
viewBinder: SimpleCursorAdapter.ViewBinder!

the binder used to bind data to views, can be null to remove the existing binder

setViewImage

Added in 1.0.0
fun setViewImage(v: ImageView!, value: String!): Unit

Called by bindView() to set the image for an ImageView but only if there is no existing ViewBinder or if the existing ViewBinder cannot handle binding to an ImageView. By default, the value will be treated as an image resource. If the value cannot be used as an image resource, the value is used as an image Uri. Intended to be overridden by Adapters that need to filter strings retrieved from the database.

Parameters
v: ImageView!

ImageView to receive an image

value: String!

the value retrieved from the cursor

setViewText

Parameters
v: TextView!

TextView to receive text

text: String!

swapCursor

fun swapCursor(newCursor: Cursor!): Cursor!

Parameters
newCursor: Cursor!

The new cursor to be used.

Returns
Cursor!

Returns the previously set Cursor, or null if there was not one. If the given new Cursor is the same instance is the previously set Cursor, null is also returned.
