Retrieve data from a Cursor

Question

I have a database with only one table : notifications (which contains an id, a title, a note, etc) I'm trying to have an Activity that displays the title of the notifications through a ListActivity. And when the user clicks on one of the title, it displays the whole notification.

I have a Cursor that retrieves data from the database :

public Cursor getAllNotifications() {
return db.query(DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] { KEY_ROWID,
        KEY_DAYOFWEEK, KEY_HOUR_BEG, KEY_HOUR_END, KEY_ROOM,
        KEY_TEACHER, KEY_NOTE}, null, null, null,
        null, null);
}

In the class that extends ListActivity, I have a private String[] notificationsList;

but I don't know how to retrieve the data because the getAllNotifications() method returns a Cursor.

Answer 1

Use

cursor.getString(/**columnindex**/);

And similar functions : Refer http://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/Cursor.html
