using arraylist to populate the existing data in sqlite into spinner

Hi guys i have trouble to bind the existing data from sqlite to spinner. Do i have to apply arraylist ? If so how do i do it? Please help me i'm still new and this is for my project.
this is how the data taken from database :
public Cursor alldata()
{
ArrayList<String> values = new ArrayList<String>();
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery("Select * from shop", null);
return cursor;
}
this is the coding that supposedly to receive the data and show it on spinner but i have no idea to do it :
SpListofShop = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.SpListofShop);
Cursor cursor = db.alldata();
if(cursor.getCount()==0)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "NO DATA", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else
{
while(cursor.moveToNext())
{
}
}
i really hope any of you can help me i'm too desperate
Coding to call the public arraylist function
this is the coding to call the public arraylist in databasehelper.java :
Spinner SpListofShop = findViewById(R.id.SpListofShop);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, db.alldata());
adapter.setDropDownViewResource( android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
SpListofShop.setAdapter(adapter);

1.change alldata as follows:
public ArrayList<String> alldata()
{
ArrayList<String> values = new ArrayList<String>();
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery("Select * from shop", null);
for (int i=0;i<cursor.getCount();i++){
values.add(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("row_name")));
//edit, change row_name with your row
}
cursor.close();
return values;
}
2.change spinner code like this:
Spinner SpListofShop = findViewById(R.id.SpListofShop);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, alldata());
adapter.setDropDownViewResource( android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
SpListofShop.setAdapter(adapter);

How to add data from an SQLite Database into an ArrayList (Android)

I'm relatively new to Android and I was making a To-Do List application. I have a database containing a column of tasks. How can I put these tasks into an ArrayList and display it ?
helper = new TaskDBHelper(MainActivity.this);
SQLiteDatabase db = helper.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.query(TaskContract.TABLE, new String[]{TaskContract.Columns._ID,TaskContract.Columns.TASK}, null, null, null, null, null);
arrayListToDo = new ArrayList<String>();
arrayAdapterToDo = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, arrayListToDo);
ListView listViewToDo = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listViewToDo);
listViewToDo.setAdapter(arrayAdapterToDo);

Try this code
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
arrayListToDo.add(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("Your column name")));
}

You can get the data in Array list :-
ArrayList<String> arrayListToDo= new ArrayList<String>();
//your query will returns cursor
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
arrayListToDo.add(get you string from cursor);
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
now add this aray list to your Adapter.

get list data from database this is only overview
ArrayList<String> data = databaseObject.GetList();
ListView listViewToDo = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listViewToDo);
arrayAdapterToDo = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, data);
listViewToDo.setAdapter(arrayAdapterToDo);
ArrayList<String> GetList()
{
ArrayList<String> arrayListtemp= new ArrayList<String>();
SQLiteDatabase db = helper.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.query(TaskContract.TABLE, new String[]{TaskContract.Columns._ID,TaskContract.Columns.TASK}, null, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
arrayListtemp.add("");// added your table value from database
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
return arrayListtemp;
}

How to bind spinner in android using sqlite?

I have a table containing
------------------------
id |Name
------------------------
16001 |ABC
16002 |QWE
16003 |RTY
16004 |JHG
and bind it to a spinner; spinner item with name, and spinneritemposition with id.
I try this so far:
ArrayAdapter<String> dataAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, lables);
// Drop down layout style - list view with radio button
dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_ite‌​m);
List<String> lables = dataSource.getAllmothers();
public List<String> getAllmothers()
{
List<String> labels = new ArrayList<String>();
database = dbHelper.getReadableDatabase(); // Select All Query
String selectQuery = "SELECT id,name FROM "+dbHelper.TABLE_REGISTRATION;
Cursor cursor = database.rawQuery(selectQuery, null); // looping through all rows and adding to list
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do
{
labels.add(Integer.toString(cursor.getInt(0)));
labels.add(cursor.getString(1));
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
} // closing connection
cursor.close();
database.close(); // returning lables
return labels;
}

create Array Adapter like this
ArrayAdapter ad=new ArrayAdapter(cureentclass,dropdownstyle,values)
values is what u r getting through the database values variable and add the bind the Array Adapter to the spinner.

Android Spinner is empty

There are no errors in my code. It works just fine except that the Spinner isn't populated from the database as expected. Rather, it is empty. Please help!!
Retrieve Records from SQLite:
// get all contacts
public List getAllNames() {
List names = new ArrayList();
// Select All Query
String selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM " + TABLE_NAME;
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
// looping through all rows and adding to list
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
names.add(cursor.getString(1));
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
// closing connection
db.close();
// returning contacts
return names;
}
Load Spinner:
private void loadSpinnerData() {
// database handler
DatabaseHandler db = new DatabaseHandler(getApplicationContext());
// Spinner Drop down elements
List<String> contacts = db.getAllNames();
// Creating adapter for spinner
ArrayAdapter<String> dataAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, contacts);
// Drop down layout style - list view with radio button
dataAdapter
.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
// attaching data adapter to spinner
spinner.setAdapter(dataAdapter);
}
I guess all it needs is a minor tweak somewhere, but I don't understand where. Thanks in advance!

SQLite to ListView(androidhive's version)

I am trying to insert data from SQLite to a listview. I have tried look for example codes but they do not work. The database part is from AndroidHive's SQL tutorial. In his post the code to get all data in DB is(i edited the data fields) :
// Getting All carts item
public List<Cart> getAllCart() {
List<Cart> cartList = new ArrayList<Cart>();
// Select All Query
String selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM " + TABLE;
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
// looping through all rows and adding to list
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
Cart cart = new Cart();
cart.setID(Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(0)));
cart.setPID(Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(1)));
cart.setName(cursor.getString(2));
cart.setPrice(Double.parseDouble(cursor.getString(3)));
cart.setQut(Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(4)));
// Adding cart to list
cartList.add(cart);
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
// return cart list
return cartList;
}
how do put this "getAllCart()" to my listview. Thanks alot!!

to get data from SQLite you can try like this:
public List<String[]> selectAll()
{
List<String[]> list = new ArrayList<String[]>();
Cursor cursor = db.query(TABLE_NAME, new String[] { "id","name","number","skypeId","address" },
null, null, null, null, "name asc");
int x=0;
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
String[] b1=new String[]{cursor.getString(0),cursor.getString(1),cursor.getString(2),cursor.getString(3),cursor.getString(4)};
list.add(b1);
x=x+1;
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
if (cursor != null && !cursor.isClosed()) {
cursor.close();
}
cursor.close();
return list;
}
and to show it in a list view :
List<String[]> list = new ArrayList<String[]>();
List<String[]> names2 =null ;
names2 = dm.selectAll();
stg1=new String[names2.size()];
int x=0;
String stg;
for (String[] name : names2) {
stg = name[1]+" - "+name[2]+ " - "+name[3]+" - "+name[4];
stg1[x]=stg;
x++;
}
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
stg1);
this.setListAdapter(adapter);
}
refer this tutorial you will get an idea: http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidSQLite/article.html

you will need to create an Database class instance in your Activity or ListActivity to access getAllCart as
public class TempActivity extends Activity {
DatabaseHandler db;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
db = new DatabaseHandler(TempActivity.this);
// Reading all Carts
List<Cart> Carts = db.getAllCart(); //<< get all Cart details here
//... your code here..
and for showing Carts ArrayList values in ListView you will need to create an Custom Adapter for Adding all items in ListView rows .
for Create ListView with Custom Adapter you can view these tutorials :
