I have 2 columns of data in my database in Android application. I want to display this data via a table format in my application. Please help me.
For example, I have employeename and department coulmns in the database. I want to retrieve this data and show it in a table format like a table with 2 columns. One side employeename and next column their respective department in my Android application.
Unless you want user interact with the table, you can use webview and make it load table html. Advantage of this method is that you can make it as fancy as you want.
If you want interaction with the table, you'd better use listview with customized row layout, or even gridview would work too.

In one of my Parse.com classes/tables I'd like to have a column where another class/table can be stored for each row. As an example:
An User table with a Clothes row, in which a table with the name and color of each of the user's items can be stored.
I've done this using relations but was wondering if there's a way to do it without having to create another table and making a relation to it, since that creates two tables (the table itself and the relation). I'm just trying to make it so Parse.com has the least stress so querys or any method can be done in the least time.
Thanks, if I didn't make myself clear please ask.
say i have a database with a table in it, and the table contained data in the following layout:
Name type difficulty
-------------------------------------
Test1 polo 7
Test2 golf 2
Test3 vw 8
Test4 vectra 100
Now imagine that the list goes down to Test100. How would I utilize a listview to show the data in four neat columns with each listview element showing 1 row of the table?
It doesn't have to use sql databases, if it can be done in xml, i can work with that
I have looked around at lots of database tutorials, but i want to use a table that does not have to be added to the device first. So maybe a different format would be better?
Thanks
While retrieving data, write query accordingly to your required sorting order.
Use list view with list item of 3 textviews having weights.
I am looking for a simple way to display data from DB on the phone screen. Best I would like to create a table (not DB table, but table on the screen) which would display all the data I want. Is there any easy way to do it? The only idea I have is by using custom listView, but I'm not sure it will work as I want it to. I don't want to be able to interact with a table, just to be able to display the data.
Use a CursorAdapter to bind the queried Cursor to your ListView. Make sure you query for the Cursor on a background thread with a CursorLoader for the most responsive user experience.
I have created a SQLite DB, in this DB is a whole wack of invoices, each invoice has a customer ID or supplier ID depending on if the invoice is a sale or an expense respectively.
Basically, what I am trying to do is query the DB, grab a list of all invoices by whatever customer ID or supplier ID is selected, and display all the invoices for this customer or supplier in a multi-column listview. I have already created the multi-column listview, it is driven by an xml template for each row which is basically a linearlayout with 4 textview's, one for each column.
This being said, there are 4 values from each invoice I would like to populate the listview with. I assume that if I create an ArrayList, add each invoice as it's own row (also an array of the 4 values I need per invoice), I will get a nice and easy multi-dimensional ArrayList that I can simply loop through to populate the listview.
Before I dive into the code, I want to ensure this is the best approach, perhaps there is a method I am missing? I was surprised I couldn't find multi-column listviews, so you never know!
Thanks!
If your ListView is meant to show items from a SQLite DB you want to write a CursorAdapter instead of reading the whole result set into an ArrayList. CursorAdapters can display each row from a query efficiently and help you easily reflect any changes to the backing data that happen while the user is viewing it.

I am building one app which is a copy of a website.
In that website they showed some bulk of data in a table view (with multiple rows and columns)
I want to show the same bulk of data in android mobile.
But the problem is which widget will be reliable to show large amount of data (like table). And which widget will give efficient and professional look.
Please suggest some widget or views
For a static (predefined/known)
content you can use TableLayout,
as in this example,
For dynamically populate the table
you should use a GridView
(considering as an option the
ListView as well: if you don't
have many columns, an proper item
renderer would be more efficient).
