rawquery dynamic where clause condition in android?

I'm new to android and using sqlite rawquery dynamic where clause condition for the first time and didn't know how to use it. I want to give dynamic value to where clause to get the listview according to particular "mid". How to provide the mid value from SubjectActivty
Here is my code:
TestTable:
public long insert(String id, String time, int mid, String cmarks, String nmarks,
String questions, String testType, String test,String marks) {
log("insert test : " + test);
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(KEY_TESTID, id);
values.put(KEY_MID,mid);
values.put(KEY_TEST, test);
values.put(KEY_TIME, time);
values.put(KEY_CMARK, cmarks);
values.put(KEY_NMARK, nmarks);
values.put(KEY_TESTTYPE, testType);
values.put(KEY_QUESTION, questions);
values.put(KEY_Total_Marks, marks);
return db.insert(TABLE_NAME2, null, values);
}
public ArrayList<NotificationListItem> getAllList(
ArrayList<NotificationListItem> privateArrayList) {
openToRead();
privateArrayList.clear();
Cursor cursor = null;
String sql ="SELECT * FROm test_list WHERE mid=?";
cursor= db.rawQuery(sql, null);
log("getAlllist() cursor : " + cursor.getCount());
if (cursor != null) {
log("getAlllist() cursor not null ");
int index = 0;
cursor.moveToFirst();
while (index < cursor.getCount()) {
NotificationListItem item = new NotificationListItem();
int idIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(TestTable.KEY_TESTID);
int subid= cursor.getColumnIndex(TestTable.KEY_MID);
int nameIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(TestTable.KEY_TEST);
int idTime = cursor.getColumnIndex(TestTable.KEY_TIME);
int cMarks = cursor.getColumnIndex(TestTable.KEY_CMARK);
int nMarks = cursor.getColumnIndex(TestTable.KEY_NMARK);
int testTypeIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(TestTable.KEY_TESTTYPE);
int questions = cursor.getColumnIndex(TestTable.KEY_QUESTION);
item.name = cursor.getString(nameIndex);

Any answer will be helpfull for me to proceed.

Replace this code :
ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();
Calendar c_start = Calendar.getInstance();
c_start.set(2014,2,4,0,0); //Note that months start from 0 (January)
Calendar c_end = Calendar.getInstance();

String selection = "((dtstart >= "+c_start.getTimeInMillis()+") AND (dtend <= "+c_end.getTimeInMillis()+"))";
String[] selectionArgs = new String[] {startString, endString};
cursor = contentResolver.query(Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events"),
(new String[] { "calendar_id", "title", "description", "dtstart", "dtend", "eventLocation"})
,null,selectionArgs,selection);
With this:
Uri l_eventUri;
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 8) {
l_eventUri = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events");
} else {
l_eventUri = Uri.parse("content://calendar/events");
}
ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();
String dtstart = "dtstart";
String dtend = "dtend";
String[] l_projection = new String[] { "title", "dtstart", "dtend" };
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
// Date dateCC = formatter.parse("04/27/2013");
Date dateCC = formatter.parse("11/13/2013");
calendar.setTime(dateCC);
long after = calendar.getTimeInMillis();
SimpleDateFormat formatterr = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy hh:mm:ss");
Calendar endOfDay = Calendar.getInstance();
Date dateCCC = formatterr.parse("17/13/2013 23:59:59");
// Date dateCCC = formatterr.parse(startDate + " 23:59:59");
endOfDay.setTime(dateCCC);
cursor= contentResolver.query(l_eventUri, new String[] { "title",

how to put progress bar in starting of a new activity

i Have two activities A and B. i used intent to jump from A to B. now in B.
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.list_main);
LoadData();
}
now in LoadData(), i have to load a lot of data, wo i want that when it B starts, it show a Progress bar and after loading the data, it jumps back to my activity B. how can I do this???
here is my load function
public void LoadData(Context context)
{
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP + " = '"

// Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null,
// null, null, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);
// Find the ListView resource.
Cursor cur;
cur = context.getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
null,
selection + " AND "
+ ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + "=1",
null, sortOrder);
mainListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.mainListView);
// When item is tapped, toggle checked properties of CheckBox and
// Planet.
mainListView
.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener()
{
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View item,
int position, long id)
{
ContactsList planet = listAdapter.getItem(position);
planet.toggleChecked();
PlanetViewHolder viewHolder = (PlanetViewHolder) item
.getTag();
viewHolder.getCheckBox().setChecked(planet.isChecked());
}
});
// Create and populate planets.
planets = (ContactsList[]) getLastNonConfigurationInstance();
// planets = new Planet[10];
// planets.Add("asdf");
ArrayList<ContactsList> planetList = new ArrayList<ContactsList>();
String phoneNumber = null;
String phoneType = null;
count = cur.getCount();
contacts = new ContactsList[count];
if (planets == null)
{
if (cur.getCount() > 0)
{
planets = new ContactsList[cur.getCount()];
int i = 0;
//
while (cur.moveToNext())
{
String id = cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String name = cur
.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
if (Integer
.parseInt(cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0)
{
// Query phone here. Covered next
Cursor pCur = cr
.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID
+ " = ?", new String[]
{ id }, null);
// WHILE WE HAVE CURSOR GET THE PHONE NUMERS
while (pCur.moveToNext())
{
// Do something with phones
phoneNumber = pCur
.getString(pCur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DATA));
phoneType = pCur
.getString(pCur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE));
Log.i("Pratik", name + "'s PHONE :" + phoneNumber);
Log.i("Pratik", "PHONE TYPE :" + phoneType);
}
pCur.close();
}
if (phoneNumber != null
&& !planetList.contains(new ContactsList(name,
phoneNumber)))
{
planets = new ContactsList[]
{ new ContactsList(name, phoneNumber) };
contacts[i] = planets[0];
planetList.addAll(Arrays.asList(planets));
}
phoneNumber = null;
i++;
}
}
// for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
// {
// Log.d("New Selected Names : ", contacts[i].getName());
// }
}
// Set our custom array adapter as the ListView's adapter.
listAdapter = new PlanetArrayAdapter(this, planetList);
mainListView.setAdapter(listAdapter);
Adapter adptr;
adptr = mainListView.getAdapter();
}

Please try this

You can call this using

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.list_main);
LoadData task = new LoadData();
task.execute();
}

I am agree with Kanaiya's answer because upto the API level-10 it is fine to call long running tasks on UI thread. But from API-11, any task that takes longer time (nearly more than 5 sec) to complete must be done on background thread. The reason behind this is any task that takes 5 seconds or more on UI thread then ANR(Application Not Responding) i.e. force close happens. To do that we have create some background thread or simply make use of AsyncTask.

You just need to call your LoadData() method in another thread.
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.list_main);
mDailog = ProgressDialog.show(ActivityA.this, "",
"Loading data....!!!", true);
mDailog.show();
new Thread() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
LoadData();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}.start();
}
Inside your LoadData(), at the end of the method use a handler to send a message to dismiss the progress bar dialog.
Hope this will help you to avoid the complex logic using AsyncTask.

Try this.
public class BActivtiy extends Activity implements Runnable{
#Override

Android Application doesn't start Service

Hey, I'm trying to implement a service on my Android Application. And the Service must do the same task of the Activity. IE, if some change happen on the CallLog.Calls content provider the service must be notified and insert the data in the database even if the application is not running, I mean, a service will be running after the application is started, so if the application is killed, the service will keep running until the OS stop it, right?
So it will be running on background collecting all data that changes on the CallLog.Calls service. But, the service is not running. I star it in onCreate() method of the Activity. And inside the Service I implemented a ContentObserver class that uses the method onChange() in case somethind changes in the CallLog.Calls content provider.
What I don't know is why the Service is not started, and why it doesn't work even if I kill the app on the DDMS perspective.
Here is the code.
The Activity called RatedCalls.java

Just see if you have added this Service in your manifest file.......
Thanks.......

When declaring the service in your manifest, try using the full package location of your service class in your manifest.
eg. <service android:name="com.company.project.package.MyService">
My service wasn't starting and that worked for me.

You might want to check out the service lifecycle documentation. If you call Context.startService() the service should start and stay running until someone tells it to stop.
From your code sample, it looks like you are doing that. What makes you think that the service isn't starting?
I'm not sure what you expect to happen when you kill the app... That sounds like a good reason for it not to work.

Hi instead of using a service and a content observer i would observe the phone state. Observing the phone state can trigger your update service.
You need the
android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
permission. which isn't a big affair.
The code for the broadcast receiver is
public class CallStateWatcher extends BroadcastReceiver
{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
if (intent.getAction().equals(android.telephony.TelephonyManager.ACTION_PHONE_STATE_CHANGED))
{
String extra = intent.getStringExtra(android.telephony.TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);
if (extra.equals(android.telephony.TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_OFFHOOK))
{
// do something
}
if (extra.equals(android.telephony.TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_IDLE))
{
// do something
}
}
}
}
You have to define that receiver
<receiver
android:name=".core.watcher.CallStateWatcher">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE"></action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
