Ok this should be straight forward but i'm having difficulty with it. So far i've got this code.
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
long id) {
// On selecting a spinner item
SpinnerFAQ = parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();
// Showing selected spinner item
Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), "You selected: " + SpinnerFAQ,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.faq_answer);
ExerciseData question = new ExerciseData(this);
question.open();
String answer = question.getFaqAnswer();
question.close();
tv.setText(answer);
}
SpinnerFAQ is a global variable and it stores the value of the spinner as String.
public String getFaqAnswer() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String[] columns = new String[] { FAQ_ROWID, FAQ_QUESTION, FAQ_ANSWER};
Cursor c = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE2, columns, null, null, null, null, null);
String result = "";
int iRow = c.getColumnIndex(FAQ_ROWID);
int iQuestion = c.getColumnIndex(FAQ_QUESTION);
int iAnswer = c.getColumnIndex(FAQ_ANSWER);
//c.getString(iRow) + " " +
for(c.moveToFirst(); !c.isAfterLast(); c.moveToNext())
{
if(FAQ.SpinnerFAQ == c.getString(iQuestion))
{
result = result + c.getString(iAnswer) + "\n";
break;
}
}
return result;
}
This is based on code I've already used, but basically I want to check the Spinner against the Question in my Database and if they match I want to change the Text View to the answer. Right now the FAQ.SpinnerFAQ works fine, but c.getString(iQuestion) always shows up as the last value in the database. This code "result = result + c.getString(iAnswer) + "\n";" works fine without the if statement, so I don't really understand why there is a problem with "c.getString(iQuestion)". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
