I'm trying to adapt the HelloGridView example so that I can show image thumbnails of images stored on the SD instead of images in the res/drawable. The idea is to create a list with the images first in the ImageView.initialize() function and the use it pretty much exactly as in the example.
I'm having trouble with my cursor, first I tried to have it as private in the Imageview.initialize() function (it's only commented away so you can see where I had it) since to me it seems like it is only being used there but then I got the error "Attempted to access a cursor after it has been closed." in the onCreate() function at the line
gridview.setAdapter(imageAdapter);
so this line obviously uses it somehow. Next try was to have the cursor as "global" and close it after that line instead but i get the same error but now when I'm leaving the onCreate(). This is how the code is now and I have no clue what to do. Also if you find anything else that looks odd please let me know since I'm very very new at android and java.
