I am trying to make a drag-and-drop list for a little game app I am writing.
There are 6 entries in the list. However the library I added required a Cursor object that talks to a DB. This is overkill for my situation.
Is there a way to create a Cursor object that is based on a memory-based data structure like an array? Is there a way I can used a hard-coded array as my Cursor?
Thanks
Check out the MatrixCursor
documentation. Check for instance this example.
String[] columns = new String[] { "_id", "item", "description" };
MatrixCursor matrixCursor= new MatrixCursor(columns);
startManagingCursor(matrixCursor);
matrixCursor.addRow(new Object[] { 1, "Item A", "...." });
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter =
new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.layout_row, matrixCursor, ...);
setListAdapter(adapter);
maybe you can check MatrixCursor class that you can call addRow((Iterable<?> columnValues)
or addRow(Object[] columnValues)
hope that will help
use MatrixCursor, instead of addRow() which is not very handy, use builder method newRow()
