How to update listview whose data was queried from database through SimpleCursorAdapter?



I want to show the items queried from database in the listview with SimpleCursorAdapter. For example, there may be 20,000 items in the database. I want to just load 100 items(_id : 1-100) queried instead of load all items, when scrolling in the end of listview, load another 100 items(_id : 101-200) queried, how to achieve it? Any suggestion is welcome, thanks.





Relative codes are as follows:







protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

mCursor = managedQuery(CONTENT_URI, PROJECTION, null, null, "_id DESC");

mAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,R.layout.list_content, mCursor, keys, values);

setListAdapter(mAdapter);

}







In my defined listview, i want to load more items by query database.







public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem, int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount)

{

int lastItem = firstVisibleItem + visibleItemCount - 1;



if (mListAdapter != null) {

if ((lastItem == mListAdapter.getCount()-1) && (mRefreshState != REFRESHING)) {

mFooterView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

mRefreshState = REFRESHING;

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

public void run() {

//execute the task , i want to load more items by query database

RefreshListView(LOADING_STORED_INFO);

}

}, DEFAULT_DELAY_TIMER);

}

}

}







In the AsyncTask loading data, i do the query operation.







protected Integer doInBackground(Integer... params)

{

Uri uri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(CONTENT_URI, mCursor.getInt(0)-1);

cursor = managedQuery(uri, PROJECTION, null, null, "_id DESC");

return (0 == params[0]) ? 1 : 0;

}



@Override

protected void onPostExecute(Integer result)

{

mAdapter.changeCursor(cursor);//is this OK?

mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

/*

if (1 == result)

{

mListView.setSelection(1);

}

else

{

mListView.setSelection(mCount-1);

}*/

// Call onRefreshComplete when the list has been refreshed.

mListView.onRefreshComplete(result);

super.onPostExecute(result);

}

  1. Use the LIMIT statement in the SQL query in this way:

    SELECT your_column FROM your_table ORDER BY your_order LIMIT limit_skip, limit_count


    Then you can use a OnScrollListener to retrieve the index of the first visible cell and the number of visible cells so you can increment limit_skip and limit_count coherently.

    Instead of the generic AsyncTask use a CursorLoader and implement LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> as follow:

    public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int id, Bundle args){
    String orderBy = "_id DESC"
    if(args != null){
    orderBy += " LIMIT " + args.getInt("LIMIT_SKIP") + "," + args.getInt("LIMIT_COUNT");
    }

    return new CursorLoader(this /*context*/, CONTENT_URI, PROJECTION, null, null, orderBy);
    }

    public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor data){
    listAdapter.swapCursor(data);
    }

    public void onLoaderReset(Loader<Cursor> loader){
    listAdapter.swapCursor(null);
    }


    Then, in onCreate(), pass null as cursor to new SimpleCursorAdapter() and create the CursorLoader in this way:

    getLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this /*LoaderCallbacks<Cursor>*/);


    Then, in onScroll(), reset everytime the loader in this way:

    Bundle args = new Bundle();
    args.putInt("LIMIT_SKIP", limit_skip_value);
    args.putInt("LIMIT_COUNT", limit_count_value);
    getLoaderManager().restartLoader(0, args, this /*LoaderCallbacks<Cursor>*/);

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
