Lets say I have the following (simple People/Phones list):



Each item contain Name, Number.
What if I want to edit all numbers representation (for example format it from XXXXXXX to XXX-XX-XX)?

How can I edit entities in adapter or create new adapter based on current, but modified?

Thanks.

You can overwrite the SimpleCursorAdapter!
Or you can write your own adapter. A good example ist here: List4
Or the easiest way is to format your Phones.NUMBER String.

I think the best way is write your own adapter.

>You can overwrite the SimpleCursorAdapter!
How? If you go to cursor doc
http://code.google.com/android/referenc ... ursor.html
it states "This interface provides random read-write access to the result set returned by a database query. "
And there are a whole bunch of Get* method (to read) and none Set* or smth (to write).

>Or the easiest way is to format your Phones.NUMBER String.

By this you mean to create function
String FormatNumber (String){..}
which return formated number and then use:


But it is not working, because it is coloumn name, and not the column content itself


>I think the best way is write your own adapter.
I do not think that this is a case, because I want to introduce a minor change into a built-in adapter.

Thanks.

By "overwrite" kodex means override one or more of SimpleCursorAdapter's methods to get the result you want. In your case you probably want to override bindView() or convertToString(). It really helps to have the source code of the class in question. I suggest you subclass SimpleCursorAdapter to make it easier.
