Cursor c = db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM TABLE_NAME", null); while(c.moveToNext()){ int id = c.getInt(0); String title = c.getString(1); String body = c.getString(2); String bodyTranslated = c.getString(3); } This above code shows that the data is fetched from database and the cursor object is used to get the data and show it on the screen.

I find this more difficult than working on an XML file. You could (and probably should) create custom dialogs that have their own view/XML file. To do this, extend DialogFragment: public class MyDialog extends DialogFragment { EditText editText; @Override public Dialog onCreateDialog(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) { AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity()); // get your custom layout LayoutInflater inflater = getActivity().getLayoutInflater(); View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_custom_layout, null); builder.setView(view).setCancelable(false); editText = view.findViewById(R.id.editText); // add your code here } } XML (R.layout.my_custom_layout): <?xml ve

I'm currently having trouble setting up my custom listener. I just want to pass a string from my dialog to my fragment (where I set up the dialog). I was trying to follow this tutorial: [this video] . At minute 10:38, he sets up the listener. This only problem is that in this, he uses DialogFragment, but I'm extending dialog and I don't know how to attach the context to the listener. I've tried to set it up in onAttachedToWindow() and in the dialog constructor but it crashes. What should I actually do? I'd also appreciate it if someone could explain what the difference is between: onAttachedToWindow() vs. onAttach(Context context). Thanks! MY CUSTOM DIALOG BOX: public class NewListDialog extends

I want to make a dialog that pops up if you click on a Name TextView in my ListView. So I've been following this youtube tutorial: [this video] and he makes a dialog that pops up from his MainActivity. But I want to pop it up from my ListView, so from my Adapter. Because of that I can't call getSupportFragmentManager() . I think it's because my Adapter does extend ArrayAdapter<> instead of AppCompatActivity. Can anyone help me? It goes wrong when I say: changeNameDialog.show(getSupportFragmetnManager(), "Change Name Dialog"); public class PlayersAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Player> { Tournament tournament = new Tournament(); private LayoutInflater Inflater; public PlayersAdapter(@NonNull Context
