  1. Dear Sir,

    How can I design a combobox with list of items in the store in the program of business app? On selection from the dropdown list, its detail (balance quantity, price etc.) should appear in the textbox. Is it possible?

    Thanks a lot Sir.

    Fysal Usman

    • I think you can design a listview as shown in the below video to display the data from the db:
      https://programmerworld.co/android/how-to-develop-an-android-app-for-your-retail-business-b2c-using-firebase-database-source-code/

      To choose what to display (like balance quantity, price, etc.), you can implement a drop-down or radio buttons or check-box option. Based on the selection, the output of the listview can be shown.

      An example from the above link’s code is:

      myRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
      @Override
      public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
      ValueDatabase = dataSnapshot.getValue().toString();
      refinedData = ValueDatabase.substring(1,ValueDatabase.length()-1);
      String List[] = refinedData.split(“,”);
      if(){
      listView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(MainActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, List));
      }
      }

      Hope above helps.

      Good Luck

  2. Thank you very much Sir. As always you are very quick to respond and help, which I value above all. I will, God willing, try as per your guidelines. If I stumble at any obstacle, let me contact you for your usual help and support.

    Thanking you once again, I remain,

    Very truly yours,

  3. Sir, One more thing. Your program uses firebase database. I am using MS Sql database. How can I change the codes changing from firebase database to MS Sql?

    Fysal Usman

    • For changing the code from Firebase to SQL, instead of ‘dataSnapshot’ in the below (Firebase code):

      public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
      ValueDatabase = dataSnapshot.getValue().toString();
      refinedData = ValueDatabase.substring(1,ValueDatabase.length()-1);
      String List[] = refinedData.split(“,”);
      listView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(MainActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, List));

      }

      Use ‘Cursor’ as shown in the below SQLite database code:

      Cursor myCursor = myDB.rawQuery(query, null);
      if (myCursor.moveToFirst()){
      myCursor.moveToFirst();
      textViewDisplay.setText(myCursor.getString(0) + ” — ” + myCursor.getString(1));
      }

      You can refer to the below page in which it uses Sqlite database. Sqlite and MS Sql db concept will be similar.

    • Dear Sir,

      After watching your both videos, which have pushed the frontier of my knowledge (at first it was zero) very far, I feel I need some more to meet my requirement. What I need is, instead of typing what I want to search, I should be able to pick from a dropdown list. This is because, the list of commodities are too many, and their names are not familiar, therefore, typing may result it spell mistake aborting my search. Can spinner (the android term for combobox) meet my requirement? If so, can you help me to code for that? I would ever remain grateful to you for that.

      Thanks a lot Sir.

      Fysal Usman

      • Yes, spinner will do the job.

        Below is a sample example of spinner I implemented:

        XML file (for layout design):

        And then in the Java code:

        private Spinner spinner;

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        spinner = findViewById(R.id.spinner);
        spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

        }

        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {
        switch (position) {
        case 0:
        // TODO … action
        break;
        case 1:
        // TODO … action
        break;
        case 2:
        // TODO … action
        break;

        }
        }

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView parent) {

        }

        In the onItemSelected method, either you can use position or id in the switch case.

        The layout should appear with below options in spinner:
        Home
        Work
        Other
        Custom

        Cheers

  4. Dear Sir,

    I created spinner with your help, but when I ran it, message in the emulator saying the app has stopped. I am copy pasting the codes hereunder. If you can advise me where I have erred, that would be the greatest help I get from anybody.

    Activity_main.xml

    AndroidManifest.xml

    Thanks a lot Sir.

  5. Dear Sir,

    It seems I missed to copy-paste Activity_main.xml and AndroidManifest.xml. I am giving them hereunder

    AndroidManifest.xml

    Activity_main.xml

  6. I tried twice, but these xml files seem not being posted. If you give me your email, I can send them attaching as a text file or word file.

    Thanks a lot Sir.

  7. Dear Sir,

    When I checked the logcat, I found this line which appears to be forcing to stop the app:

    java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.mobledger/com.example.mobledger.MainActivity}: java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.

    How to resolve this problem

    Thanks a lot Sir

    Fysal Usman

  8. Dear Sir,

    The abovementioned problem is solved as I changed ‘public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity’ to ‘public class MainActivity extends Activity’. After that, a new exception is thrown. In the logcat it says, ‘Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke interface method ‘java.sql.PreparedStatement java.sql.Connection.prepareStatement(java.lang.String)’ on a null object reference’. The referred sql statement is this:

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    ip = “192.168.18.18”;
    un = “sa”;
    passwords = “12345678”;
    db = “SelectionShoes”;
    //server = “DESKTOP-63BPLJG”;

    spinneritems = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinneritems);

    connect = CONN(un, passwords, db, ip);
    String query = “select Name from Folio”;

    try {
    connect = CONN(un, passwords, db, ip);
    stmt = connect.prepareStatement(query);
    rs = stmt.executeQuery();
    ArrayList data = new ArrayList();
    while (rs.next()) {
    String id = rs.getString(“Name”);
    data.add(id);

    }
    String[] array = data.toArray(new String[0]);
    ArrayAdapter NoCoreAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
    android.R.layout.list_content, data);
    spinneritems.setAdapter(NoCoreAdapter);
    } catch (SQLException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();

    I should feel obliged and remain ever grateful to you for helping to solve this problem.
