    <p>I am very new to android development. I am trying to create a simple two activities based ebbok type application where <code>activity1</code> is table of content and <code>activity2</code> displays the details. I have a listview in Activity1 where I list the table of content. On clicking any specific content, I load <code>activity2</code>. In <code>onCreate</code> of <code>activity2</code>, I load the content into a string(from a txt file in assets). and display that in textView (as defined in <code>activity2</code>.xml). So far so good. The challenge now is to display the content page-wise because, as of now all of my string gets loaded into a single page in <code>activity2</code>. So I added two buttons at the bottom of <code>activity2</code> (defined that in <code>activity2.xml</code>). My planned logic now is</p> <ol> <li>get the screen height (I could get that)</li> <li>get the botton height and substract 2) from 1). Now I cannot do this becuase I cannot get button height in <code>onCreate</code> of <code>Activity2</code></li> <li>and then find how much text I can fit in one page, find number of pages accordingly, use a page index and using a page delimiter, keep loading remaining text into next pages when user clicks "next" button.</li> </ol> <p>So i need help with -how to get button width as I have mentioned in 2) -and any sample code you can share to perform 3) above will also help me.</p> <p>any help here from any one of you experts out there will be much appreciated.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
