    <p>I kind of have a 2 part question here.</p> <p>1) How can I populate my ListView so that strings are what is displayed, but when items are selected, a non-visible id value (contact id from phone contacts) is the value that is actually used?</p> <p>2) I have a ListView that's using multipleChoice mode for item selections. It's popluated with names from my contacts list. When I select an item in the ListView, I want that selected item to trigger a call to my SqLite routine to store the value into a database record. How do I make this event fire when an item is checked in the listview?</p> <p>This is my layout XML;</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"&gt; &lt;ListView android:id="@+id/lvContacts" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:choiceMode="multipleChoice" /&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here is the code I am using to populate my ListView;</p> <pre><code> private void fillData() { final ArrayList&lt;String&gt; contacts = new ArrayList&lt;String&gt;(); // Let's set our local variable to a reference to our listview control // in the view. lvContacts = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lvContacts); String[] proj_2 = new String[] {Data._ID, Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE}; cursor = managedQuery(Phone.CONTENT_URI, proj_2, null, null, null); while(cursor.moveToNext()) { // Only add contacts that have mobile number entries if ( cursor.getInt(2) == Phone.TYPE_MOBILE ) { String name = cursor.getString(1); contacts.add(name); } } // Make the array adapter for the listview. final ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt; aa; aa = new ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt;(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, contacts); // Let's sort our resulting data alphabetically. aa.sort(new Comparator&lt;String&gt;() { public int compare(String object1, String object2) { return object1.compareTo(object2); }; }); // Give the list of contacts over to the list view now. lvContacts.setAdapter(aa); } </code></pre> <p>I had hoped to be able to use something like the onClick event for each checked item, but have made not one bit of progress.</p> <p>Any help would be so very appreciated. Thanks.</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.
