    <p>I have an application with multiple activities. In the main class I open a database and create a list of the content like so:</p> <pre><code>public class MyApplication extends Activity { private List&lt;PhoneNumber&gt; numberList; public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { ... numberList = new ArrayList&lt;PhoneNumber&gt;(); ... loadDatabase() ... } private void loadDatabase() { // File IO and parsing stuff addNumber(thisNumber); // executes for each entry } public void addNumber(PhoneNumber thisNumber) { numberList.add(thisNumber); } } </code></pre> <p>This works fine and I have a ListView in the main activity that is populated with this data. Now, moving on to the next step. I am trying to launch a form as a new activity that will add an entry to this list. The activity launches fine, and I was able to build a form easily. The problem is accessing the list to add to it.</p> <pre><code>public class AddNumber extends Activity { ... // This function is called from the done button // &lt;Button android:text="Done" android:onClick="formDone"/&gt; public void formDone(View v) { // findViewByIds here to get data from form. // This is done correctly and I can see my data in memory MyApplication access = new MyApplication(); PhoneNumber newNumber = new PhoneNumber(); // Fill newNumber object with data from form. Done correctly. Verified access.addNumber(newNumber); } </code></pre> <p>The last line of <code>formDone()</code> executes correctly. Through debugging I can step through to the Application class and it executes <code>addNumber()</code>. Before executing <code>numberList.add(thisNumber);</code> I can look at the contents of memory for the <code>thisNumber</code> object it is trying to add to the list and that data is correct. Attempting to execute that line though crashes the application in standard Android format. (Loads View.class with 'Source not found' followed by ZygoteInit$MethodBlahBlah).</p> <p>So I'm a little confused because it looks like the data being fed to <code>addNumber()</code> is correct, and the function works perfectly fine when the application first launches by building the list from the data in the database. Fundamentally, am I thinking about this correct? Should a form like this be it's own activity or is there a better way to do it? If it can be it's own activity, what am I doing wrong?</p> <p>Thanks,<br> Nate</p>

    1. COI have no idea what you're doing, but `Application access = new Application();` is never* valid in an application. *Ok maybe in certain circumstances, but not here.

    2. COI renamed the classes and objects so they would make sense with the amount of code I posted. Maybe I didn't do a great job at it... "Application" just refers to the main class. I am creating an object of the main class to access its member functions. How is that not valid? How else would I access the private list?

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.
