    <p>I give up. I use substring a lot but this time I cannot make it work. I am selecting a contact from a spinner (that is populated with the contacts of the phone) and I want the surname of that selected contact. Part of the code:</p> <p>public class MyOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener {</p> <pre><code>public void onItemSelected(AdapterView&lt;?&gt; parent, View view, int pos, long id) { selectedname = parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString(); sn = selectedname .indexOf(' '); String selectedname2= selectedname.substring(1, 3); //force close line } public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView parent) { } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>The selectedname and sn variables return real values. e.g. the</p> <pre><code> BtnOK = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Button01); BtnOK.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { Toast.makeText(Alarm.this, "selname: " + selectedname + "-" + sn, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } }); </code></pre> <p>returns selname: Anna-4</p> <p>But if i include the <code>String selectedname2= selectedname.substring(1, 3);</code> line, it force closes. Any ideas?</p> <p>Logcat:</p> <pre><code>07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1579) 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): at com.bfarago.app.Alarm$MyOnItemSelectedListener.onItemSelected(Alarm.java:577) 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): at android.widget.AdapterView.fireOnSelected(AdapterView.java:864) 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): at android.widget.AdapterView.access$200(AdapterView.java:42) 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): at android.widget.AdapterView$SelectionNotifier.run(AdapterView.java:830) 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:587) 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:92) 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4627) 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:868) 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:626) 07-04 17:05:32.140: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(280): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) </code></pre> <p>Line 577 is <code>String selectedname2= selectedname.substring(1, 3);</code></p> <p>This line would be <code>String selectedname2= selectedname.substring(1, sn);</code>, i was just trying to figure out what is wrong.</p> <p><strong>Edit2: Whole code:</strong></p> <pre><code>public class Alarm extends Activity { public ArrayList&lt;String&gt; myArr = new ArrayList&lt;String&gt;(); String contactName; int spaceIndex, spaceLastIndex, spaceIndex2; String selectedname; String selectedname2; int sn; int selnamelength; String[] words; String surname; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.alarm); contactName = null; Context context = getApplicationContext(); Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null); while (cursor.moveToNext()) { contactName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)); spaceIndex = contactName.indexOf(' '); spaceLastIndex = contactName.lastIndexOf(' '); if (spaceIndex &gt; 0) {myArr.add(contactName);} else if (spaceLastIndex &gt; 0) {myArr.add(contactName);} else {myArr.add(contactName);} } myArr.add(""); Collections.sort(myArr); Spinner sp1 = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.Spinner01); final ArrayAdapter adapter3 = new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, myArr); sp1.setAdapter(adapter3); sp1.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener()); } public class MyOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener { public void onItemSelected(AdapterView&lt;?&gt; parent, View view, int pos, long id) { selectedname = parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString(); sn = selectedname.indexOf(' '); selnamelength = selectedname.length(); selectedname2 = selectedname.substring(1, 3); //force closes if (!selectedname.equals("")) { Toast.makeText(Alarm.this, "selectedname.length = " + selnamelength, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); //This is working } } public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView parent) { } } } </code></pre> <p>By the way, split() function is working...</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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
