Hey, I'm trying to implement a ListView on Android, which will print the data retrieved from the SQLite Database. So I want to retrieve a lot of columns from the table and add this to a list, so I will print this list as a ListView.

For this I created a method that will select all the columns from the table in a separate class, and I will print the ListView in a ListActivity.

I want to retrieve 6 columns of the table, which is represented by the ids 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9.

But it shows a lot of errors:

Here is the code of the method that select the data.

public List<String> selectAll() {

    List<String> list1 = new ArrayList<String>();
    List<String> list2 = new ArrayList<String>();
    List<String> list3 = new ArrayList<String>();
    List<String> list4 = new ArrayList<String>();
    List<String> list5 = new ArrayList<String>();
    List<String> list6 = new ArrayList<String>();

    Cursor cursor = this.db.query(TABLE_NAME, null, null, null, null, null,
            "duration desc");

    if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
        do {

            list1.add(cursor.getString(2));
            list2.add(cursor.getString(4));
            list3.add(cursor.getString(5));
            list4.add(cursor.getString(6));
            list5.add(cursor.getString(7));
            list6.add(cursor.getString(9));

            list1.addAll(list2);
            list1.addAll(list3);
            list1.addAll(list4);
            list1.addAll(list5);
            list1.addAll(list6);

        } while (cursor.moveToNext());
        Log.i(TAG, "After cursor.moveToNext()");
    }
    if (cursor != null && !cursor.isClosed()) {
        cursor.close();
    }
    Log.i(TAG, "Before selectAll returnment");
    return list1;
}

And here is the code of the ListActivity class:

public class RatedCalls extends ListActivity {

private static final String LOG_TAG = "RatedCallsActivity";
private CallDataHelper cdh;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
OpenHelper openHelper = new OpenHelper(RatedCalls.this);

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    Log.i(LOG_TAG, "calling from onCreate()");

    cdh = new CallDataHelper(this);

    Log.i(LOG_TAG, "--->>> before calling the service");
    startService(new Intent(this, RatedCallsService.class));
    Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Service called.");
    Log.i(LOG_TAG, "--->>> after calling the service");
    fillList();

}

public void fillList() {

    List<String> ratedCalls = this.cdh.selectAll();

    setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.listitem,
            ratedCalls));

    ListView lv = getListView();
    lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);

    lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                int position, long id) {
            // When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    ((TextView) view).getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });
}
    }
