Okay, I see, but I guess I didn't explain my entire issue. I don't know a whole lot about working with the SQLite databases, so right now I'm able to do what was done in the Notepad tutorial, get values from the database and tie them to ids of TextViews to display them. But part of the list I wanted to put together some of the values into a sentence. So I split it up into several text views. I have "Some string blah blah ", then the next TextView holds the value returned. Is there a way I can manipulate the data in each row to put it in my list? I just follow the Notepad tutorial right now. :S
