@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
helper=new RestaurantHelper(this);
name=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.name);
address=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.addr);
notes=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.notes);
types=(RadioGroup)findViewById(R.id.types);
model=helper.getAll();
startManagingCursor(model);
adapter=new RestaurantAdapter(model);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
Step #5: Pass the Restaurant _ID........................................................
Now, let's step back a bit and think about what we are trying to achieve.
We want to be able to use DetailForm for both adding new restaurants and
editing an existing restaurant. DetailForm needs to be able to tell those two
scenarios apart. Also, DetailForm needs to know which item is to be edited.
To achieve this, we will pass an "extra" in our Intent that launches
DetailForm, containing the ID (_id column) of the restaurant to edit. We will
use this if the DetailForm was launched by clicking on an existing
restaurant. If DetailForm receives an Intent lacking our "extra", it will know
to add a new restaurant.
First, we need to define a name for this "extra", so add the following data
member to LunchList:
public final static String ID_EXTRA="apt.tutorial._ID";
We use the apt.tutorial namespace to ensure our "extra" name will not
collide with any names perhaps used by the Android system.
