Android Question Concatenate strings from sql

[grant1842]

I am trying to add some items to a listview.
THis compiles fine.

ListView1.AddTwoLines(Cursor1.GetString("call"),Cursor1.GetString("name"))

When I try to add another string from sql i get error.

Parsing code.                           0.02
Compiling code.                         Error

ListView1.AddTwoLines(Cursor1.GetString("call")&" " &Cursor1.GetString("call")&", " & Cursor1.GetString("name"))
Word: )

ListView1.AddTwoLines(Cursor1.GetString("call")&" " &Cursor1.GetString("call")&", " & Cursor1.GetString("name"))

Thanks for your help.

That's because you are missing the SECOND line.

Change this line from:

ListView1.AddTwoLines(Cursor1.GetString("call")&" " &Cursor1.GetString("call")&", " & Cursor1.GetString("name"))

to:

ListView1.AddTwoLines(Cursor1.GetString("call") & " "  & Cursor1.GetString("call"), Cursor1.GetString("name"))

The variables do not cost much. Often compact code is more harmful than useful.

ListView1.AddTwoLines(Cursor1.GetString("call") & " "  & Cursor1.GetString("call"), Cursor1.GetString("name"))

Call = Cursor1.GetString("call")
Name = Cursor1.GetString("name")
ListView1.AddTwoLines(Call & " " & Call, Name)

In this case, you can also move the mouse pointer on Name (setting a breakpoint on ListView...) to check its value, can you do it using the "compact format"?

I hate compact code: we are not developing in Assembler!

(Call & Call ?!?!)

(wow, this post is very inherent to the question )

Often compact code is more harmful than useful.

No problem if you can read what you wrote later

But you are right. Splitting some things into multiple lines can help much while debugging
