Using encrypted data in CursorAdapter

[yash wardhan]

Hi All,

I have some data in table,(say _id,name), name is encrypted where as id is auto generated value.
I want to show the data in a ListView and I'm using SimpleCursorAdapter for keyvalue mapping.
But I am getting an error saying

android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: unknown error: Unable to convert BLOB to string

This is because the encrypted data is stored in byte[].
My question is,
how can I convert the name column into original string and show in ListView?
I have a method for decryption.
Actually I want a functionality as, when user clicks on Name in the list, I should get corresponding id and I found SimpleCursorAdapter doing same thing as given in Notepad sample.

Waiting for help, thanks in advance

Any replies.

I found an article here.

I am able to do my work as expected following the article but I am not getting each name on each row of list, I am getting same name (first from db) on each row, however, when I check the id in onListItemClick() method I am getting correct id for each name.

How to solve this problem?
Please reply

When I debugged the adapter I found that my getView() method is getting called twice the number of rows in the database.
Why is it happening, I think that is the problem that I am getting same name.

Waiting for help from anyone

Hi All,

The problem is solved by changing height attribute in xml files.
