Apps DB Id's vs ListView

[guyncothal]

Hey all,

I am new to Android dev but VERY experienced in DB/Web dev...I
currently have my app talking to my web server to get a list of data
based off a query...like searching for a song...I know how to send it
and even how to parse it into an array...but here is where I am a
little fuzzy...I am going to have a list of records with 2
fields...for the sake of argument lets call them ID and Name...i
know...not too original...BUT...it is basically what I AM doing...the
LiewView is going to show a list of names for the records and hide the
ids...when a record is selected, I am going to show a menu of what you
can do to this record...but this STILL isn't where my issue is...my
issue is that once an action is selected, HOW DO I GET THE ID FOR THE
RECORD...from everything I have read, the ListView doesn't have a
place to store this extra data...unless I am just missing it all
together...ALSO...the data is coming in as CSV format...i don't think
that will matter...so can some one point me in the right direction???

Hi,
have a look at Notepad Tutorial. it explains how to use ListView and DB from scratch. It helped me a lot.
