Hello everyone,
I came across a problem that I could really use some help with. I
created a SQLite database with five columns, _id, Favorite, Category,
Question, and Answer. I have a spinner in my layout that has the
category choices, All, Favorite, People, Places, Things, and Hard.
When All is selected pressing a button will pull a random row from the
database and this works great. My problem is when I try to grab a row
when a different category choice is selected it will only return the
first one from the list. I would like it to return a random row with
that category but I have not been able to figure it out. I would
really be happy even if it returned the next row when the query is ran
again. Thank you for the help.

Here is the code that I am having problems with.

public Cursor getRandom() throws IOException
{
        String limit = "1";
        int id = 1;
        id = countEntries();
        open();
        int rand = random.nextInt(id) + 1;
        if (Test.spinner.contains("All"))
        {
                where = KEY_ROWID + "=" + rand;
        }
        else
        {
                if (Test.spinner.contains("Favorite"))
                {
                        where = KEY_FAV + " LIKE '" + "1" + "%'";
                }
                else
                {
                        where = KEY_CAT + " LIKE '" + Test.spinner + "%'";
                }
        }

        Cursor cursor = Db.query(DB_TABLE,null, where, null, null, null,
null, limit);
        if (cursor.moveToFirst())
        {
                rowid = cursor.getString(0);
                fav = cursor.getString(1);
                cat = cursor.getString(2);
                quest = cursor.getString(3);
                answer = cursor.getString(4);
        }

        close();
        return cursor;
}
