database - How to create a TableView with the rows displaying a value from an SQLite database in Titanium Studio?

Question

I'm trying to create an app using Titanium Studio that will display information from an SQLite database. To make things simpler, lets say my database have the following columns: Last Name, Given Name, Age, Race & Religion

I currently have a basic framework for the app, which consists of multiple tabs. In one of the tabs (which corresponds to a particular window), I would like to have a TableView that displays only Last Name, Given Name & Age in each row.

How do I do that? Appreciate all the help I can get!

Thanks!

Have you looked at this?

So once you get the rows from the database, just create rows for your tableview. Here is a start:

// Fetch the db and execute a select from your person table
var db = Ti.Database.open('mydb');
var rows = db.execute('SELECT * FROM person');

var persons = [];
while (rows.isValidRow())
{
    persons.push({title : + rows.fieldByName('Last Name'));
    rows.next();
};
rows.close();

var yourTable = Ti.UI.createTableView({
    width : Ti.UI.FILL,
    height : Ti.UI.FILL,
    data: persons // Set the rows to the table
});

// Dont forget to close the db
db.close();

Use this as a reference to style your table rows more effectively.
