We just finished getting our cursor, and

now that we've got it let's loop through it and add each contact to our list.

But first we'll need to make sure that our cursor both exists and isn't empty.

So let's type if (cursor != to null to make sure it exists,

and then add && cursor.moveToFirst to make sure there is a first row.

MoveToFirst returns false if there is not a first row to move to.

Inside the if statement we can use the do while loop to loop through our cursor.

So do and then brackets.

And we'll leave the inside blank for now and at the end add

while(cursor.moveToNext.

And add a semicolon.

This way, as long as there's another row we'll keep looping.

Inside the loop, we just need to get the ID and name of our contact and

then use that to create a new text view for a linear layout.

Let's create a new string variable named id and

set it equal to cursor.getString.

And then for the column index,

let's pass in Cursor.getColumnIndex.

And then that requires the column name, so

let's pass in DatabaseHelper.COLUMN_ID and there we go.

And now that we've got our ID, let's use command or

control D to duplicate this line.

And then let's just change

id to name and ID to NAME.

Then let's create a new TextView.

TextView textView = getNewTextView, and

parse in id and name, and

then let's add that text view to our linear layout.

Linear Layout.addView textView.

And finally after the loop we need to close our cursor, cursor.close and

that's it, we're now using a content provider to serve up our data.

But before we run the app, there's one more thing we should do.

Over in the manifest, we need to declare our provider inside the application tags.

Let's add a couple lines at the bottom.

And then, add a provider tag and let it auto complete.

Next, for the authorities, let's pass in our authority, which remember,

is just the package name, plus provider.

So for me it's going to be

com.teamtreehouse.contentproviders.provi- der.

And for the name, let's give it our content provider.

Then let's close our provider tag and run the app.

Looks good so far.

Now let's see what happens when we type in a name like Stan and then hit the button.

Sweet.

It added the name to the list and we got a toast of the URI where the name is stored.

Let's add another name to get a better look at that URI.

Let's type Maddy and then click the button.

And we've got the URI of the new row as the content URI plus the ID of the row.

Awesome our content provider is all set up, and it works great.

But, so far it's only being used by one app, so

we're not getting much benefit from our content provider.

In the next video we'll create another app and

see how we can access our content provider from the outside.
