cursor - getLoaderManager: in an activity -

i writing app wimmone watch: no orientation changes, small simple screen, , android version 7.

i got first android app running, based on book, had fragment. fragments added complications not want deal with.

my second app has similar structure: list of items select item see or update details. trying read cursor, , create array call "setlistadapter(lstadapter);".

i started with:

getloadermanager().initloader(0, null, this); 

got error:

the method initloader(int, bundle, loadermanager.loadercallbacks) in type loadermanager not applicable arguments (int, null, phonelistactivity)

so tried suggestion:

getloadermanager().initloader(0, null, (android.app.loadermanager.loadercallbacks<d>) this); 

got error:

the method initloader(int, bundle, loadermanager.loadercallbacks) type loadermanager refers missing type d

so tried this:

getloadermanager().initloader(0, null, (android.app.loadermanager.loadercallbacks) this); 

and got error:

type safety: unchecked invocation initloader(int, null, loadermanager.loadercallbacks) of generic method initloader(int, bundle, loadermanager.loadercallbacks) of type loadermanager

several postings said use version below 11

getsupportloadermanager().initloader(0, null, this); 

but gives me error:

the method getsupportloadermanager() undefined type phonelistactivity

i have seen not use "getloadermanager: in activity.

so doing wrong?

• or how read cursor , create list without creating complexities of fragment?
• am missing import?

many thanks, clark

since no 1 answered, re-did program , got working. needed use "extends launcheractivity" (for wimmone). since dealing small database on smart watch, loader isn't needed anyway, dropped use of loader , used cursor directly. seems faster.
