[android] concatenate two strings

Let's say I have a string obtained from a cursor,this way:

String name = cursor.getString(numcol);

and another String like this one:

String dest=cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(db.KEY_DESTINATIE));

If finally I wanna obtain a String from the two of them,something like:

name - dest

Let say if name=Malmo and dest=Copenhagen

How could I finally obtain Malmo-Copenhagen???

Because android won't let me write :

name"-"dest

You can use concatenation operator and instead of declaring two variables only use one variable

String finalString =  cursor.getString(numcol) + cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(db.KEY_DESTINATIE));

You need to use the string concatenation operator +

String both = name + "-" + dest;
