How to return all properties in the model class from toString() method-CodePudding

I am trying to develop a simple crud app in android studio using ormlite. I've implemented the Insert and View parts. I have created a list view to view items. But only display only one property in one record. I want to get all properties of a record to list view. I am a beginner in android development. Please tell me how to do it. Thank you. :)

first, I call a method in the model class

 @NonNull
    @Override
    public String toString(){
        return this.courseDescription;
    }

In this method, I can only return one property only. I need to return all properties in string data type.

here are my codes below.

Course.java (model class)

import androidx.annotation.NonNull;

import com.j256.ormlite.field.DatabaseField;
import com.j256.ormlite.table.DatabaseTable;

@DatabaseTable(tableName = "course")
public class Course {

    @DatabaseField(generatedId = true)
    private int courseId;

    @DatabaseField(columnName = "course_name")
    private String courseName;

    @DatabaseField(columnName = "course_duration")
    private String courseDuration;

    @DatabaseField(columnName = "course_description")
    private String courseDescription;

    public Course() {
    }

    public Course(String courseName, String courseDuration,
                  String courseDescription) {
        this.courseName = courseName;
        this.courseDuration = courseDuration;
        this.courseDescription = courseDescription;
    }

    public int getCourseId() {
        return courseId;
    }

    public void setCourseId(int courseId) {
        this.courseId = courseId;
    }

    public String getCourseName() {
        return courseName;
    }

    public void setCourseName(String courseName) {
        this.courseName = courseName;
    }

    public String getCourseDuration() {
        return courseDuration;
    }

    public void setCourseDuration(String courseDuration) {
        this.courseDuration = courseDuration;
    }

    public String getCourseDescription() {
        return courseDescription;
    }

    public void setCourseDescription(String courseDescription) {
        this.courseDescription = courseDescription;
    }

    @NonNull
    @Override
    public String toString(){
        return this.courseDescription;
    }
}

        }
    }

You can try below code :

@Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Course{"  
                "courseId="   courseId  
                ", courseName='"   courseName   '\''  
                ", courseDuration='"   courseDuration   '\''  
                ", courseDescription='"   courseDescription   '\''  
                '}';
    }
