MatrixCursor

extends AbstractCursor
java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.database.AbstractCursor
     ↳ android.database.MatrixCursor

Class Overview

A mutable cursor implementation backed by an array of Objects. Use newRow() to add rows. Automatically expands internal capacity as needed.

Summary

Nested Classes
class MatrixCursor.RowBuilder Builds a row of values using either of these approaches:
  • Values can be added with explicit column ordering using add(Object), which starts from the left-most column and adds one column value at a time.

Public Constructors

public MatrixCursor (String[] columnNames, int initialCapacity)

Added in API level 1

Constructs a new cursor with the given initial capacity.

Parameters
columnNames names of the columns, the ordering of which determines column ordering elsewhere in this cursor
initialCapacity in rows

public MatrixCursor (String[] columnNames)

Added in API level 1

Constructs a new cursor.

Parameters
columnNames names of the columns, the ordering of which determines column ordering elsewhere in this cursor

Public Methods

public void addRow (Iterable<?> columnValues)

Added in API level 1

Adds a new row to the end with the given column values. Not safe for concurrent use.

Parameters
columnValues in the same order as the the column names specified at cursor construction time
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if columnValues.size() != columnNames.length

public void addRow (Object[] columnValues)

Added in API level 1

Adds a new row to the end with the given column values. Not safe for concurrent use.

Parameters
columnValues in the same order as the the column names specified at cursor construction time
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if columnValues.length != columnNames.length

public byte[] getBlob (int column)

Added in API level 1

Returns the value of the requested column as a byte array.

The result and whether this method throws an exception when the column value is null or the column type is not a blob type is implementation-defined.

Parameters
column the zero-based index of the target column.
Returns
  • the value of that column as a byte array.

public String[] getColumnNames ()

Added in API level 1

Returns a string array holding the names of all of the columns in the result set in the order in which they were listed in the result.

Returns
  • the names of the columns returned in this query.

public int getCount ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the numbers of rows in the cursor.

Returns
  • the number of rows in the cursor.

public double getDouble (int column)

Added in API level 1

Returns the value of the requested column as a double.

The result and whether this method throws an exception when the column value is null, the column type is not a floating-point type, or the floating-point value is not representable as a double value is implementation-defined.

Parameters
column the zero-based index of the target column.
Returns
  • the value of that column as a double.

public float getFloat (int column)

Added in API level 1

Returns the value of the requested column as a float.

The result and whether this method throws an exception when the column value is null, the column type is not a floating-point type, or the floating-point value is not representable as a float value is implementation-defined.

Parameters
column the zero-based index of the target column.
Returns
  • the value of that column as a float.

public int getInt (int column)

Added in API level 1

Returns the value of the requested column as an int.

The result and whether this method throws an exception when the column value is null, the column type is not an integral type, or the integer value is outside the range [Integer.MIN_VALUE, Integer.MAX_VALUE] is implementation-defined.

Parameters
column the zero-based index of the target column.
Returns
  • the value of that column as an int.

public long getLong (int column)

Added in API level 1

Returns the value of the requested column as a long.

The result and whether this method throws an exception when the column value is null, the column type is not an integral type, or the integer value is outside the range [Long.MIN_VALUE, Long.MAX_VALUE] is implementation-defined.

Parameters
column the zero-based index of the target column.
Returns
  • the value of that column as a long.

public short getShort (int column)

Added in API level 1

Returns the value of the requested column as a short.

The result and whether this method throws an exception when the column value is null, the column type is not an integral type, or the integer value is outside the range [Short.MIN_VALUE, Short.MAX_VALUE] is implementation-defined.

Parameters
column the zero-based index of the target column.
Returns
  • the value of that column as a short.

public String getString (int column)

Added in API level 1

Returns the value of the requested column as a String.

The result and whether this method throws an exception when the column value is null or the column type is not a string type is implementation-defined.

Parameters
column the zero-based index of the target column.
Returns
  • the value of that column as a String.

public int getType (int column)

Added in API level 11

Returns data type of the given column's value. The preferred type of the column is returned but the data may be converted to other types as documented in the get-type methods such as getInt(int), getFloat(int) etc.

Returned column types are

Parameters
column the zero-based index of the target column.
Returns
  • column value type

public boolean isNull (int column)

Added in API level 1

Returns true if the value in the indicated column is null.

Parameters
