Class Overview

A Cursor implementation that exposes results from a query on a SQLiteDatabase. SQLiteCursor is not internally synchronized so code using a SQLiteCursor from multiple threads should perform its own synchronization when using the SQLiteCursor.

Public Constructors
	SQLiteCursor(SQLiteDatabase db, SQLiteCursorDriver driver, String editTable, SQLiteQuery query) This constructor was deprecated in API level 11. use `SQLiteCursor(SQLiteCursorDriver, String, SQLiteQuery)` instead
	SQLiteCursor(SQLiteCursorDriver driver, String editTable, SQLiteQuery query) Execute a query and provide access to its result set through a Cursor interface.

Public Methods

int	getColumnIndex(String columnName) Returns the zero-based index for the given column name, or -1 if the column doesn't exist.
String[]	getColumnNames() 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.
int	getCount() Returns the numbers of rows in the cursor.
SQLiteDatabase	getDatabase() Get the database that this cursor is associated with.
boolean	onMove(int oldPosition, int newPosition) This function is called every time the cursor is successfully scrolled to a new position, giving the subclass a chance to update any state it may have.
boolean	requery() Performs the query that created the cursor again, refreshing its contents.
void	setSelectionArguments(String[] selectionArgs) Changes the selection arguments.
void	setWindow(CursorWindow window) Sets a new cursor window for the cursor to use.

Protected Methods

Public Constructors

public SQLiteCursor (SQLiteDatabase db, SQLiteCursorDriver driver, String editTable, SQLiteQuery query)

Added in API level 1

This constructor was deprecated in API level 11.
use SQLiteCursor(SQLiteCursorDriver, String, SQLiteQuery) instead

Execute a query and provide access to its result set through a Cursor interface. For a query such as: SELECT name, birth, phone FROM myTable WHERE ... LIMIT 1,20 ORDER BY... the column names (name, birth, phone) would be in the projection argument and everything from FROM onward would be in the params argument.

Parameters

db	a reference to a Database object that is already constructed and opened. This param is not used any longer
editTable	the name of the table used for this query
query	the rest of the query terms cursor is finalized

public SQLiteCursor (SQLiteCursorDriver driver, String editTable, SQLiteQuery query)

Added in API level 11

Parameters

editTable	the name of the table used for this query
query	the `SQLiteQuery` object associated with this cursor object.

Public Methods

public void close ()

Added in API level 1

Closes the Cursor, releasing all of its resources and making it completely invalid. Unlike deactivate() a call to requery() will not make the Cursor valid again.

public void deactivate ()

Added in API level 1

Deactivates the Cursor, making all calls on it fail until requery() is called. Inactive Cursors use fewer resources than active Cursors. Calling requery() will make the cursor active again.

public int getColumnIndex (String columnName)

Added in API level 1

Returns the zero-based index for the given column name, or -1 if the column doesn't exist. If you expect the column to exist use getColumnIndexOrThrow(String) instead, which will make the error more clear.

Parameters

columnName	the name of the target column.

Returns

the zero-based column index for the given column name, or -1 if the column name does not exist.

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 SQLiteDatabase getDatabase ()

Added in API level 1

Get the database that this cursor is associated with.

Returns

the SQLiteDatabase that this cursor is associated with.

public boolean onMove (int oldPosition, int newPosition)

Added in API level 1

This function is called every time the cursor is successfully scrolled to a new position, giving the subclass a chance to update any state it may have. If it returns false the move function will also do so and the cursor will scroll to the beforeFirst position.

Parameters

oldPosition	the position that we're moving from
newPosition	the position that we're moving to

Returns

true if the move is successful, false otherwise

public boolean requery ()

Added in API level 1

Performs the query that created the cursor again, refreshing its contents. This may be done at any time, including after a call to deactivate(). Since this method could execute a query on the database and potentially take a while, it could cause ANR if it is called on Main (UI) thread. A warning is printed if this method is being executed on Main thread.

Returns

true if the requery succeeded, false if not, in which case the cursor becomes invalid.

public void setSelectionArguments (String[] selectionArgs)

Added in API level 1

Changes the selection arguments. The new values take effect after a call to requery().

public void setWindow (CursorWindow window)

Added in API level 1

Sets a new cursor window for the cursor to use.

The cursor takes ownership of the provided cursor window; the cursor window will be closed when the cursor is closed or when the cursor adopts a new cursor window.

If the cursor previously had a cursor window, then it is closed when the new cursor window is assigned.

Parameters

window	The new cursor window, typically a remote cursor window.

Protected Methods

protected void finalize ()
