Public Constructors

public CursorWrapper (Cursor cursor)

Public Methods

public void close ()

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 copyStringToBuffer (int columnIndex, CharArrayBuffer buffer)

Retrieves the requested column text and stores it in the buffer provided. If the buffer size is not sufficient, a new char buffer will be allocated and assigned to CharArrayBuffer.data

Parameters
columnIndex the zero-based index of the target column. if the target column is null, return buffer
buffer the buffer to copy the text into.

public void deactivate ()

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 byte[] getBlob (int columnIndex)

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

If the native content of that column is not blob exception may throw

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

public int getColumnCount ()

Return total number of columns

Returns
  • number of columns

public int getColumnIndex (String columnName)

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 int getColumnIndexOrThrow (String columnName)

Returns the zero-based index for the given column name, or throws IllegalArgumentException if the column doesn't exist. If you're not sure if a column will exist or not use getColumnIndex(String) and check for -1, which is more efficient than catching the exceptions.

Parameters
columnName the name of the target column.
Returns
  • the zero-based column index for the given column name

public String getColumnName (int columnIndex)

Returns the column name at the given zero-based column index.

Parameters
columnIndex the zero-based index of the target column.
Returns
  • the column name for the given column index.

public 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.

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

public int getCount ()

Returns the numbers of rows in the cursor.

Returns
  • the number of rows in the cursor.

public double getDouble (int columnIndex)

Returns the value of the requested column as a double.

If the native content of that column is not numeric the result will be the result of passing the column value to Double.valueOf(x).

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

public Bundle getExtras ()

Returns a bundle of extra values. This is an optional way for cursors to provide out-of-band metadata to their users. One use of this is for reporting on the progress of network requests that are required to fetch data for the cursor.

These values may only change when requery is called.

Returns
  • cursor-defined values, or Bundle.EMTPY if there are no values. Never null.

public float getFloat (int columnIndex)

Returns the value of the requested column as a float.

If the native content of that column is not numeric the result will be the result of passing the column value to Float.valueOf(x).

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

public int getInt (int columnIndex)

Returns the value of the requested column as an int.

If the native content of that column is not numeric the result will be the result of passing the column value to Integer.valueOf(x).

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

public long getLong (int columnIndex)

Returns the value of the requested column as a long.

If the native content of that column is not numeric the result will be the result of passing the column value to Long.valueOf(x).

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

public int getPosition ()

Returns the current position of the cursor in the row set. The value is zero-based. When the row set is first returned the cursor will be at positon -1, which is before the first row. After the last row is returned another call to next() will leave the cursor past the last entry, at a position of count().

Returns
  • the current cursor position.

public short getShort (int columnIndex)

Returns the value of the requested column as a short.

If the native content of that column is not numeric the result will be the result of passing the column value to Short.valueOf(x).

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

public String getString (int columnIndex)

Returns the value of the requested column as a String.

If the native content of that column is not text the result will be the result of passing the column value to String.valueOf(x).

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

public boolean getWantsAllOnMoveCalls ()

onMove() will only be called across processes if this method returns true.

Returns
  • whether all cursor movement should result in a call to onMove().

public boolean isAfterLast ()

Returns whether the cursor is pointing to the position after the last row.

Returns
  • whether the cursor is after the last result.

public boolean isBeforeFirst ()

Returns whether the cursor is pointing to the position before the first row.

Returns
  • whether the cursor is before the first result.

public boolean isClosed ()

return true if the cursor is closed

Returns
  • true if the cursor is closed.

public boolean isFirst ()

Returns whether the cursor is pointing to the first row.

Returns
  • whether the cursor is pointing at the first entry.

public boolean isLast ()

Returns whether the cursor is pointing to the last row.

Returns
  • whether the cursor is pointing at the last entry.

public boolean isNull (int columnIndex)

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

Parameters
columnIndex the zero-based index of the target column.
Returns
  • whether the column value is null.

public boolean move (int offset)

Move the cursor by a relative amount, forward or backward, from the current position. Positive offsets move forwards, negative offsets move backwards. If the final position is outside of the bounds of the result set then the resultant position will be pinned to -1 or count() depending on whether the value is off the front or end of the set, respectively.

This method will return true if the requested destination was reachable, otherwise, it returns false. For example, if the cursor is at currently on the second entry in the result set and move(-5) is called, the position will be pinned at -1, and false will be returned.

Parameters
offset the offset to be applied from the current position.
Returns
  • whether the requested move fully succeeded.

public boolean moveToFirst ()

Move the cursor to the first row.

This method will return false if the cursor is empty.

Returns
  • whether the move succeeded.

public boolean moveToLast ()

Move the cursor to the last row.

This method will return false if the cursor is empty.

Returns
  • whether the move succeeded.

public boolean moveToNext ()

Move the cursor to the next row.

This method will return false if the cursor is already past the last entry in the result set.

Returns
  • whether the move succeeded.

public boolean moveToPosition (int position)

Move the cursor to an absolute position. The valid range of values is -1 <= position <= count.

This method will return true if the request destination was reachable, otherwise, it returns false.

Parameters
position the zero-based position to move to.
Returns
  • whether the requested move fully succeeded.

public boolean moveToPrevious ()

Move the cursor to the previous row.

This method will return false if the cursor is already before the first entry in the result set.

Returns
  • whether the move succeeded.

public void registerContentObserver (ContentObserver observer)

Register an observer that is called when changes happen to the content backing this cursor. Typically the data set won't change until requery() is called.

Parameters
observer the object that gets notified when the content backing the cursor changes.

public void registerDataSetObserver (DataSetObserver observer)

Register an observer that is called when changes happen to the contents of the this cursors data set, for example, when the data set is changed via requery(), deactivate(), or close().

Parameters
observer the object that gets notified when the cursors data set changes.

public boolean requery ()

Performs the query that created the cursor again, refreshing its contents. This may be done at any time, including after a call to deactivate().

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

public Bundle respond (Bundle extras)

This is an out-of-band way for the the user of a cursor to communicate with the cursor. The structure of each bundle is entirely defined by the cursor.
