AbstractWindowedCursor

public abstract class AbstractWindowedCursor
extends AbstractCursor

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.database.AbstractCursor
     ↳ android.database.AbstractWindowedCursor


A base class for Cursors that store their data in CursorWindows.

The cursor owns the cursor window it uses. When the cursor is closed, its window is also closed. Likewise, when the window used by the cursor is changed, its old window is closed. This policy of strict ownership ensures that cursor windows are not leaked.

Subclasses are responsible for filling the cursor window with data during AbstractCursor.onMove(int, int), allocating a new cursor window if necessary. During AbstractCursor.requery(), the existing cursor window should be cleared and filled with new data.

If the contents of the cursor change or become invalid, the old window must be closed (because it is owned by the cursor) and set to null.

Public methods

copyStringToBuffer

Added in API level 1
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 int: the zero-based index of the target column. if the target column is null, return buffer Value is 0 or greater

buffer CharArrayBuffer: the buffer to copy the text into.

getBlob

Added in API level 1
public byte[] getBlob (int columnIndex)

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
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column. Value is 0 or greater

Returns
byte[] the value of that column as a byte array.

getDouble

Added in API level 1
public double getDouble (int columnIndex)

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
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column. Value is 0 or greater

Returns
double the value of that column as a double.

getFloat

Added in API level 1
public float getFloat (int columnIndex)

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
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column. Value is 0 or greater

Returns
float the value of that column as a float.

getInt

Added in API level 1
public int getInt (int columnIndex)

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
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column. Value is 0 or greater

Returns
int the value of that column as an int.

getLong

Added in API level 1
public long getLong (int columnIndex)

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
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column. Value is 0 or greater

Returns
long the value of that column as a long.

getShort

Added in API level 1
public short getShort (int columnIndex)

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
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column. Value is 0 or greater

Returns
short the value of that column as a short.

getString

Added in API level 1
public String getString (int columnIndex)

Parameters
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column. Value is 0 or greater

Returns
String the value of that column as a String.

getType

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.

Parameters
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column. Value is 0 or greater

Returns
int column value type Value is FIELD_TYPE_NULL, FIELD_TYPE_INTEGER, FIELD_TYPE_FLOAT, FIELD_TYPE_STRING, or FIELD_TYPE_BLOB
