MatrixCursor

public class MatrixCursor
extends AbstractCursor

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


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(java.lang.Object), which starts from the left-most column and adds one column value at a time.

Public constructors

MatrixCursor

Added in API level 1
public MatrixCursor (String[] columnNames, 
                int initialCapacity)

Constructs a new cursor with the given initial capacity.

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

initialCapacity int: in rows

MatrixCursor

Added in API level 1
public MatrixCursor (String[] columnNames)

Constructs a new cursor.

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

Public methods

addRow

Added in API level 1
public void addRow (Object[] columnValues)

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

Parameters
columnValues Object: in the same order as the the column names specified at cursor construction time

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if columnValues.length != columnNames.length

addRow

Added in API level 1
public void addRow (Iterable<?> columnValues)

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

Parameters
columnValues Iterable: in the same order as the the column names specified at cursor construction time

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if columnValues.size() != columnNames.length

getBlob

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

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 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.

getColumnNames

Added in API level 1
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
String[] the names of the columns returned in this query.

getCount

Added in API level 1
public int getCount ()

Returns the numbers of rows in the cursor.

Returns
int the number of rows in the cursor. Value is 0 or greater

getDouble

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

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 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 column)

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 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 column)

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 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 column)

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

Returns
String the value of that column as a String.

getType

Added in API level 11
