MockCursor


public class MockCursor
extends Object implements Cursor

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.test.mock.MockCursor


This class was deprecated in API level 24.
Use a mocking framework like Mockito. New tests should be written using the Android Testing Support Library.

A mock Cursor class that isolates the test code from real Cursor implementation.

All methods including ones related to querying the state of the cursor are are non-functional and throw UnsupportedOperationException.

MockCursor

public MockCursor ()

Public methods

close

Added in API level 8
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.

copyStringToBuffer

Added in API level 8
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.

deactivate

Added in API level 8
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.

getBlob

Added in API level 8
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.

getColumnCount

Added in API level 8
public int getColumnCount ()

Return total number of columns

Returns
int number of columns Value is 0 or greater

getColumnIndex

Added in API level 8
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(java.lang.String) instead, which will make the error more clear.

Parameters
columnName String: the name of the target column.

Returns
int the zero-based column index for the given column name, or -1 if the column name does not exist. Value is -1 or greater

getColumnIndexOrThrow

Added in API level 8
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(java.lang.String) and check for -1, which is more efficient than catching the exceptions.

Parameters
columnName String: the name of the target column.

Returns
int the zero-based column index for the given column name Value is 0 or greater

getColumnName

Added in API level 8
public String getColumnName (int columnIndex)

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

Parameters

Bundle cursor-defined values, or Bundle.EMPTY if there are no values. Never null.

getFloat

Added in API level 8
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
extras Bundle: extra values, or Bundle.EMPTY. Never null.

Returns
Bundle extra values, or Bundle.EMPTY. Never null.

setExtras

Added in API level 23
Deprecated in API level 24
