**This class was deprecated in API level 24.**
Use a mocking framework like[Mockito](https://github.com/mockito/mockito). New tests should be written using the[Android Testing Support Library](https://developer.android.com/tools/testing-support-library).
A mock[Cursor](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/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](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/UnsupportedOperationException).

## Public constructors
### MockCursor
```
public MockCursor ()
```
## Public methods
### close
Added in[API level 8](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void close ()
```
Closes the Cursor, releasing all of its resources and making it completely invalid. Unlike[deactivate()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/Cursor#deactivate())a call to[requery()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/Cursor#requery())will not make the Cursor valid again.
### copyStringToBuffer
Added in[API level 8](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
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](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void deactivate ()
```
Deactivates the Cursor, making all calls on it fail until[requery()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/Cursor#requery())is called. Inactive Cursors use fewer resources than active Cursors. Calling[requery()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/Cursor#requery())will make the cursor active again.
### getBlob
Added in[API level 8](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
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](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public int getColumnCount ()
```
Return total number of columns
| Returns ||
|-------|------------------------------------------------|
| `int` | number of columns Value is 0 or greater
|
### getColumnIndex
Added in[API level 8](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
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)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/Cursor#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](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public int getColumnIndexOrThrow (String columnName)
```
Returns the zero-based index for the given column name, or throws[IllegalArgumentException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException)if the column doesn't exist. If you're not sure if a column will exist or not use[getColumnIndex(java.lang.String)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/Cursor#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 ||
|-------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| Parameters ||
|------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `observer` | `ContentObserver`: the object that gets notified when the content backing the cursor changes.

Deprecated in[API level 24](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void setNotificationUris (ContentResolver cr,
List uris)
```
Similar to[setNotificationUri(android.content.ContentResolver, android.net.Uri)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/Cursor#setNotificationUri(android.content.ContentResolver,%20android.net.Uri)), except this version allows to watch multiple content URIs for changes.
If this is not implemented, this is equivalent to calling[setNotificationUri(android.content.ContentResolver, android.net.Uri)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/Cursor#setNotificationUri(android.content.ContentResolver,%20android.net.Uri))with the first URI in`uris`.
Calling this overrides any previous call to[setNotificationUri(android.content.ContentResolver, android.net.Uri)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/Cursor#setNotificationUri(android.content.ContentResolver,%20android.net.Uri)).
| Parameters ||
|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `cr` | `ContentResolver`: The content resolver from the caller's context. The listener attached to this resolver will be notified. This value cannot be`null`.
