        Cursor mCursor = mDatabase.rawQuery("Select * From mst_Subject",null);
        String[] ColumnNames = mCursor.getColumnNames();

        Log.d("Cursor Size",""+mCursor.getCount()); // It Works Returns Size of The  Table 

        for(int row=0;row<mCursor.getCount();row++)
        {
            for(int col=0;col<ColumnNames.length;col++){

                Log.d("ColumnName",""+ColumnNames[col]); // It Works Returns The Name Of The Column
                Log.d("Column Value",mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(ColumnNames[col])));  // Not Working It Throw Error

                Log.d("Record["+row+"]["+col+"]",mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(ColumnNames[col])));

            Log.d("End Of The Record ["+row+"]","==========================================================");
        }

    }
}

Answer 1

Just write following statement before the for loop

mCursor.moveToFirst();

Answer 2

Change

for(int row=0;row<mCursor.getCount();row++)

to

 int row = -1;
 while (mCursor.moveToNext()) {
     row++;
     // now use cursor.getString()

A Cursor is initially positioned before the first row, there is nothing you can read there

Answer 3

Use This Code:

    if(mCursor.moveToFirst())
    {
        do
        {

        }while(mCursor.moveToNext());
    }
