Get the field value with a Cursor

Question
I'm creating an application and I have problems with Cursor
. I have an SQLiteDatabase
that returns me a Cursor
when I try to fetch the values with this function:
public Cursor fetchOption(long rowId) throws SQLException {
Cursor mCursor = mDb.query(true, DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {KEY_ROWID,
KEY_TITLE, KEY_BODY}, KEY_ROWID + "=" + rowId, null,
null, null, null, null);
if (mCursor != null) {
mCursor.moveToFirst();
}
return mCursor;
}
I don't know how to obtain the value of the field in the Cursor
. If I do that like so:
String a = mOptionDb.fetchOption(0).getColumnName(0).toString();
String b = mOptionDb.fetchOption(0).getColumnName(1).toString();
String c = mOptionDb.fetchOption(0).getColumnName(2).toString();
I only obtain the name of the columns (_id, title, body
) but not the values. Any suggestions on how to achieve this?
Solution
I think you can forget about checking for null.
Instead check if there is data and then access the columns using the cursor:
Cursor cursor = fetchOption(0);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) // data?
System.out.println(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("title"));
cursor.close(); // that's important too, otherwise you're gonna leak cursors
It might also make sense to read an Android tutorial. The notepad tutorial seems to fit the bill: http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/notepad/index.html
OTHER TIPS
You can use the Cursor
's get*
methods to retrieve values from the result:
long id = cursor.getLong(cursor.getColumnIndex("_id"));
long title = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("title"));
...
Better practice is obviously to use constants (often provided by ContentProviders) instead of calls to getColumnIndex
with hardcoded strings.
You can use this mechanism.
Cursor record=db.test(finalDate);
if(record.getCount()!=0){
if(record.moveToFirst()){
do{
Imgid1=record.getString(record.getColumnIndex(Database.PHOTO));
}while(record.moveToNext());
}
record.close();
}
