AbstractWindowedCursor

public abstract class AbstractWindowedCursor
extends AbstractCursor

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


A base class for Cursors that store their data in CursorWindows.

The cursor owns the cursor window it uses. When the cursor is closed, its window is also closed. Likewise, when the window used by the cursor is changed, its old window is closed. This policy of strict ownership ensures that cursor windows are not leaked.

Subclasses are responsible for filling the cursor window with data during AbstractCursor.onMove(int, int), allocating a new cursor window if necessary. During AbstractCursor.requery(), the existing cursor window should be cleared and filled with new data.

If the contents of the cursor change or become invalid, the old window must be closed (because it is owned by the cursor) and set to null.

public AbstractWindowedCursor ()

Public methods

copyStringToBuffer

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

buffer CharArrayBuffer: the buffer to copy the text into.

getBlob

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.

Returns
byte[] the value of that column as a byte array.

getDouble

public double getDouble (int columnIndex)

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
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column.

Returns
double the value of that column as a double.

getFloat

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
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column.

Returns
float the value of that column as a float.

getInt

public int getInt (int columnIndex)

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
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column.

Returns
int the value of that column as an int.

getLong

public long getLong (int columnIndex)

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
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column.

Returns
long the value of that column as a long.

getShort

public short getShort (int columnIndex)

Returns the value of the requested column as a short.

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 [Short.MIN_VALUE, Short.MAX_VALUE] is implementation-defined.

Parameters
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column.

Returns
short the value of that column as a short.

getString

public String getString (int columnIndex)

Returns the value of the requested column as a String.

The result and whether this method throws an exception when the column value is null or the column type is not a string type is implementation-defined.

Parameters
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column.

Returns
String the value of that column as a String.

getType

public int getType (int columnIndex)

Returns data type of the given column's value. The preferred type of the column is returned but the data may be converted to other types as documented in the get-type methods such as getInt(int), getFloat(int) etc.

Returned column types are

Parameters
columnIndex int: the zero-based index of the target column.

Returns
int column value type

getWindow

public CursorWindow getWindow ()

If the cursor is backed by a CursorWindow, returns a pre-filled window with the contents of the cursor, otherwise null.

Returns
CursorWindow The pre-filled window that backs this cursor, or null if none.

hasWindow

public boolean hasWindow ()

Returns true if the cursor has an associated cursor window.

Returns
boolean True if the cursor has an associated cursor window.

isBlob

public boolean isBlob (int columnIndex)

This method is deprecated.
Use getType(int)

Parameters
columnIndex int

Returns
boolean

isFloat

public boolean isFloat (int columnIndex)

This method is deprecated.
Use getType(int)

Parameters
columnIndex int

Returns
boolean

setWindow

public void setWindow (CursorWindow window)

Sets a new cursor window for the cursor to use.

The cursor takes ownership of the provided cursor window; the cursor window will be closed when the cursor is closed or when the cursor adopts a new cursor window.

If the cursor previously had a cursor window, then it is closed when the new cursor window is assigned.

Parameters
window CursorWindow: The new cursor window, typically a remote cursor window.

Protected methods

checkPosition

protected void checkPosition ()

This function throws CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException if the cursor position is out of bounds. Subclass implementations of the get functions should call this before attempting to retrieve data.
