MergeCursor

public class MergeCursor
extends AbstractCursor

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

A convience class that lets you present an array of Cursors as a single linear Cursor. The schema of the cursors presented is entirely up to the creator of the MergeCursor, and may be different if that is desired. Calls to getColumns, getColumnIndex, etc will return the value for the row that the MergeCursor is currently pointing at.

Public constructors

MergeCursor

Added in API level 1

MergeCursor (Cursor[] cursors)

Parameters
`cursors`	`Cursor`

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.

deactivate

Added in API level 1

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 1

byte[] getBlob (int column)

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.

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

getColumnNames

Added in API level 1

String[] getColumnNames ()

Returns a string array holding the names of all of the columns in the result set in the order in which they were listed in the result.

Added in API level 1

double getDouble (int column)

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.

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

Returns
`int`	the value of that column as an int.

getLong

Added in API level 1

long getLong (int column)

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

Returns
`short`	the value of that column as a short.

getString

Added in API level 1

String getString (int column)

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

Returns
`String`	the value of that column as a String.

getType

Added in API level 11

int getType (int column)

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

Returns
`int`	column value type

`boolean`	whether the column value is null.

onMove

Added in API level 1

boolean onMove (int oldPosition, 
                int newPosition)

This function is called every time the cursor is successfully scrolled to a new position, giving the subclass a chance to update any state it may have. If it returns false the move function will also do so and the cursor will scroll to the beforeFirst position.

Parameters
`oldPosition`	`int`: the position that we're moving from
`newPosition`	`int`: the position that we're moving to

Returns
`boolean`	true if the move is successful, false otherwise

registerContentObserver

Added in API level 1

void registerContentObserver (ContentObserver observer)

Register an observer that is called when changes happen to the content backing this cursor. Typically the data set won't change until requery() is called.

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

registerDataSetObserver

Added in API level 1

void registerDataSetObserver (DataSetObserver observer)

Register an observer that is called when changes happen to the contents of the this cursors data set, for example, when the data set is changed via requery(), deactivate(), or close().

Parameters
`observer`	`DataSetObserver`: the object that gets notified when the cursors data set changes.

requery

Added in API level 1

boolean requery ()

Performs the query that created the cursor again, refreshing its contents. This may be done at any time, including after a call to deactivate(). Since this method could execute a query on the database and potentially take a while, it could cause ANR if it is called on Main (UI) thread. A warning is printed if this method is being executed on Main thread.

Returns
`boolean`	true if the requery succeeded, false if not, in which case the cursor becomes invalid.

unregisterContentObserver

Added in API level 1

void unregisterContentObserver (ContentObserver observer)

Unregister an observer that has previously been registered with this cursor via registerContentObserver(ContentObserver).

Parameters
`observer`	`ContentObserver`: the object to unregister.

unregisterDataSetObserver

Added in API level 1

void unregisterDataSetObserver (DataSetObserver observer)

Unregister an observer that has previously been registered with this cursor via registerContentObserver(ContentObserver).

Parameters
`observer`	`DataSetObserver`: the object to unregister.
