Public constructors

CursorWrapper(cursor: Cursor!)

Creates a cursor wrapper.

Parameters
`cursor`	Cursor!: The underlying cursor to wrap.

Public methods

close

open fun close(): Unit

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.

Exceptions
`java.lang.Exception`	if this resource cannot be closed
`java.io.IOException`	if an I/O error occurs

copyStringToBuffer

open fun copyStringToBuffer(
    columnIndex: Int, 
    buffer: CharArrayBuffer!
): Unit

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

open fun deactivate(): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

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

open fun getBlob(columnIndex: Int): ByteArray!

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

Return
`ByteArray!`	the value of that column as a byte array.

getColumnCount

open fun getColumnCount(): Int

Return total number of columns

Return
`Int`	number of columns. Value is 0 or greater

getColumnIndex

open fun getColumnIndex(columnName: String!): Int

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(String) instead, which will make the error more clear.

Parameters
`columnName`	String!: the name of the target column.

Return
`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

open fun getColumnIndexOrThrow(columnName: String!): Int

Returns the zero-based index for the given column name, or throws IllegalArgumentException if the column doesn't exist. If you're not sure if a column will exist or not use getColumnIndex(String) and check for -1, which is more efficient than catching the exceptions.

Parameters
`columnName`	String!: the name of the target column.

Return
`Int`	the zero-based column index for the given column name. Value is 0 or greater

Exceptions
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if the column does not exist

getColumnName

Returns the column name at the given zero-based column index.

Parameters
`columnIndex`	Int: the zero-based index of the target column. Value is 0 or greater

Return
`String!`	the column name for the given column index.

getColumnNames

open fun getCount(): Int

Returns the numbers of rows in the cursor.

Return
`Int`	the number of rows in the cursor. Value is 0 or greater

getDouble

open fun getDouble(columnIndex: Int): Double

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. Value is 0 or greater

Return
`Double`	the value of that column as a double.

open fun getExtras(): Bundle!

Returns a bundle of extra values. This is an optional way for cursors to provide out-of-band metadata to their users. One use of this is for reporting on the progress of network requests that are required to fetch data for the cursor.

Return
`Uri!`	Returns a URI that can be used with `ContentResolver.registerContentObserver` to find out about changes to this Cursor's data. May be null if no notification URI has been set.

getPosition

open fun getPosition(): Int

Returns the current position of the cursor in the row set. The value is zero-based. When the row set is first returned the cursor will be at positon -1, which is before the first row.

move

open fun move(offset: Int): Boolean

Move the cursor by a relative amount, forward or backward, from the current position. Positive offsets move forwards, negative offsets move backwards. If the final position is outside of the bounds of the result set then the resultant position will be pinned to -1 or count() depending on whether the value is off the front or end of the set, respectively.

This method will return true if the requested destination was reachable, otherwise, it returns false. For example, if the cursor is at currently on the second entry in the result set and move(-5) is called, the position will be pinned at -1, and false will be returned.

Parameters
`offset`	Int: the offset to be applied from the current position.

Return
`Boolean`	whether the requested move fully succeeded.

moveToFirst

open fun moveToFirst(): Boolean

Move the cursor to the first row.

This method will return false if the cursor is empty.

Return
`Boolean`	whether the move succeeded.

moveToLast

open fun moveToLast(): Boolean

Move the cursor to the last row.

This method will return false if the cursor is empty.

Return

moveToPosition

open fun moveToPosition(position: Int): Boolean

Move the cursor to an absolute position. The valid range of values is -1 <= position <= count.

This method will return true if the request destination was reachable, otherwise, it returns false.

Return
`Boolean`	whether the move succeeded.

registerContentObserver

open fun registerContentObserver(observer: ContentObserver!): Unit

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

registerDataSetObserver

open fun registerDataSetObserver(observer: DataSetObserver!): Unit

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

open fun requery(): Boolean

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

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.

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

respond

open fun respond(extras: Bundle!): Bundle!

Parameters
`extras`	Bundle!: extra values, or `Bundle.EMPTY`. Never `null`.

Return
`Bundle!`	extra values, or `Bundle.EMPTY`. Never `null`.

setNotificationUri

open fun setNotificationUri(
    cr: ContentResolver!, 
    uri: Uri!
): Unit

Register to watch a content URI for changes. This can be the URI of a specific data row (for example, "content://my_provider_type/23"), or a a generic URI for a content type.

Calling this overrides any previous call to setNotificationUris(ContentResolver,List).

Parameters
`cr`	ContentResolver!: The content resolver from the caller's context. The listener attached to this resolver will be notified.
