CursorWindow

public class CursorWindow
extends SQLiteClosable implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.database.sqlite.SQLiteClosable
     ↳ android.database.CursorWindow


A buffer containing multiple cursor rows.

A CursorWindow is read-write when initially created and used locally. When sent to a remote process (by writing it to a Parcel), the remote process receives a read-only view of the cursor window. Typically the cursor window will be allocated by the producer, filled with data, and then sent to the consumer for reading.

Parameters
name String: The name of the cursor window, or null if none.

CursorWindow

Added in API level 1
CursorWindow (boolean localWindow)

This constructor was deprecated in API level 15.
There is no longer a distinction between local and remote cursor windows. Use the CursorWindow(String) constructor instead.

Creates a new empty cursor window.

The cursor initially has no rows or columns. Call setNumColumns(int) to set the number of columns before adding any rows to the cursor.

Parameters
localWindow boolean: True if this window will be used in this process only, false if it might be sent to another processes. This argument is ignored.

Public methods

allocRow

Added in API level 1
boolean allocRow ()

Allocates a new row at the end of this cursor window.

Returns
boolean True if successful, false if the cursor window is out of memory.

clear

Added in API level 1
void clear ()

Clears out the existing contents of the window, making it safe to reuse for new data.

The start position (getStartPosition()), number of rows (getNumRows()), and number of columns in the cursor are all reset to zero.

Added in API level 1
void copyStringToBuffer (int row, 
                int column, 
                CharArrayBuffer buffer)

Copies the text of the field at the specified row and column index into a CharArrayBuffer.

The buffer is populated as follows:

  • If the buffer is too small for the value to be copied, then it is automatically resized.
  • If the field is of type FIELD_TYPE_NULL, then the buffer is set to an empty string.
  • If the field is of type FIELD_TYPE_STRING, then the buffer is set to the contents of the string.
  • If the field is of type FIELD_TYPE_INTEGER, then the buffer is set to a string representation of the integer in decimal, obtained by formatting the value with the printf family of functions using format specifier %lld.
  • If the field is of type FIELD_TYPE_FLOAT, then the buffer is set to a string representation of the floating-point value in decimal, obtained by formatting the value with the printf family of functions using format specifier %g.
  • If the field is of type FIELD_TYPE_BLOB, then a SQLiteException is thrown.

Parameters
row int: The zero-based row index.

toString

Added in API level 1
String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

Returns
String a string representation of the object.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 1
void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: The Parcel in which the object should be written.
flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE.

Protected methods

finalize

Added in API level 1
void finalize ()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of system resources or to perform other cleanup.

The general contract of finalize is that it is invoked if and when the JavaTM virtual machine has determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be finalized. The finalize method may take any action, including making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose of finalize, however, is to perform cleanup actions before the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is permanently discarded.

The finalize method of class Object performs no special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of Object may override this definition.

The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will invoke the finalize method for any given object. It is guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method, the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.

After the finalize method has been invoked for an object, no further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized, at which point the object may be discarded.

The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java virtual machine for any given object.

Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise ignored.

Throws
Throwable

onAllReferencesReleased

Added in API level 1
void onAllReferencesReleased ()

Called when the last reference to the object was released by a call to releaseReference() or close().

Hooray!
