I tried doing this to close the cursor

public Cursor getMove(){
        String[] columns = new String[]{KEY_ID1, KEY_MOVENAME};
        Cursor cursor = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE1, columns, null, null, null, null, null);
        cursor.close();
        return cursor;
    }

now the problem is that it says

    This Line of code solves everything

      Cursor c = null;
            try {
                .....
                }
            } finally {
                if(c != null){
                    c.close();
                }       
            }

            return items;
        }
