Question

I am in a situation where I will probably need to manipulate two separate Cursor objects. I was hoping there was someway to create our own Cursor by combining two separate ones. But I am not sure if it is even allowed. Read somewhere you can’t, but I wanted to devote a specific question to that so it is at least given some attention for others who have a similar situation.

Have you tried MergeCursor? Quoting the documentation:

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.

Also, if your objective is to display both Cursors in some form of AdapterView, you could use my MergeAdapter and concatenate things at the Adapter level
