Question

I am trying to determine if a certain row exists, when I am just looking for the first row I use

Cursor_element.moveToFirst() which returns a boolean

but for other rows, what function would I use? I am trying

Cursor_element.moveToPosition(7)

where I am guessing that the moveToPosition counts cells? but I don’t know

what is the best way to determine if a row exists?

Answer 1

Use

int getCount()

Returns the numbers of rows in the cursor.

Reference: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/sqlite/SQLiteCursor.html#getCount%28%29

if (i<Cursor_element.getCount())
  Cursor_element.moveToPosition(i);
