i am trying to optimize my application. I noticed that cursor.movetofirst() method somehow slowing the performance of my code.

Cursor cursor = myDbHelper.getDayInfo(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").format(myCalendar.getTime());

above line executes in 10 ms in 2.1 emulator, and

if(cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst())

this line took about 1.6 seconds. I made little search about this. Somepeople say make it in another thread or in asynctask, but this will make the code more complicated.
I ‘m just trying to figure out what is actually happening to this cursor.
Can anyone simplify or give a hint about database performance increase related to my question?

    It is natural, that moveToFirst() method gets much more time that other code. The data enquariyng actually takes place, which invokes database communication, data reading and so on. You actually can’t do anything with it. The advice was right – move all the long operations to AsyncTask.
