Question

I have few activities that make use of sqlite database, there is use of Cursors of course but in every method where I use cursors I close them consistently . . .
well even I do the closing of the cursors still I get this message

I/dalvikvm( 5232):  at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCursor.finalize(SQLiteCursor.java:631)

I/dalvikvm( 5232):  at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method)

I/dalvikvm( 5232): Uncaught exception thrown by finalizer (will be discarded):

I/dalvikvm( 5232): Ljava/lang/IllegalStateException;: Finalizing cursor android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCursor@467ed108 on my_table_name that has not been deactivated or closed

What exactly is my problem ? how can I find where is the bug in my code ? should “(SQLiteCursor.java:631)” mean something to me ?

Thanks

No, but this one

      android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCursor@467ed108

could help you figure out which one is the one that has not been closed properly. You can log the cursor’s reference and you will get a similar string as above, e.g.:

      Log.d("ActivityX", cursor1);
