Question

I’m trying to get my ContentResolver to run this query:

select * from myTable limit 1 offset 2

The only query method in ContentResolver is:

resolver.query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, sortOrder);

I’ve tried:

final Cursor c = resolver.query(
        MyTable.CONTENT_URI,
        MyTable.PROJECTION,
        " ? ?",
        new String[] {"1", "2"},
        null);

Which just throws an IllegaLArgumentException.
What is the correct way of achieving this?

Answer 1

I put the LIMIT clause in the sordOrder parameter, I’ve also seen the same thing done by others but not sure if its 100% correct:

final Cursor c = resolver.query(
        MyTable.CONTENT_URI,
        MyTable.PROJECTION,
        null,
        null,
        " limit 1 offset 2");
