Question

My code is like below:

Cursor getResults() {
    SQLiteDatabase db = dbHelper.getReadableDatabase();
    Cursor c = qb.query(db, projection, null, null,
                        null, null, null);
    db.close();
    return c;
}

My question is, after db.close() is executed, is the cursor c still alive and navigable?

Thanks.

No. You do not want to use a cursor while the database is closed. When you call close(), it makes the object (and it’s corresponding cursor) invalid.
