Android - Can SQLite Cursor's be used after closing the database?

Question

First of all, correct me if I\'m wrong, but if you close a database connection, you can\'t use the Cursor you got from it, correct?

db.open();
Cursor c = db.quer

Correct.

So is it there any way to use the Cursor after closing the database?

I don't think so. I always closed the database when I'm done with the Cursor, even if I pass the cursor to another Cursor object.

Like is there any way to pass it elsewhere and use it kinda like an object?

Create method that will return cursorobject; and use the method wherever you need it. (Also create method that will close db after you are done)

Or do you always have to leave the database connection open until you are done with the cursor?

Otherwise the cursor will screw up.
