Is Android Cursor.moveToNext() Documentation Correct?

boolean android.database.Cursor.moveToNext() documentation says:

Move th

Answer 1

A simpler idiom is:

Cursor cursor = db.query(...);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
    // use cursor
}

This works because the initial cursor position is -1, see the Cursor.getPosition() docs.

You can also find usages of cursors in the Android source code itself with this Google Code Search query. Cursor semantics are the same in SQLite database and content providers.
