Cursor window could not be created from binder

Question

1 Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(MY_URI, new String[] { \"first\" }, null, null, null);
2 if (cursor != null) {
3   if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
4       first          


        

Answer 1

Try out this way:

 if (cursor != null) {
  cursor.moveToFirst();
   do {
   first = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("first"));
  }while(cursor.moveToNext());

}

Answer 2

I suspect the error may be related to you not closing your cursors properly all the time. Try:

Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(MY_URI, new String[] { "first" }, null, null, null);
if (cursor != null) {
  if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
      first = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("first"));
  }
  cursor.close(); ///// Changed here
}

The cursor should always be closed (regardless of whether or not its empty). Make sure the rest of your app is doing this as well.

Answer 3

Try another thread

new Thread(new Runnable(){ public void run(){

...here all code

}});

. But by Android SDK source codes look like 4.0.2_r1

130  private CursorWindow(Parcel source) {
131      mStartPos = source.readInt();
132      mWindowPtr = nativeCreateFromParcel(source);
133      if (mWindowPtr == 0) {
134          throw new CursorWindowAllocationException("Cursor window could not be "
135                  + "created from binder.");
136      }
137      mName = nativeGetName(mWindowPtr);
138      mCloseGuard.open("close");
139  }

where mWIndowPtr is Int
