Adding rows into Cursor manually

Question

I have an array of phone numbers and I want to get the corresponding contact names from the contacts database.

In the array of phone numbers, I also have some number

Answer 1

I know this an old post, but it is a real pain that rows can not be added manually to a Cursor. I have come up with a crude solution. It might be of some help.

Cursor is actually an interface and you can create a custom class that implements the Cursor interface.

class ManualCursor implements Cursor{
      // ....
      private Vector rows;

      public void addRow(String[] values){
            rows.add(values);
      }

      // Implement the necessary methods, getString(int), etc.

      //....
}

And finally in your code

if (cursors[i].getCount() == 0){
     cursors[i] = new ManualCursor();
     cursors[i].addRow(rowValues);
}

That should do it. But be warned though, for this to work, you have to be wise while implementing the Cursor interface.
