Logging SQL queries in android

Question

I am using the query functions in order to build the SQL queries for my tables. Is there a way to see the actual query that is run? For instance log it somewher

If you are using a ContentProvider to access the DB, this is how I got it logging the queries. Not a perfect solution, but it works for development

@Override
  public boolean onCreate() {
    dbHelper = new MySQLiteHelper(getContext());
    database=dbHelper.getWritableDatabase();

    if(!database.isReadOnly())
      database.execSQL("PRAGMA foreign_keys=ON;");
    return true;
  }            

  SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory cursorFactory = new SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory() {      
    @Override
    public Cursor newCursor(SQLiteDatabase db, SQLiteCursorDriver masterQuery, String editTable, SQLiteQuery query) {
      Log.d(TAG, "Query: "+query);

      return new SQLiteCursor(db, masterQuery, editTable, query);
    }
  };

  @Override
  public Cursor query(Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection,
      String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder) {
    String table =getTableName(uri);

    if(Constants.LOG_QUERIES){
      database = SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(database.getPath(), cursorFactory);
    }

    Cursor cursor =database.query(table,  projection, selection, selectionArgs, null, null, sortOrder);
    cursor.moveToFirst();

    return cursor;
  }

It'll throw a DatabaseNotClosed exception, but you'll be able to see the query
