How to add limit clause using content provider [duplicate]

Answer 1

A content provider should on general principle pay attention to a limit parameter. Unfortunately, it is not universally implemented.

For instance, when writing a content provider to handle SearchManager queries:

String limit = uri.getQueryParameter(SearchManager.SUGGEST_PARAMETER_LIMIT);

Where it isn't implemented you can only fall back on the ugly option of gluing a limit on the sort clause.
