Identifying datatype of a column in an SQLite Android Cursor

Question

Is there any way to identify the datatype of a column in a cursor in Android. The cursor object has a number of methods to get the columnname, column value.

I want t

Answer 1

I didn't tested yet but, try to use cursor.getType(i)

Like this:

public static List resultSetToArrayListAndroid(Cursor cursor) throws SQLException {
    int columns = cursor.getColumnCount();
    ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
    while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
        HashMap row = new HashMap(columns);
        for (int i = 1; i <= columns; ++i) {
            switch (cursor.getType(i))  {
                case Cursor.FIELD_TYPE_FLOAT:
                    row.put(cursor.getColumnName(i), cursor.getFloat(i));
                    break;
                case Cursor.FIELD_TYPE_INTEGER:
                    row.put(cursor.getColumnName(i), cursor.getInt(i));
                    break;
                case Cursor.FIELD_TYPE_STRING:
                    row.put(cursor.getColumnName(i), cursor.getString(i));
                    break;
            }
        }
        list.add(row);
    }
    return list;
}
