Get boolean from database using Android and SQLite

Question

How can I obtain the value of a boolean field in an SQLite database on Android?

I usually use getString(), getInt(), etc. to get the values

Answer 1

Most of the answers here can result in NumberFormatExceptions or "operator is undefined for the types null, int" if the column you stored the int in was allowed to also hold null. The decent way to do this would be to use

Boolean.parseBoolean(cursor.getString(booleanColumnIndex));`

though you are now limited to storing the strings "true" and "false" rather than 0 or 1.
