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

An implementation found at Ormlite Cursor also checks for Null which none of the other answers do.

   public boolean getBoolean(int columnIndex) {
        if (cursor.isNull(columnIndex) || cursor.getShort(columnIndex) == 0) {
            return false;
        } else {
            return true;
        }
    }
