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

boolean datatype is not available in Cursor.

you will get the result in an int, so you need to convert that int value to a boolean.

You can either use

boolean b = cursor.getInt(boolean_column_index) > 0;

or

boolean b = (cursor.getInt(boolean_column_index) != 0);
