ORMLite with CursorAdapter in Android

Question

I am modifying my Android app to work with ORMLite, and it currently uses a number of CursorAdapters, which I quite want to keep in an attempt to minimise coding.

Answer 1

It turns out I did need a raw SQL query with ORMLite after all as I needed to do a Left Join, (i.e. not as a result of having to rename the id column in a query, that is not necessary as per Gray's answer above)

The way I did it is below:

public class DatabaseHelper extends OrmLiteSqliteOpenHelper{
   public void myRawQueryMethod() {
        SQLiteDatabase database = this.getReadableDatabase();
        String SqlQuery = "Write raw SQL query here"; 
        Cursor cursor = database.rawQuery(SqlQuery, null);
    }
}

Thanks for advice
