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.

Wrap your cursor with another one that treats "_id" as an alias to your real primary key column. Example:

cursor = new CursorWrapper(cursor) {
                @Override
                public int getColumnIndexOrThrow(String columnName) throws IllegalArgumentException {
                    if ("_id".equals(columnName)) columnName = "id";
                    return super.getColumnIndexOrThrow(columnName);
                }
            };
