Listen to any changes in a cursor in android

Question

I would like to listen to any changes in a cursor.Is it possible to acheive this without using a contentprovider in android?

Note:(I am not using any data adapter)

Answer 1

As far as I know, if your changes in the cursor are due to requery() or some other method on the cursor like close(), then you can use a dataset observer to track the changes.

But you will need a content provider, if you want to be updated automatically when something changes in your data source, eg your sqlite database. In that case, you can check the info posted below.

What cursor are you using?
