Well, thanks - that seems to have done the trick, but now I am getting another error with another method - maybe you can tell me if you do things differently here as well?
public boolean isPermanent(String screen_name) { boolean output = false; try { Cursor c = mDb.query(USERS, new String[] {CONSTANT}, SCREEN_NAME + "='" + screen_name + "'", null, null, null, null); if (c != null && c.getCount() > 0) { c.moveToFirst(); output = c.getString(0).contentEquals("C"); c.close(); } } catch (Exception e) { Log.e("DBERR", e.getMessage()); } return output; } What is really annoying is that the exception is not caught in my handler, but in the System Daemon thread :o/ regards, Mikey On 16 Jun 2010, at 21:38, Justin Anderson wrote: > Also, I use different methods in my while loop: > > Cursor dbCursor; > ... > dbCursor.moveToFirst(); > while (!dbCursor.isAfterLast()) > { > //do stuff > dbCursor.moveToNext(); > } > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > There are only 10 types of people in the world... > Those who know binary and those who don't. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > On Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 2:07 PM, Mikey <frak....@gmail.com> wrote: > Mostly desperation - I will give your idea a try though - thanks! > > Mikey > > On 16 Jun 2010, at 21:04, Justin Anderson wrote: > >> I'm not entirely sure, but I noticed my code is a little different than >> yours... >> >> Before I loop over the rows in the cursor I call moveToFirst().
