Hi, The query doesn't actually do much. The Cursor is lazily loaded so it's only the first method call to access data (like getCount()) that loads the content of the rows.

A Cursor is not necessarily backed by a database. Also, it will depend on how much data you are querying and returning. -- Romain Guy Android framework engineer romain...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.
