class CursorLoader : AsyncTaskLoader

kotlin.Any
↳	androidx.loader.content.Loader
	↳	androidx.loader.content.AsyncTaskLoader
		↳	androidx.loader.content.CursorLoader

Static library support version of the framework's android.content.CursorLoader. Used to write apps that run on platforms prior to Android 3.0. When running on Android 3.0 or above, this implementation is still used; it does not try to switch to the framework's implementation. See the framework SDK documentation for a class overview.

Public constructors

CursorLoader

Added in 1.0.0

CursorLoader(context: Context)

Creates an empty unspecified CursorLoader. You must follow this with calls to setUri, setSelection, etc to specify the query to perform.

CursorLoader

Added in 1.0.0

CursorLoader(
    context: Context,
    uri: Uri,
    projection: Array<String!>?,
    selection: String?,
    selectionArgs: Array<String!>?,
    sortOrder: String?
)

Creates a fully-specified CursorLoader. See ContentResolver.query() for documentation on the meaning of the parameters. These will be passed as-is to that call.

Public functions

cancelLoadInBackground

fun cancelLoadInBackground(): Unit

Called on the main thread to abort a load in progress. Override this method to abort the current invocation of loadInBackground that is running in the background on a worker thread. This method should do nothing if loadInBackground has not started running or if it has already finished.

See also
`loadInBackground`

deliverResult

Added in 1.0.0

fun deliverResult(data: Cursor!): Unit

Sends the result of the load to the registered listener. Should only be called by subclasses. Must be called from the process's main thread.

Parameters
`data: Cursor!`	the result of the load

dump

fun dump(
    prefix: String!,
    fd: FileDescriptor!,
    writer: PrintWriter!,
    args: Array<String!>!
): Unit

getProjection

Added in 1.0.0

fun getProjection(): Array<String!>?

getSelection

Added in 1.0.0

fun getSelection(): String?

getSelectionArgs

Added in 1.0.0

fun getSelectionArgs(): Array<String!>?

getSortOrder

Added in 1.0.0

fun getSortOrder(): String?

getUri

Added in 1.0.0

fun getUri(): Uri

loadInBackground

Added in 1.2.0-alpha01

fun loadInBackground(): Cursor!

Called on a worker thread to perform the actual load and to return the result of the load operation. Implementations should not deliver the result directly, but should return them from this method, which will eventually end up calling deliverResult on the UI thread. If implementations need to process the results on the UI thread they may override deliverResult and do so there. To support cancellation, this method should periodically check the value of isLoadInBackgroundCanceled and terminate when it returns true. Subclasses may also override cancelLoadInBackground to interrupt the load directly instead of polling isLoadInBackgroundCanceled. When the load is canceled, this method may either return normally or throw OperationCanceledException. In either case, the Loader will call onCanceled to perform post-cancellation cleanup and to dispose of the result object, if any.

Returns
`Cursor!`	The result of the load operation.

Throws
`androidx.core.os.OperationCanceledException`	if the load is canceled during execution.

See also
`isLoadInBackgroundCanceled`
`cancelLoadInBackground`
`onCanceled`

onCanceled

Added in 1.0.0

fun onCanceled(data: Cursor!): Unit

Called if the task was canceled before it was completed. Gives the class a chance to clean up post-cancellation and to properly dispose of the result.

Parameters
`data: Cursor!`	The value that was returned by `loadInBackground`, or null if the task threw `OperationCanceledException`.

setProjection

Added in 1.0.0

fun setProjection(projection: Array<String!>?): Unit

setSelection

Added in 1.0.0

fun setSelection(selection: String?): Unit

setUri

Added in 1.0.0

Protected functions

onReset

protected fun onReset(): Unit

Subclasses must implement this to take care of resetting their loader, as per reset. This is not called by clients directly, but as a result of a call to reset. This will always be called from the process's main thread.

onStartLoading

protected fun onStartLoading(): Unit

Starts an asynchronous load of the contacts list data. When the result is ready the callbacks will be called on the UI thread. If a previous load has been completed and is still valid the result may be passed to the callbacks immediately. Must be called from the UI thread

onStopLoading

protected fun onStopLoading(): Unit

Must be called from the UI thread
