Android sqlite get boolean from database



was just wondering, how can I obtain the value of a boolean field in a sqlite database in android?





I usually use getString() getInt() etc to get the values of my fields, but there does not seem to be a getBoolean() method.





Any takers?

  1. If memory serves me right:


    boolean value = cursor.getInt(boolean_column_index)>0;

  2. There is no bool data type in SQLITE. Use an int that you fix to 0 or 1 to achieve that effect. See the datatypes reference on SQLite3.

  3. You can also use
    boolean value =cursor.getString(boolean_column_index).contains("true");

  4. boolean value = (cursor.getInt(boolean_column_index) == 1);

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
