I'm trying to understand why they would start the cursor before the first position in a row and why it would end after the last position. Is there an inherit advantage to doing it this way?
For example:
public abstract int getPosition ()Since: API Level 1 Returns the current position of the cursor in the row set. The value is zero-based. When the row set is first returned the cursor will be at position -1, which is before the first row. After the last row is returned another call to next() will leave the cursor past the last entry, at a position of count().
returns the current cursor position.
Thank you.
