How to get the row count of a query in Android using SQLite?

cursor.moveToNext();
cursor.getCount();

If the moveToNext() is not called, the cursorIndexOutOfBoundException may arise.

This would be more efficient because work for all versions:

int numRows = DatabaseUtils.longForQuery(db, "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_name", null);

or

int numRows = DatabaseUtils.queryNumEntries(db, "table_name");

or if you want to get number of rows which specific selection then you should go with (added in API 11)

public static long queryNumEntries (SQLiteDatabase db, String table, String selection)

Thanks :)

Cursor.getCount()
