Android move backward among the records

Question

I am using cursor to find out max id number then I need to go to 5 backwards of that record. For example, I am in id=9 and I want to go to id=5,How can I do it ? I tried

int position=cursor.getPosition();  
cursor.moveToPosition(position-5);

But, It gives an error

 ID  TITLE     FOLDER   PARENT
    1   folder1      1        0
    2   item1        0        1
    3   item2        0        1
    4   folder2      1        1
    5   item1        0        4
    6   item2        0        4
    7   folder3      1        4
    8   item1        0        7
    9   item2        0        7

Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT id,title,folder,parent FROM mydata WHERE " + "id = (SELECT MAX(id) FROM mydata ); ",null);

Answer 1

You can try:

cursor.moveToPosition(cursor.getCount() - 5);

This assumes you have at least 5 items in the cursor.

Update

You are only requesting the details on the row with the highest id.

To get your original request try this query:

SELECT id,title,folder,parent FROM mydata

With the code suggestion above.
