Listen to any changes in a cursor in android

Question

I would like to listen to any changes in a cursor. Is it possible to achieve this without using a contentprovider in android?

Note:(I am not using any data adapter)

Thanks

As far as I know, if your changes in the cursor are due to requery() or some other method on the cursor like close(), then you can use a dataset observer to track the changes.

But you will need a content provider, if you want to be updated automatically when something changes in your data source, eg your sqlite database.
