Cursor多线程操作下的异常

       近来发现一个关于SQLiteCursor的问题，多线程操作下产生的异常，偶现。

       在Application中操作了Cursor的close()后紧接着又从DBHelper中取了新的引用。然后发广播，到Activity的Receiver中接受后，调用了app.getCursor();取得Application中的Cursor引用，调用了cursor.getCount();

结果出现了一个NullPointer错误：

   查看SQLiteCursor源码发现，

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        if (mCount == NO_COUNT) {
            fillWindow(0);
        }
        return mCount;
    }

    private void fillWindow(int requiredPos) {
        clearOrCreateWindow(getDatabase().getPath());

        if (mCount == NO_COUNT) {
            int startPos = DatabaseUtils.cursorPickFillWindowStartPosition(requiredPos, 0);
            mCount = mQuery.fillWindow(mWindow, startPos, requiredPos, true);
            mCursorWindowCapacity = mWindow.getNumRows();
            if (Log.isLoggable(TAG, Log.DEBUG)) {
                Log.d(TAG, "received count(*) from native_fill_window: " + mCount);
            }
        } else {
            int startPos = DatabaseUtils.cursorPickFillWindowStartPosition(requiredPos,
                    mCursorWindowCapacity);
            mQuery.fillWindow(mWindow, startPos, requiredPos, false);
        }
    }

   

具体是getCount的时候现判断

mCount == NO_COUNT

实际上此时cursor的count是大于0的，然后进入了fillWindow，然后在

mCursorWindowCapacity = mWindow.getNumRows();

出现了空指针错误。

    由于现象是偶现的，所以我就判定跟多线程有关，导致Cursor的问题。

   那么就需要加同步锁来解决了。具体方式有很多，此处不赘述。
