[android] What's the best way to iterate an Android Cursor?

The Do/While solution is more elegant, but if you do use just the While solution posted above, without the moveToPosition(-1) you will miss the first element (at least on the Contact query).

I suggest:

if (cursor.getCount() > 0) {
    cursor.moveToPosition(-1);
    while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
          <do stuff>
    }
}
