MongoCursor has no count() method?

Question

So my code is:

FindIterable<Document> findIterable = collection.find().skip(20).limit(10);
MongoCursor<Document> cursor = findIterable.iterator();
while (cursor.hasNext()) {
    Document doc = cursor.next();
    // My stuff with documents here
}
cursor.close(); // in finally block

Now I want to know the total count of documents before skip and limit.

There is an answer for exact same question, but I have mongo-java-driver v3.1.0 and API I use is different. There is no methods count() or size() in both FindIterable and MongoCursor classes. Thanks!

UPDATE

Seems like the only workaround is making another call to mongodb: collection.count as said @Philipp

Answer 1

The count method can now be found in MongoCollection:

int count = collection.count();

returns the total number of documents in a collection.

int count = collection.count(criteria);

returns the number of documents in a collection which match the given criteria.
