android.database.CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException in desktop version only

Question

I am using libgdx and gdx-sqlite in Android Studio. I want to query my database using:

try {
    cursorSettings = dbHandler.rawQuery("SELECT "+COLUMN_SETTING+" FROM "+TABLE_SETTINGS+" WHERE "+COLUMN_SETTINGSID+" =13");
    System.out.println(cursorSettings.getLong(0));
} catch (SQLiteGdxException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

The desktop version works but in the Android version I get:

05-25 10:21:47.341 11978-12232/ch.shuttering.rapporte E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: GLThread 82275

Every time I do a getXXX() query from the cursor I get an error, but if I use:

try {
    cursorSettings = dbHandler.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM "+TABLE_SETTINGS);
} catch (SQLiteGdxException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
while (cursorSettings.next()) {
    Gdx.app.log("FromDb", String.valueOf(cursorSettings.getString(1)));
}

I get the correct output with all data. What is the problem?

It was the code in the Android class:

@Override
public long getLong (int columnIndex) {
    try {
        return cursor.getLong(columnIndex);
    } catch (SQLiteException e) {
        Gdx.app.log(DatabaseFactory.ERROR_TAG, "There was an error in getting the long", e);
        throw new SQLiteGdxRuntimeException(e);
    }
}

In Android the cursor points to -1, so it needs to be set to the correct position first:

@Override
public long getLong (int columnIndex) {
    try {
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        return cursor.getLong(columnIndex);
    } catch (SQLiteException e) {
        Gdx.app.log(DatabaseFactory.ERROR_TAG, "There was an error in getting the long", e);
        throw new SQLiteGdxRuntimeException(e);
    }
}

You can find this code in the library gdx-sqlite-android.jar in the class AndroidCursor.
