Notify data change in a cursor without using a ContentProvider

Question

Can i notify a cursor after a new record is inserted in a table without using a ContentProvider?

I saw this question - he said that he used the requery() method.

And the first answer use a ContentProvider - note: I want to use this data only within the application

Any suggestion?

If your data is not related to db and any change in data of list is done then call notifydatasetchanged() on adapter and the list will be refreshed — ingsaurabh, Oct 31 '11 at 12:39
You can still use a content provider and maintain the data private to your application by setting `android:exported` to `false` in the provider XML declaration within the manifest. — Giulio Piancastelli, Oct 31 '11 at 12:53
Content Providers are useless. They only cover to most basic crud queries and nothing else, there's a lot more to SQL then that. — user999717, Oct 31 '11 at 19:49
Have you considered CursorLoader? Loaders are supposed to monitor data for modifications. — mark.kedzierski, Feb 12 '13 at 21:28

if you're not using content providers and cursorloaders, you have to go old school. Your DB curser should have a "requery" invoked. The documentation warns against this expensive code, but that's why they made cursorloaders - to address those issues.
