B4J Library [Class] ResultCursor: cursor-like SQLite database object for compatibility with Android Cursor

IMHO, cross-platform ResultSet class has disadvantages comparing to Android's cursor: access to any row, iterating the set many times (questions: one, two).
And if there is a need to clone Android project with many Cursors objects to B4J ResultSet - i guess, such new class may help to simplify the migration (memory consumption question is passed by).
If i'm wrong - please, help me to understand in the discussion below.


I tried to preserve the structure of Cursor class

B4X:

Full testing project is attached, depending on:
  • jSQL lib
  • JavaObject lib
  • DButils code module (not strong, used for testing project)
Any comments and updates are welcome here.

Changes:
  • v.0.11: added IsInitialized property
