I'm overriding CursorAdapter and I need to get the last item, problem is that CursorAdapter has actually a get() method...but source is a db and it returns a plain object!! (I don't even know what is it, I'd expect it returning a Cursor object instead...)

Neverthless, how can I make it return an instance of my Wrapper db row class?

Example: say my db has rows like these:

id|first name| surname

I'd make a class Person from that.

Now I'd like to have a Person get(int i) method from cursor adapter...

well just use the adapter.getItem() and cast it to Cursor, and there is no need to move the cursor manually like in accepted answer

Cursor cursor = (Cursor) myCursorAdapter.getItem(position);
String myColumnValue = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("YOUR_COLUMN_NAME"));
