Should I have to close used cursor by ContentResolver?

For example, given the following code:

Cursor myCursor = context.getContentResolver()
    .query(MediaStore.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);`

Do I have to close "myCursor"?

Thanks.

Cursors should always be closed in some way to avoid memory leaks. However, if you are implementing LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> then overriding the following method closes the cursor for you.

@Override
public void onLoaderReset(Loader<Cursor> arg0) {
    cursorAdapter.swapCursor(null);
}
