watched has boolean values . When i query it returns a Cursor, in the Cursor i want all the records where "watched = false " to be shown first , followed by the records where "watched = true ".

Answer 1

You would use ORDER BY so you can do something like this: SELECT * FROM TABLENAME ORDER BY WATCHED then to switch it from true or false ordered first you can use DESC or ASC at the end. Your statement would be: SELECT * FROM TABLENAME ORDER BY WATCHED ASC

DESC keyword means descending so in your case it would show true first ASC keyword means ascending which would show false first
