How to return unique rows within a column in Android SQLite?

Really开发者_如何学运维 all I want to do is say the query SELECT DISTINCT column FROM table but I can't figure out how to structure it in the enourmous query methods that are part of SQLiteDatabase

I'm just trying to get the names of all contacts in a table.

You seem to know the sql query you want to run. Have you tried using rawQuery()?

You will probably find this version of the SQLiteDatabase#query method most useful.
