Android Content Provider Limiting rows returned

To limit the number of rows returned by a content provider, try this code
Product obj = new Product();

        Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(
                ProviderHelper.determineURI(obj), null, null, null, " _ID DESC LIMIT 5000");

This will return the last 5000 rows in descending order.Limit needs to be last and don't forget the column name you want to descend.
