Question

I want to check if records exist in the SQLite database, here\'s what I have done so far. when I search for a already existing records im getting value from EditText in list.

Answer 1

Select a single row from your table, is you get results = it exists, else it doesn't.

public boolean doesStationExist(String name){
    final String query = "SELECT stationName FROM review WHERE stationId='"+name+"' LIMIT 1";
    try (SQLiteDatabase database = getReadableDatabase();
         Cursor c = database.rawQuery(query, null)) {
        return c.moveToFirst();
    }
}

By the way, the cursor returned from rawQuery is never null.

Edit:

The updated code will close the database and the cursor once the try block finishes. This is called try-with-resources.
