Android SQLite: Update Statement

Question

I need to implement SQLite in my application. I followed this tutorial.. Creating and using databases in Android one

Everything is working fine. I inserted 1 row wit

Answer 1

you can always execute SQL.

update [your table] set [your column]=value

for example

update Foo set Bar=125

Answer 2

You can use the code below.

String strFilter = "_id=" + Id;
ContentValues args = new ContentValues();
args.put(KEY_TITLE, title);
myDB.update("titles", args, strFilter, null);

Answer 3

The SQLiteDatabase object depends on the type of operation on the database.

More information, visit the official website:

https://developer.android.com/training/basics/data-storage/databases.html#UpdateDbRow

It explains how to manipulate consultations on the SQLite database.

INSERT ROW

Gets the data repository in write mode

SQLiteDatabase db = mDbHelper.getWritableDatabase();

Create a new map of values, where column names are the keys

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(FeedEntry.COLUMN_NAME_ENTRY_ID, id);
values.put(FeedEntry.COLUMN_NAME_TITLE, title);
values.put(FeedEntry.COLUMN_NAME_CONTENT, content);

Insert the new row, returning the primary key value of the new row

long newRowId;
newRowId = db.insert(
     FeedEntry.TABLE_NAME,
     FeedEntry.COLUMN_NAME_NULLABLE,
     values);

UPDATE ROW

Define 'where' part of query.

String selection = FeedEntry.COLUMN_NAME_ENTRY_ID + " LIKE ?";

Specify arguments in placeholder order.

String[] selectionArgs = { String.valueOf(rowId) };


SQLiteDatabase db = mDbHelper.getReadableDatabase();

New value for one column

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(FeedEntry.COLUMN_NAME_TITLE, title);

Which row to update, based on the ID

String selection = FeedEntry.COLUMN_NAME_ENTRY_ID + " LIKE ?";
String[] selectionArgs = { String.valueOf(rowId) };
    int count = db.update(
    FeedReaderDbHelper.FeedEntry.TABLE_NAME,
    values,
    selection,
    selectionArgs);

Answer 4

You can try:

db.execSQL("UPDATE DB_TABLE SET YOUR_COLUMN='newValue' WHERE id=6 ");

Or

ContentValues newValues = new ContentValues();
newValues.put("YOUR_COLUMN", "newValue");

db.update("YOUR_TABLE", newValues, "id=6", null);

Or

ContentValues newValues = new ContentValues();
newValues.put("YOUR_COLUMN", "newValue");

String[] args = new String[]{"user1", "user2"};
db.update("YOUR_TABLE", newValues, "name=? OR name=?", args);

I use this class to handle database.I hope it will help some one in future.

Happy coding.

public class Database {

Answer 6

It's all in the tutorial how to do that:

    ContentValues args = new ContentValues();
    args.put(columnName, newValue);
    db.update(DATABASE_TABLE, args, KEY_ROWID + "=" + rowId, null);

Use ContentValues to set the updated columns and than the update() method in which you have to specifiy, the table and a criteria to only update the rows you want to update.
