How to get Last record from Sqlite?

Question

I have a one table question_table and one ImageButton (Back). I need to get the last inserted record from the database after clicking on t

Answer 1

Here's a simple example that simply returns the last line without need to sort anything from any column:

"SELECT * FROM TableName ORDER BY rowid DESC LIMIT 1;"       

Answer 2

To get last record from your table..

 String selectQuery = "SELECT  * FROM " + "sqlite_sequence";
 Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
  cursor.moveToLast();

Answer 3

If you have already got the cursor, then this is how you may get the last record from cursor:

cursor.moveToPosition(cursor.getCount() - 1);
//then use cursor to read values

Answer 4

I think the top answer is a bit verbose, just use this

SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY column DESC LIMIT 1;

Answer 5

Try this:

SELECT * 
    FROM    TABLE
    WHERE   ID = (SELECT MAX(ID)  FROM TABLE);

OR

you can also used following solution:

SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY column DESC LIMIT 1;

Answer 6

Suppose you are looking for last row of table dbstr.TABNAME, into an INTEGER column named "_ID" (for example BaseColumns._ID), but could be anyother column you want.

public int getLastId() {
    int _id = 0;
    SQLiteDatabase db = dbHelper.getReadableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor = db.query(dbstr.TABNAME, new String[] {BaseColumns._ID}, null, null, null, null, null);

    if (cursor.moveToLast()) {
        _id = cursor.getInt(0);
    }

    cursor.close();
    db.close();
    return _id;
}
