Say, we have a table created as:
create table notes (_id integer primary key autoincrement, created_date date)
To insert a record, I'd use
ContentValues initialValues = new ContentValues();
initialValues.put("date_created", "");
long rowId = mDb.insert(DATABASE_TABLE, null, initialValues);
But how to set the date_created column to now? To make it clear, the
initialValues.put("date_created", "datetime('now')");
Is not the right solution. It just sets the column to "datetime('now')" text.
You cannot use the datetime function using the Java wrapper "ContentValues". Either you can use :
SQLiteDatabase.execSQL so you can enter a raw SQL query.
mDb.execSQL("INSERT INTO "+DATABASE_TABLE+" VALUES (null, datetime()) ");
Or the java date time capabilities :
// set the format to sql date time SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"); Date date = new Date(); ContentValues initialValues = new ContentValues(); initialValues.put("date_created", dateFormat.format(date)); long rowId = mDb.insert(DATABASE_TABLE, null, initialValues);
In my code I use DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
as the type and constraint of the column.
In your case your table definition would be
create table notes (
_id integer primary key autoincrement,
created_date date default CURRENT_DATE
)
Method 1
CURRENT_TIME – Inserts only time
CURRENT_DATE – Inserts only date
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP – Inserts both time and date
CREATE TABLE users(
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
username TEXT,
created_at DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
Method 2
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO users(username, created_at)
VALUES('ravitamada', 'datetime()'");
Method 3 Using java Date functions
private String getDateTime() {
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", Locale.getDefault());
Date date = new Date();
return dateFormat.format(date);
}
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put('username', 'ravitamada');
values.put('created_at', getDateTime());
// insert the row
long id = db.insert('users', null, values);
There are a couple options you can use:
- You could try using the string "(DATETIME('now'))" instead.
- Insert the datetime yourself, ie with System.currentTimeMillis()
- When creating the SQLite table, specify a default value for the created_date column as the current date time.
- Use SQLiteDatabase.execSQL to insert directly.
To me, the problem looks like you're sending "datetime('now')"
as a string, rather than a value.
My thought is to find a way to grab the current date/time and send it to your database as a date/time value, or find a way to use SQLite's built-in (DATETIME('NOW'))
parameter

Hopefully this helps!
You can use the function of java that is:
ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
cv.put(Constants.DATE, java.lang.System.currentTimeMillis());
In this way, in your db you save a number.
This number could be interpreted in this way:
DateFormat dateF = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance();
String data = dateF.format(new Date(l));
Instead of l into new Date(l), you shoul insert the number into the column of date.
So, you have your date.
For example i save in my db this number : 1332342462078
But when i call the method above i have this result: 21-mar-2012 16.07.42
Based on @e-satis answer I created a private method on my "DBTools" class so adding current date is now really easy:
...
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Date;
...
private String getNow(){
// set the format to sql date time
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Date date = new Date();
return dateFormat.format(date);
}
...
Use it now like this: values.put("lastUpdate", getNow());
Works for me perfect:
values.put(DBHelper.COLUMN_RECEIVEDATE, geo.getReceiveDate().getTime());
Save your date as a long.
This code example may do what you want:
Make sure that the field is not marked as 'not null' at the same time as you are trying to insert a default time stamp using the expression "(DATETIME('now'))"
