Updating rows in Android SQlite

I'm using SQlite in my Android app and the task is - how can I update all the rows in one table?
I have a 1st column with name "cl_id" (integer numbers 1-2-3-4..) and after deleting some rows, I wan't to make a cycle to fill this 1st column with a new values to keep them in right order.
I was trying to execute:
data.put("cl_id",index);
db.update("mdb_table_contactList", data, null, null);
but it's updates all the values in the first column :(

To update the field in specific row, try this;
ContentValues data = new ContentValues();
data.put("cl_id",index);
db.update("mdb_table_contactList", data, "id="+_id, null);
db.close();
It's good practice to have a primary key for each row data.
Here _id would be your primary key.

"just give rowId and type of data that is going to be update in ContentValues."
public void updateStatus(String id , int status){
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues data = new ContentValues();
data.put("status", status);
db.update(TableName, data, "columnName" + " = "+id , null);
}

Try this it must work
void updateDatail(String id) {
ContentValues data = new ContentValues();
data.put("cl_id",index);
db.update("mdb_table_contactList", data, "id=?", new String[]{id});
db.close();
}

What does this mean "id =?"

What does this line mean in my code "id =?",new String[]{id} .I have been trying find out on the internet but I can't seem to find an answer.
public boolean updateData(String id,String name,String quantity,String category,String importance ) {
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
contentValues.put(COL_1, id);
contentValues.put(COL_2, name);
contentValues.put(COL_3, quantity);
contentValues.put(COL_4, category);
contentValues.put(COL_5, importance);
Log.d("data","id="+id);
Log.d("name",name);
Log.d("quantity",quantity);
Log.d("category",category);
Log.d("importance",importance);
db.update(Table_Name,contentValues,"id =?",new String[]{id});
return true;
}

These are in fact two distinct arguments to function SQLiteDatabase.update. The first ("id =?") is an update condition. This condition filters rows to update by a particular criteria, in this case by column id. The question mark is later subsituted by an argument in the next parameter, that defines an array of String objects that should be used for substitution of the placeholders (in this case question marks).

How to Insert or Update table On base of Name value in Sqlite android

public long createCountry(String code, String name, String continent,
String region) {
ContentValues initialValues = new ContentValues();
initialValues.put(KEY_PRODUCT_TYPE, code);
initialValues.put(KEY_PRODUCT_NAME, name);
initialValues.put(KEY_PRODUCT_QUANTITY, continent);
initialValues.put(KEY_PRODCUT_COST, region);
return mDb.insertWithOnConflict(SQLITE_TABLE, null, initialValues, SQLiteDatabase.CONFLICT_REPLACE);
}
this is for insert or Update function but its taking new Row if name X is alredy present in table row i want it should Update Like suppose we have 3 Entry whose name column value has X,Y,Z now Suppose i want call again this function with name X then rest of value Should update not its should create another Column please help me where am doing wrong .

There is no update-or-insert function.
You have to do this manually:
public void createCountry(String code, String name, String continent, String region) {
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(KEY_PRODUCT_TYPE, code);
values.put(KEY_PRODUCT_QUANTITY, continent);
values.put(KEY_PRODCUT_COST, region);
int updated = mDb.update(SQLITE_TABLE, values,
KEY_PRODUCT_NAME + " = ?",
new String[]{ name });
if (updated == 0) {
values.put(KEY_PRODUCT_NAME, name);
mDb.insert(SQLITE_TABLE, null, values);
}
}

Android : database not updated

I want to update a field in my database, but the changes not saved to database.
I use The "update" method in database class but not work
Please
This is my Method
public void myupdatedb(int id,String value){
ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
cv.put("fav", "1");
mydb.update("contents", cv, "id" + "=" + id , null);
}
and in the MainActivity:
db.myupdatedb(1,"1");

From Android documentation
public int update (String table, ContentValues values, String whereClause, String[] whereArgs)
You may include ?s in the where clause, which will be replaced by the values from whereArgs. The values will be bound as Strings.
Try
mydb.update("contents", cv, "id = ?", new String[]{Integer.toString(id)});

Updating a data base with a single field

I'm currently developing an Android app. The database has 1 column only named content. Here it is the code:
public long insert(String content){
ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
contentValues.put(KEY_CONTENT, content);
return sqLiteDatabase.insert(MYDATABASE_TABLE, null, contentValues);
}
How to make an update for a specific column (according to its index) in that database?

db.update
(
MYDATABASE_TABLE, contentValues , ID_FIELD_CONST + " = ?",
new String[] { idValue }
);

You can use:
ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
cv.put(KEY1,value1);
cv.put(KEY2,value2);
//... all the fields you want to update
String where = KEY_CONTENT + " = " + value;
db.update(table_name,cv,where,null);
KEY1,KEY2 ... are the name of the fields you want to update
value1,value2... are the new values of the fields you want to update
the where String is to tell in which row you need to update.
