I was wondering if it was possible to send a query via email that is created through my app as a text file, or similar format that can be viewed on a pc. The query i want to send is
public Cursor getExpiryData (){
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
Cursor expiry = db.rawQuery("select * from " + TABLE_NAME + " WHERE " + COL_4 + " BETWEEN datetime('now', 'localtime') AND datetime('now', '+30 days')", null );
return expiry;
}
To retrieve data from cursor, use this piece of code:
if (cursor.moveToFirst()){
do{
String data = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("data"));
// do what ever you want here
}while(cursor.moveToNext());
}
cursor.close();
I don't know exactly the name of your columns. You can add your table data in list of object and follow the link to send email tutorial.
Thanks!

I want to fetch phone number linked to particular email in the database. I am not able to find the query for it or how
public String getContactNumber(String email){
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
String query = "SELECT " + COLUMN_USER_MOBILE_NUMBER + " FROM " + TABLE_USER + " WHERE " + email + " = " + COLUMN_USER_EMAIL;
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(query,null);
//What to put here to extract the data.
String contact = cursor.getString(get);
cursor.close();
return contact;
}
to extract the data. Completely a beginner
Try this ..
public List<String> getMyItemsD(String emailData) {
List<String> stringList = new ArrayList<>();
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
String selectQuery = "SELECT COLUMN_USER_MOBILE_NUMBER FROM " + USER_TABLE_NAME + " WHERE email= " + emailData;
Cursor c = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
if (c != null) {
c.moveToFirst();
while (c.isAfterLast() == false) {
String name = (c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("Item_Name")));
stringList.add(name);
c.moveToNext();
}
}
return stringList;
}
public String getContactNumber(String email){
String contact = "";
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
String query = "SELECT " + COLUMN_USER_MOBILE_NUMBER + " FROM " + TABLE_USER + " WHERE " + email + " = " + COLUMN_USER_EMAIL;
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(query,null);
if(cursor.getCount()>0) {
cursor.moveToNext();
contact = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(COLUMN_USER_MOBILE_NUMBER));
}
//What to put here to extract the data.
cursor.close();
return contact;
}
From this method you get phone number value of that email which you pass any other method easily.
I'd suggest the following :-
public String getContactNumber(String email){
String contact = "NO CONTACT FOUND"; //<<<<<<<<<< Default in case no row is found.
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase(); //<<<<<<<<<< Generally getReadable gets a writable database
String[] columns_to_get = new String[]{COLUMN_USER_MOBILE_NUMBER};
String whereclause = COLUMN_USER_EMAIL + "=?";
String[] whereargs = new String[]{email};
Cursor cursor = db.query(TABLE_USER,columns_to_get,whereclause,whereargs,null,null,null);
//What to put here to extract the data.
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
contact = csr.getString(csr.getColumnIndex(COLUMN_USER_MOBILE_NUMBER));
}
cursor.close();
return contact;
}
The above does assumes that there will only be 1 row per email (which is most likely).
Explanations
A default value is set so that you can easily tell if an invalid/non-existent email is passed (you'd check the return value if need be (might be easier to simply have "" and check the length as a check)).
getReadableDatabase has been replaced with getWritableDatabase as unless there are issues with the database a writable database will be returned, as per :-
Create and/or open a database. This will be the same object returned
by getWritableDatabase() unless some problem, such as a full disk,
requires the database to be opened read-only. In that case, a
read-only database object will be returned. If the problem is fixed, a
future call to getWritableDatabase() may succeed, in which case the
read-only database object will be closed and the read/write object
will be returned in the future.
getReadableDatabase
Note no real problem either way;
The recommended query method has been used instead of the rawQuery method. This has distinct advantages, it builds the underlying SQL and also offers protection against SQL injection (just in case the email passed is input by a user).
this version of the method takes 7 parameters :-
The table name as a string
The columns to be extracted as an array of Strings (aka String array). null can be all columns.
The where clause less the WHERE keyword with ?'s to represent arguments (see next). null if no WHERE clause.
The arguments to be applied (replace ?'s 1 for 1) as a String array. null if none or no WHERE clause.
The GROUP BY clause, less the GROUP BY keywords. null if no GROUP BY clause.
The HAVING clause, less the HAVING keyword. null if no HAVING clause.
The ORDER BY clause, less the ORDER BY keywords. null if no ORDER BY clause.
SQLiteDatabase - query
- Note there are 4 query methods (see link for the subtle difference, I believe this is the most commonly used)
The data extraction is the new code. When a Cursor is returned it is at a position BEFORE THE FIRST ROW, so you need to move to a valid row. So the moveToFirst* method is suitable (note that if a move cannot be made by a move method that it will return false, hence how you can say if (cursor.moveToFirst())). The data is then extracted from the appropriate column use the **getString method, which takes an int as an argumnet for the column offset (0 in this case). However, using hard coded values can lead to issues so the getColumnIndex method is used to get the offset according to the column name (-1 is returned if the named column is not in the Cursor).
My app is using an external SQLite database. The database is created using DB Browser for SQLite software. I am using the following method to query my table with the column ENGLISH (same as en_word). However, problem is the query is slow when my database become large.
public static final String ENGLISH = "en_word";
public static final String TABLE_NAME = "words";
String sql = "SELECT * FROM " + TABLE_NAME +
" WHERE " + ENGLISH + " LIKE ? ORDER BY LENGTH(" + ENGLISH + ") LIMIT 100";
SQLiteDatabase db = initializer.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = null;
try {
cursor = db.rawQuery(sql, new String[]{"%" + englishWord.trim() + "%"});
List<Bean> wordList = new ArrayList<Bean>();
while(cursor.moveToNext()) {
String english = cursor.getString(1);
String mal = cursor.getString(2);
wordList.add(new Bean(english, mal));
}
return wordList;
} catch (SQLiteException exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();
return null;
} finally {
if (cursor != null)
cursor.close();
}
I tried to create index using DB Browser for SQLite.
CREATE INDEX `kindx` ON `words` ( `en_word` )
However, do I need to modify my code so that my app will query the database using this index? If so, how to do that?
The problem is that SQLite, like most relational databases, can use an index when the parameter to a 'like' clause ends with a wildcard, it cannot use an index when the parameter begins with a wildcard.
So, for this type of query, the index will not be used, and you wind up with a full table scan. This is why it is slower with a large number of rows.
You are actually attempting to do what is known as "full text search", which is not really possible to do efficiently without database features to support it directly.
I have not tried it, but I see that SQLite does have full-text search capabilities, and that it is supported on Android. See Full text search example in Android for an example.
This is the method that is suppose to take a long ID and return the row that matches the given id but something is wrong with my query and I cannot figure it out. Any ideas? (the column containing the id values is called "ID")
public Cursor getAllData (long ID) {
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
long thisID = ID ;
Cursor result = db.rawQuery("select * from WHERE ID = " + thisID + DataTableName,null);
return result;
}
Your SQL is malformed. The right format is select <columns> from <table> where <condition>. You will get something like select * from where <condition><table>.
Another piece of advice - don't use string concatenation to build SQL queries. It's a very bad practice and opens up your app to SQL Injection attacks. Use the parameterised version of the query methods to prevent this.
You should do it as follows :
Cursor result = db.rawQuery("select * from " + DataTableName + " WHERE ID = "+thisID,null);
And what #Danail Alexiev wanted to say to you I guess is this :
Cursor result = db.rawQuery("select * from " + DataTableName + " WHERE ID = ?",new long[]{thisID});
I'm making an Android app and using a SQLite database. In particular I'm using the rawQuery method on a database obtained through a SQLiteOpenHelper. The query I build makes use of the ? marks as placeholders for the real values, which are passed along as an array of objects (e.g., select * from table where id = ?).
The question is, is it possible to get the query with the marks already replaced, at least from the cursor returned from the rawQuery method? I mean something like select * from table where id = 56. This would be useful for debugging purposes.
It's not possible. The ? values are not bound at the SQL level but deeper, and there's no "result" SQL after binding the values.
Variable binding is a part of the sqlite3 C API, and the Android SQLite APIs just provide a thin wrapper on top. http://sqlite.org/c3ref/bind_blob.html
For debugging purposes you can log your SQL with the ?, and log the values of your bind arguments.
You could form it as a string like this
int id = 56;
String query = "select * from table where id = '" + id + "'";
and then use it as a rawQuery like this (if I understood your question properly)
Cursor mCursor = mDb.rawQuery(query, null);
You can also use the SQLiteQueryBuilder. Here is an example with a join query:
//Create new querybuilder
SQLiteQueryBuilder _QB = new SQLiteQueryBuilder();
//Specify books table and add join to categories table (use full_id for joining categories table)
_QB.setTables(BookColumns.TABLENAME +
" LEFT OUTER JOIN " + CategoryColumns.TABLENAME + " ON " +
BookColumns.CATEGORY + " = " + CategoryColumns.FULL_ID);
//Order by records by title
_OrderBy = BookColumns.BOOK_TITLE + " ASC";
//Open database connection
SQLiteDatabase _DB = fDatabaseHelper.getReadableDatabase();
//Get cursor
Cursor _Result = _QB.query(_DB, null, null, null, null, null, _OrderBy);
I have three tables (Training, Person and attendance). The connection between the table is; Training has its fields same to person. And the attendance table has only two fields training_id and person_id. When person register to the training, the training_id and person_id insert into the attendance table. Ok, I am able to insert new person. When person that was already attended to the training and want to update himself, the table (person) gets updated but in the attendance table, the person is inserted again. What I want is when the person updated himself, the attendance table should not insert him again.
I tried this;
public void registerToTraining(int training_id) {
DatabaseHelper db = DatabaseHelper.getInstance();
String query = "SELECT * FROM attendance WHERE training_id = "
+ Integer.toString(training_id) + " AND person_id = "
+ Integer.toString(this.getId()) + ";";
db.sqlCommand(query);
if(The query does not return one row or more){
String command = "INSERT INTO attendance (training_id , person_id) VALUES ("
+ Integer.toString(training_id)
+ ", "
+ Integer.toString(this.getId()) + ") ;";
db.sqlCommand(command);
}
First Query then database then make the cursor move to first or not .
if(cursor.moveFirst)
{
Aleady exsist data.
}else
{
new data insert
}
You can use a UNIQUE constraint on the columns of the table when creating it and skip the conflicting row when the constraint is violated (http://www.sqlite.org/lang_conflict.html)
CREATE TABLE attendance (training_id INT, person_id INT, UNIQUE(training_id, person_id)
ON CONFLICT IGNORE);
