I am developing an android app, where I want to update a column in a row based on a where clause which comprises of two values. Below is what I have tried.
public void setlocationsetcolumn(double lats , double longs, String setvalue)
{
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(Loc_set, setvalue);
db.update(TABLE_LATLONG, values, " WHERE "+Loc_lati +" = " + lats+" AND "+Loc_longi+" = "+longs, null);
}
I wan to update the Loc_set, based on the lats & longs values. but i am getting a force close. Am I doing something wrong here. Please help.Thanks!
below snippet will help you.
String[] args = new String[]{lats, longs};
db.update(TABLE_LATLONG, values, "Loc_lati=? AND Loc_longi=?", args);
Drop the WHERE String . Try this :
db.update(TABLE_LATLONG, values, Loc_lati +" = " + lats+" AND "+Loc_longi+" = "+longs, null);
However, I Don't know what loc_lati and loc_longi are, hopefully columns in your db.
String[] args = new String[]{lats, longs};
db.update(TABLE_LATLONG, values, "Loc_lati=? AND Loc_longi=?", args);
You can use this logic for the update of table.

I've a situation in sqlite that make you an example: My table has two fields,"_id" and "_score" . I have a record with _id=1, _score=10. I want to update this row to 5 number more than the current value(10). in SQL i can do it simple like:
Update my_table set _score = _score + 5 where _id = 1
but in sqlite I have these that I don't know how can fix it to what I want :
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("_score", my_value);
SQLiteDatabase db = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(DB_PATH + DB_NAME, null, SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READWRITE);
int id = db.update(MY_TABLE,values,"_id = ?",new String[]{String.valueOf(my_id)});
and the Other problem is the returned value. I think in above example I give
id = 1
for 1 row effected. but I want to know that: Is there any way to retrieve the value of updated column(in my example I want to give "15"). Some thing like in SQL server that we fetch from
"##ROWCOUNT" or "##fetch_status"
Hope to describe it well. thanks.
Android's update() function can set only fixed values.
To execute your SQL statement, you have to use execSQL():
db.execSQL("Update my_table set _score = _score + 5 where _id = 1");
In SQLite, the UPDATE statement does not return any data (except the count of affected rows). To get the old or new data, you have to execute a SELECT separately.
For your first problem about updating the score value try this:
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("_score", my_value);
SQLiteDatabase db = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(DB_PATH + DB_NAME, null, SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READWRITE);
int id = db.update(my_table, values, _id + " = ?",
new String[] { String.valueOf(my_id) });
}
I have the table(shown in fig). I want to update the time column. I have the medicine_id(second column) how to update the different times depend upon the same medicine_id(second column).
Also, I have four rows in my DB when I updated time it should be two row means, I want to remove the other two rows with the particular medicine_id..
I have the following code for update:
if(mon) {
for (int i = 0; i < dosage_per_day; i++) {
mMedicineDbHelper.updateMedicines(new
MedicineTime(row_id, time_InMillies[i]));
}
}
My DB code:
public void updateMedicines(MedicineTime medicineTime) {
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(ID, medicineTime.getId());
values.put(MEDICINEID, medicineTime.getMedicine_id());
values.put(TIME, medicineTime.getTime_in_millis());
db.update(TABLENAME, values, MEDICINEID + " = ?",
new String[]{String.valueOf(medicineTime.getMedicine_id())});
db.close();
}
It shows exception..
anybody help to solve this...
For the original question asked you're executing the following code:
db.update(TABLENAME, values, MEDICINEID + " = ?",
new String[]{String.valueOf(medicineTime.getMedicine_id())});
For some reason on Android, converting numeric values to Strings and using them for selection args never works properly. See: Android Sqlite selection args[] with int values. The best way to do this is the following:
db.update(TABLENAME, values, MEDICINEID + " = " + medicineTime.getMedicine_id(), null);
In my app i want to update my database table based on two column.Means update salary where firstname="ekant" and last name="kancha".So can any body plz tell me what will be the query i have to write.
public int updateStatus(int salary,String fname,String lName)
{
ContentValues cv=new ContentValues();
String where = fname+ "=" + "ekanta";
cv.put("salary",salary);
return sdb.update(DATABASE_TABLENAME, cv, where, null);
}
this code works only when i want to update based on first name..But i want to update based on firstname and lastname.
plz help me.thanx
Use placeholders. This makes it easier to read the SQL query and protects against SQL Injection (accidental or otherwise).
public int updateSalary (int salary, String fname, String lName)
{
ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
cv.put("salary", salary);
/* use COLUMN NAMES here */
String where = "firstname = ? and lastname = ?";
/* bind VALUES here */
String[] whereArgs = new { fname, lname };
return sdb.update(DATABASE_TABLENAME, cv, where, whereArgs);
}
If you have constants (e.g. private final static COLUMN_FNAME = "firstname") for the COLUMN NAMES, then you can build where using these constants.
However, do not put VALUES in the where string. Instead, use ? and supply any VALUES via the whereArgs array as per the above example.
Also, it is possible for people (even within the same organization) to share the same first name and last name. Basing the database queries/updates around such a pairing will break in such cases so it may be prudent to work on designing the API to work with a better record identifier.
use this...
String where = fname+ "=" + "ekanta" + " and " + lname + "=" + "your lastname";
Is there an easy way to update a table in sqlite in android? (like a single line in built method) ? I have a table with few columns and primary is one column. I want to search by the primary key and then update a row in the table.
To use with predefined update method from android, use it as below:
ContentValues args = new ContentValues();
args.put("col_name", "new value");
db.update("table_name", args, String.format("%s = ?", "primary_column"),
new String[]{"primary_id"});
Or to run as a single line, go with this (not recommended):
db.execSQL("UPDATE table_name SET col_name='new_value' WHERE
primary_column='primary_id'");
Read the documentation for SQLiteDatabase.update
You should end up with something like this:
affected = db.update(TABLE_NAME, values, where, whereArgs);

Avoid raw queries using error-prone syntax at all costs. I see a lot of answers here that use a lot of '"' + SOMETHING + "'" ... this is extremely bad practice and you will spend all your time looking for errors on places that are hard to find or simply a complete waste of time.
If you must use raw queries, try forming them with String.format to avoid perilous debug sessions and migraines.
You can use rawQuery like this:
cur = mDb.rawQuery("update " + TABLE_NAME
+ " set column1=mango where id='" + _id + "'",null);
where
cur is Cursor object
TABLE_NAME is NAME OF THE TABLE
_id is name of the column (only example)
Then you should already know what's your primary key.
dbHelper.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues values = createContentValues(profileVo);
db.update(ProfileVO.TABLE_NAME, values, ProfileVO.COLUMN_ID + "=" + profile.getId(), null)
Here's a good tutorial for you http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidSQLite/article.html
The answer is:
http://www.sqlite.org/lang_update.html
and
SQLiteDatabase.rawQuery(...)
Try this:
public void updateFunction(int id) {
String updateStmnt = "UPDATE YOUR_TABLE SET YOUR_COLUMN = "
+ id;
database.execSQL(updateStmnt);
}
Hope it will help.
Using database.update make it simple like this:
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MySQLiteHelper.COLUMN_NAME, name);
values.put(MySQLiteHelper.COLUMN_JOB, job);
values.put(MySQLiteHelper.COLUMN_DATE_START, date_start);
database.update(MySQLiteHelper.TABLE_EMPLOYEES, values, MySQLiteHelper.COLUMN_ID+"="+id, null);
I know this a bit old, but in case anyone needed another way:
public boolean updateNote(Note note) {
SQLiteDatabase db = notesDbHelper.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
contentValues.put(NotesDbContract.NoteEntry._ID, note.getId());
contentValues.put(NotesDbContract.NoteEntry.COLUMN_NAME_TITLE, note.getTitle());
contentValues.put(NotesDbContract.NoteEntry.COLUMN_NAME_DSECRIPTION, note.getDescription());
int result = db.update(NotesDbContract.NoteEntry.TABLE_NAME,
contentValues,
NotesDbContract.NoteEntry._ID + "=?", new String[]{String.valueOf(note.getId())}
);
db.close();
return result > 0;
}
Here is my piece of code which runs without errors, but doesn't update database:
ContentValues cv_lio = new ContentValues();
cv_lio.put("u_lio",1);
String where = "u_name" + "=" + 5;
db.update(table_name, cv_lio,where,null);
Can anyone improve my update query to work well.
Proceed as follow :
ContentValues cv_lio = new ContentValues();
cv_lio.put("u_lio",1);
String where = "u_name" + " = ?";
String[] whereArgs = new String[] {String.valueOf(5)};
db.update(table_name, cv_lio, where, whereArgs);
please refer to documentation which is, I must confess, not so clear on that precise point...
The error was at where clause corrected code can be
ContentValues cv_lio = new ContentValues();
cv_lio.put("u_lio",1);
String where = "u_name='" + un + "'";
db.update(table_name, cv_lio,where,null);
Look for Quotes when you want to show field value like the one shown above..
