How to get last record from table SQLite

I have problem with receiving last data from table in Android SQLite.
Adding values works great but I struggle with receiving last date from table, here is code:
int getKoniec() {
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
String sortOrder = TABELA_koniec + " DESC LIMIT 1";
Cursor cursor = db.query(
TABELA,
new String[] { "koniec" },
null,
null,
null,
null,
sortOrder
);
if(cursor != null) {
cursor.moveToFirst();
}
int koniecINT = cursor.getInt(0);
Log.v("VALUE: ","" + koniecINT);
cursor.close();
return koniecINT;
}
While adding values 10,9,8,7.. output (return koniecINT) is always 10.
Can you help me to solve this problem? Thanks

Try this query
select * from table_name order by row_id desc limit 1
or
mCursor.moveToLast();

Can't get any values in the cursor

I'm confused why I can't get any values in the cursor.
What's wrong in my code..
here's the code..
sqLiteDatabase = getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = sqLiteDatabase.query("bank",new String[]{"name", "acno", "available"},"bank_index = ?",new String[]{String.valueOf(bank_index)},null,null,null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("name"));
String acno = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("acno"));
contentValues.put("bank", name + " Account number: " + acno);
I got error of CursorOutOfBoundsException on last third line of the above code..
query of the table:
sqLiteDatabase.execSQL("create table bank(bank_index integer primary key,name text,acno text,branch text,available text)");

Before performing any operation on cursor, you must check
if(cursor != null && cursor.getCount() > 0 ) {
//go ahead
}
//You can also try
String query = "SELECT name, acno, available FROM bank WHERE bank_index = '"+String.valueOf(bank_index)+"'";
Cursor cursor = sqLiteDatabase.rawQuery(query,null);

How to use th SUM function to return the values from sqlite DB in android?

In my application, store the amount details of company in my sq lite DB.For example om my first position of DB in name column-company 1,total column - 400,second position of DB in name column-company 2,total column - 800,third position of DB in name column-company 1,total column - 500.how Sum the company 1 details only to return the total amount.
My main coding is,
String str = db.company_amount("Company 1");
Log.v("Total", ""+str);
My DB coding is,
String company_amount(String name){
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
String s = "";
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT SUM(KEY_AMOUNT) FROM TABLE_BILL_DETAILS WHERE = ?", new String[] {String.valueOf(name)});
if (cursor != null) {
if (cursor.moveToNext()) {
s = cursor.getString(1);
return cursor.getString(1);
}
cursor.close();
}
return s;
}
It shows some error,I don't know how to return the values.Can any one know please help me to solve this problem.

SQLiteDatabase db = getReadableDatabase();
String sql = "SELECT SUM(KEY_AMOUNT) FROM TABLE_BILL_DETAILS WHERE name = ?";
long sum = android.database.DatabaseUtils.longForQuery(db, sql, new String[]{name});

WHERE = ?
This is incorrect SQL syntax. You forgot to specify which field you're comparing with the argument. I guess it's name or something similar, so correct syntax would be something like:
WHERE name = ?

you can use to get details using id like this.
public int getTotalOfAmount(int id) {
odb = dbh.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor c = odb.rawQuery("SELECT SUM(" + KEY_AMOUNT + ") FROM " + DATABASE_TABLE + " WHERE " + KEY_ID + " = " + id, null);
c.moveToFirst();
int i = c.getInt(0);
c.close();
return i;
}
.

row id from database

i am trying to do a query of my database for a string lets call it "Test" and then find out what row that particular string is in and save that number to use. I thought i had this figured out before but now it is not working for some reason and i get an error saying no such column "Test".
here is my code
public String getRow(String value){
ContactDB db = new ContactDB(this);
db.open();
Cursor curs = db.getId(value);
String test = curs.getString(curs.getColumnIndex(db.NAME));
curs.close();
Log.v("Contact", "Row ID: " + test);
db.close();
return test;
}
"Test" is sent into that as value
this is in my database
//---retrieve contact id---
public Cursor getId(String where){
Cursor c = db.query(DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {ID},where,null,null,null,null);
if (c != null)
c.moveToFirst();
return c;
}
i dont remember changing anything from when i first tested it so i dont know why it wont work now

There are 2 errors that i could notice:
In the query
Cursor c = db.query(DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {ID},where,null,null,null,null);
only the ID column is selected whereas you are trying to fetch details for column NAME
String test = curs.getString(curs.getColumnIndex(db.NAME));
include the name column as well in the select clause : something like
Cursor c = db.query(DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {ID,NAME},where,null,null,null,null);
In the where clause you need to write the condition string excluding "where"
in your case String where contains value "Test". Hence the filter condition should be as
String whereClasue = NAME + " = '" + where + "'";
The query should be something like this:
public Cursor getId(String where){
Cursor c = db.query(DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {ID,PHONE_NUMBER,NAME},NAME + " = '" + where + "'",null,null,null,null);
if (c != null)
c.moveToFirst();
return c;
}

Get last inserted value from sqlite database Android

I am trying to get the last inserted rowid from a sqlite database in Android. I have read a lot of posts about it, but can't get one to work.
This is my method:
public Cursor getLastId() {
return mDb.query(DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {KEY_WID}, KEY_WID + "=" + MAX(_id), null, null, null, null, null);}
I have tried with MAX, but I must be using it wrong. Is there another way?

Well actually the SQLiteDatabase class has its own insert method which returns the id of the newly created row. I think this is the best way to get the new ID.
You can check its documentation here.
I hope this helps.

Use
SELECT last_insert_rowid();
to get the last inserted rowid.
If you are using AUTOINCREMENT keyword then
SELECT * from SQLITE_SEQUENCE;
will tell you the values for every table.

To get the last row from the table..
Cursor cursor = theDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE, columns,null, null, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToLast();

Use moveToLast() in Cursor interface.
From android.googlesource.com
/**
* Move the cursor to the last row.
*
* <p>This method will return false if the cursor is empty.
*
* #return whether the move succeeded.
*/
boolean moveToLast();
Simple example:
final static String TABLE_NAME = "table_name";
String name;
int id;
//....
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM " + TABLE_NAME, null);
if(cursor.moveToLast()){
//name = cursor.getString(column_index);//to get other values
id = cursor.getInt(0);//to get id, 0 is the column index
}
Or you can get the last row when insertion(Which is #GorgiRankovski have mentioned):
long row = 0;//to get last row
//.....
SQLiteDatabase db= this.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
contentValues.put(COLUMN_NAME, name);
row = db.insert(TABLE_NAME, null, contentValues);
//insert() returns the row ID of the newly inserted row, or -1 if an error occurred
Also their is a multiple ways you can do this using query:
One is expressed by #DiegoTorresMilano
SELECT MAX(id) FROM table_name. or to get all columns values SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE id = (SELECT MAX(id) FROM table_name).
If your PRiMARY KEY have sat to AUTOINCREMENT, you can SELECT vaules occording to max to min and limit the rows to 1 using SELECT id FROM table ORDER BY column DESC LIMIT 1
(If you want each and every value, use * instead of id)

If you want the last_insert_id just afert a insert you can use that :
public long insert(String table, String[] fields, String[] vals )
{
String nullColumnHack = null;
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
for (int i = 0; i < fields.length; i++)
{
values.put(fields[i], vals[i]);
}
return myDataBase.insert(table, nullColumnHack, values);
}

The insert method returns the id of row just inserted or -1 if there was an error during insertion.
long id = db.insert("your insertion statement");
db is an instance of your SQLiteDatabase.

Try this:
public Cursor getLastId() {
return mDb.query(DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] { **MAX(id)** }, null, null, null, null, null, null);}

/**
* #return
*/
public long getLastInsertId() {
long index = 0;
SQLiteDatabase sdb = getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = sdb.query(
"sqlite_sequence",
new String[]{"seq"},
"name = ?",
new String[]{TABLENAME},
null,
null,
null,
null
);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
index = cursor.getLong(cursor.getColumnIndex("seq"));
}
cursor.close();
return index;
}

I use this
public int lastId(){
SQLiteDatabase db =
this.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor res = db.rawQuery( "select * from resep", null );
res.moveToLast();
return res.getInt(0);
}

In your DbHelper class,
public long getLastIdFromMyTable()
{
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
SQLiteStatement st = db.compileStatement("SELECT last_insert_rowid() from " + MY_TABLE);
return st.simpleQueryForLong();
}
