How to insert value into database using sqlite in android?

Question

Could you tell me how to insert the value into the database. I just started development in android, I don't have much experience.

I just create one information class, where I create the getter and setter of the name field. package com.example.database_example;

 package com.example.database_example; public class Information { String name; public Information(String name) { // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub this.name=name; } public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } } 

Now I am creating another database class where I want to add an insert method and read data from the database.

 package com.example.database_example; import android.content.ContentValues; import android.content.Context; import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase; import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory; import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper; public class DataBaseExample extends SQLiteOpenHelper{ private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1; // Database Name private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "information"; // Contacts table name private static final String TABLE_Name= "Name"; // Contacts Table Columns names private static final String KEY_ID = "id"; private static final String KEY_NAME = "name"; public DataBaseExample(Context context) { super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION); // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub } @Override public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub String createTable= "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_Name+"(" + KEY_ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," + KEY_NAME + " TEXT," + ")"; db.execSQL(createTable); } @Override public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + TABLE_Name); // Create tables again onCreate(db); } public boolean insertname(Information information) { boolean createSuccessful = false; ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); // values.put(KEY_ID, information.getId()); values.put(KEY_NAME, information.getName()); SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase(); createSuccessful = db.insert(TABLE_Name, null, values) > 0; db.close(); return createSuccessful; } } 

Main File

 package com.example.database_example; import android.os.Bundle; import android.app.Activity; import android.view.Menu; public class MainActivity extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); Information inf=new Information("naveen"); DataBaseExample dbx=new DataBaseExample(MainActivity.this); dbx.insertname(inf); }

Answer 1

Your sqlite insertion method for Android might look like this:

 public boolean create(Information information) { boolean createSuccessful = false; ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); values.put(KEY_NAME, information.getName()); SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase(); createSuccessful = db.insert(tableName, null, values) > 0; db.close(); return createSuccessful; } 

It can be added to your DataBaseExample class.

You can use it in this way in your activity or anywhere.

 Information information = new Information(); information.setName("naveen"); if(new DataBaseExample().create(information)){ Log.v(TAG, "save ok."); }else{ Log.v(TAG, "save failed."); } 

See here for simpler examples.

Answer 2

 SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase(); ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); values.put("Messsage", msg); values.put("Name", SenderName); values.put("GroupName", Groupname); db.insert("TableName", null, values); 

See here http://androiddhina.blogspot.in/2015/04/insert-value-in-database-using-sqlite.html for more details.

Answer 3

The first error is related to the extra comma entered inside the createTable line after the last definition of the column KEY_NAME+" TEXT,"

 String createTable= "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_Name+"(" + KEY_ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," + KEY_NAME + " TEXT," + ")"; 

The correct form is as follows:

 String createTable= "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_Name+"(" + KEY_ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," + KEY_NAME + " TEXT" + ")";

Answer 5

Use the code below -

 mSQLiteDatabase = getWritableDatabase(); //To insert we need to writable //database. If database is not created/opened it will do the job. ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues(); contentValues.put(key1,value1); contentValues.put(key2,value2); contentValues.put(key3,value3); //...put the value for all the required colums of a row..... long rowInserted = mSQLiteDatabase.insert(tablename,"",contentValues); mSQLiteDatabase.close();//This is very important to close.Never forget this. if(rowInserted != -1) { //Insert success. } else { //Inser failed. }
