Question

How can i run a sql statement on a sqlite database (in android) and get the result of the query? I need to know for sure if the query was executed or not.

I came up with :

db.execSQL(sql);

but this is a void function.

I get the query_string from a database so i don’t know is is a insert or update or delete statement. I know for sure that it will not be a select statement.

Try something like this:

public String insertQuery(String sql) {
           try{
       db.execSQL(sql);
           }
           catch (SQLException ex){
               return ex.toString();
           }
           return null;
   }
