Question

I am developing an android application where i need to enter multiple rows in database at a one go,
i have 18 rows and 4 columns in my user interface which are edit texts , is it possible to enter all data i data base with one button click , how can i do that ?
Here is my code to generate one row

public void addRow(String rowStringOne, String rowStringTwo)
{
// this is a key value pair holder used by android's SQLite functions
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(TABLE_ROW_ONE, rowStringOne);
values.put(TABLE_ROW_TWO, rowStringTwo);

// ask the database object to insert the new data
try{db.insert(TABLE_NAME, null, values);}
catch(Exception e)
{
Log.e("DB ERROR", e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

It depends from where you get the data. You have two possible scenarios.

1. You have to insert records from other sql table – You can use single sql query that will fetch and insert the records. For more details read this post
2. You have to insert records already loaded in memory – You can to implement some king of bulk insert. For more details how to use transactions and do bulk insert read this post
