Question

I am trying to translate some of the code of Objective C in Java…

[_db beginTransaction];

    Date now = [[NSDate alloc] init];
    boolean result = [_db executeUpdate:updateQuery, [self stringToDB:account.userId],
                   [self integerToDB:account.accountId],
                   [self integerToDB:account.accountType],
                   [self stringToDB:account.accountName],
                ];

    [_db commit];
    return true;

Can anyone tell me how can i implement BeginTransaction and Commit in Java?

Since you tagged this ‘Android’, the Android SDK has a SQLiteDatabase class that’s typically wrapped by a helper class (if you follow the guides/tuts/etc. out there).

SQLiteDatabase has beginTransaction() and endTransaction() that let you run… erm, database transactions. endTransaction() is sort of like a commit but with caveats. Refer to the documentation for more info.
