Question

I am working with phonegap+sqlite.

I am trying to insert something.

Here is the code-

function insertDB() {
        var sqlI = "INSERT INTO post_data(post_text,pdate) VALUES("Hello, world","23-05-2012");
        mydb.transaction(
                             function(transaction) {
                             transaction.executeSql(sqlI, [], nullDataHandler, errorHandler); 
                             });
        console.log("inserted");
        window.location="dashboard.html";
}

I am able to insert data when I remove the line window.location="dashboard.html" or when i set a delay of 1000ms, and then execute window.location="dashboard.html". But the above code does not work. Why?

Answer 1

I think that the transaction function is asynchronous.
Try and put the redirection just above :

mydb.transaction(
    function(transaction) {
        transaction.executeSql(
            sqlI, 
            [],  
            function(transaction, results){
                // passing transaction and results in case you have to display some returned statements
                window.location="dashboard.html";
            },
            nullDataHandler
        ); 
});

As you can see, the redirection would be handled in the resultHandler.
