Question

I have one App working with the dataabase in which the organisation column having the records with the special characters(single quote). I am getting force close error while searching with the special character in the text field.

The code is below:

    String name = idValues.getStringExtra("ORGNAME");
   String sql ="select orgname from table1 where name like '%"+ name +"%'  Order by org.name";

Please help me with the samplecode/links to search with the name containing special character.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

String name = idValues.getStringExtra("ORGNAME");    

if (name.contains("'")) {
   // Should replace all the charecters
   name = name.replaceAll("'", "''");
}

String sql ="select orgname from table1 where name like '%"+ name +"%'  Order by org.name"; 

Replace the single quote(‘) in the String as shown. Please try this.
