Question

]i have this graph that shows the last 7 records from my sqlite database, it works.

but i will like to know the absolute last 7 days.

this is my codes

if ([appDelegate.drinksOnDayArray count] >=7)
    {
        drunked = 7;
    }
    else {
        drunked = [appDelegate.drinksOnDayArray count];
    }


    if (drunked !=0) 
    {   
        if (drunked<7) {
        for (int i=drunked; i<7; i++) {

            //DayOfDrinks *drinksOnDay = [appDelegate.drinksOnDayArray objectAtIndex:i-1];

            NSString * dayString= [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Nil"];//[NSDate stringForDisplayFromDateForChart:drinksOnDay.dateConsumed];

            [dayArray addObject:dayString];//X label for graph the day of drink.

            }
        }

        for(int i=drunked; i>0; i--) 
        {
            DayOfDrinks *drinksOnDay = [appDelegate.drinksOnDayArray objectAtIndex:i-1];

            NSString * dayString= [NSDate stringForDisplayFromDateForChart:drinksOnDay.dateConsumed];

            [dayArray addObject:dayString];//X label for graph the day of drink.

            drinksOnDay.isDetailViewHydrated = NO;

            [drinksOnDay hydrateDetailViewData];

            NSNumber *sdNumber =  drinksOnDay.standardDrinks; // pass value over to Standard Drink Numbers

            //[sdArray addObject: sdNumber]; 

            float floatNum = [sdNumber floatValue]; // convert sdNumber to foat

            [sdArray addObject:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:floatNum]];//add float Value to sdArray
    }




    //Get max value using KVC


    fMax = [[sdArray valueForKeyPath:@"@max.floatValue"] floatValue];


    //Ceiling the max value
    imax = (int)ceilf(fMax);

    //Odd check to make even by checking right most bit
    imax = (imax & 0x1) ? imax + 1 : imax;

    NSMutableArray *array = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:(imax / 2) + 1];

    //Assuming all numbers are positive 

    for(int i = 0; i <= imax; i +=2)
    {
        [array addObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", i]];
    }

    NSLog(@"Array Value %@", array);

    NSLog(@"Day Array%@", dayArray);



    NSString *sData[drunked];// = malloc(7 * sizeof(NSString *));
    for (int i=0; i<drunked; i++) 
    {
        DayOfDrinks *drinksOnDay = [appDelegate.drinksOnDayArray objectAtIndex:i];
        sData[i] = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",drinksOnDay.standardDrinks];

    }
    NSLog(@"sdArray %@",sdArray);
    if (drunked<7) {
        for (int i=drunked; i<7; i++) {
            sData[i]=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"0"];
        }
    }

my sqlite statement

Answer 1

Without going through those blocks of code, I’ll hazard a guess here:

SELECT * FROM CONSUMED WHERE DATE BETWEEN ? AND ?

Set up a date 7 days ago (7*24*60*60*1000 milliseconds ago), as well as now, and bind those to the question marks.
