Question

i have this selection query to fetch rows from the sqlite database of android phone contacts.

String selection = ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + " = '" + ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "'"
           + " AND "+ContactsContract.Data.DATA10+ " = '" + select + "'";

Log.d(LOG_TAG,"selection in update data"+selection);

c = mContext.getContentResolver().query(CONTENT_URI, Projection,selection, null, null);

where select = [phone]

I am successfully able to fetch the reqd data. However my requirement is if i have more than one string. i.e an array of strings.how do i write the query?

I was tring with

String selection = ContactsContract.Data.DATA10 IN ("+select+")";

where select = [phone],[phone],[phone]

however i am not getting any values.please help me write the selection query.

Answer 1

Try to use IN(” + select + “)

with select = “‘[phone]′,’[phone]’,’[phone]′”
