Question

I m trying to delete a record from a SQLiteDB via Android Application,This is the way that i used the code to delete the record

//Snippet of code in my DBAdapter Class

public boolean DeleteRecord(String ContactName) {

    Log.i(TAG, "DeleteRecord(String ContactName)");
    Log.i(TAG, ContactName);
    return db.delete(TABLE_SIMPLETABLE_CLIENT1,KEY_EMPLOYEE_NAME + "="
             +ContactName,null);
    }

and from the another class, i trying to call this method by opening the DB and calling this method and again closing the DB, this is how i have coded,

//Snippet of code in my DBApplication Class

public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
    int which) {
DBAdapter.open();
DBAdapter.DeleteRecord(DeleteRecord);  
//DeletRecord is string value that in DB(Sivaram)                       
DBAdapter.close();
}

When i deploy it , i an getting the following error,

08-25 14:52:20.602: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(231): android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: no such column: Sivaram: , while compiling: DELETE FROM SimpleTable1 WHERE Employee_Name=Sivaram

please help me, in finding out the solution

Thanks in advance…

Edit-

Try this and chk if it works first

return db.delete(TABLE_SIMPLETABLE_CLIENT1,KEY_EMPLOYEE_NAME + "='"+ContactName+"'",null);

here your string should be in your where clause(3rd position) and you just require to mention your table name as your second parameter i believe

delete(String tableName, String whereClause, String[] whereArgs) {}
return db.delete(TABLE_SIMPLETABLE_CLIENT1,KEY_EMPLOYEE_NAME,new String[]{ContactName});
