Question

I’m now getting problem about how to convert capitalize word to lowercase in SQLite for Android.

public Cursor fetchFunctions(String searchword) throws SQLException {
    Cursor mCursor =
        mDb.query(true, FUNCTIONS_TABLE, new String[] {
                FUNS_WORD, FUNS_BODY}, FUNS_WORD + "='" + searchword + "'", null,
                null, null, null, null);
    if (mCursor != null) {
        mCursor.moveToFirst();
    }
    return mCursor;
}

I want to conver like LOWER(FUNS_WORD) + “='” + searchword + “‘” unfortunately, getting syntax error. What I want is I want to convert all of data in FUNS_WORD to lowercase type.

You’ll have to use rawQuery

public Cursor fetchFunctions(String searchword) throws SQLException {
    Cursor mCursor =
        mDb.rawQuery("SELECT FUNS_WORD, FUNS_BODY FROM FUNCTIONS_TABLE WHERE LOWER(FUNS_WORD) = '" + searchword + "'", null);
    if (mCursor != null) {
        mCursor.moveToFirst();
    }
    return mCursor;
}
