Question

Im very sorry for asking for this simple doubt.Im just started to android and now studying the database sections in android.

I created a database with name “books” and with table name “titles”.

Then i drag and drop the database into the assets section in project.

Now i want to fetch a value from the database(any value from the five columns) and display in the text view.Can anyone please help me how to do this.

Below is the code i used to read the database.

import android.content.ContentValues;
import android.content.Context;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.database.SQLException;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;
import android.util.Log;
public class DBAdapter {
    public static final String KEY_ROWID = "_id";
    public static final String KEY_ISBN = "isbn";
    public static final String KEY_TITLE = "title";
    public static final String KEY_PUBLISHER = "publisher";
    private static final String TAG = "DBAdapter";
    private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "books";
    private static final String DATABASE_TABLE = "titles";
    private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;
    private static final String DATABASE_CREATE =
    "create table titles (_id integer primary key autoincrement, "
    + "isbn text not null, title text not null, "
    + "publisher text not null);";
    private final Context context;
    private DatabaseHelper DBHelper;
    private SQLiteDatabase db;
    public DBAdapter(Context ctx)
    {
    this.context = ctx;
    DBHelper = new DatabaseHelper(context);
    }
    private static class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper
    {
    DatabaseHelper(Context context)
    {
    super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
    }
    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db)
    {
    db.execSQL(DATABASE_CREATE);
    }
    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion,
    int newVersion)
    {
    Log.w(TAG, "Upgrading database from version " + oldVersion
    + " to "
    + newVersion + ", which will destroy all old data");
    db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS titles");
    onCreate(db);
    }
    }
    //---opens the database---
    public DBAdapter open() throws SQLException
    {
    db = DBHelper.getWritableDatabase();
    return this;
    }
    //---closes the database---
    public void close()
    {
    DBHelper.close();
    }
    //---insert a title into the database---
    public long insertTitle(String isbn, String title, String publisher)
    {
    ContentValues initialValues = new ContentValues();
    initialValues.put(KEY_ISBN, isbn);
    initialValues.put(KEY_TITLE, title);
    initialValues.put(KEY_PUBLISHER, publisher);
    return db.insert(DATABASE_TABLE, null, initialValues);
    }
    //---deletes a particular title---
    public boolean deleteTitle(long rowId)
    {
    return db.delete(DATABASE_TABLE, KEY_ROWID +
    "=" + rowId, null) > 0;
    }
    //---retrieves all the titles---
    public Cursor getAllTitles()
    {
    return db.query(DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {
    KEY_ROWID,
    KEY_ISBN,
    KEY_TITLE,
    KEY_PUBLISHER},
    null,
    null,
    null,
    null,
    null);
    }
    //---retrieves a particular title---
    public Cursor getTitle(long rowId) throws SQLException
    {
    Cursor mCursor =
    db.query(true, DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {
    KEY_ROWID,
    KEY_ISBN,
    KEY_TITLE,
    KEY_PUBLISHER
    },
    KEY_ROWID + "=" + rowId,
    null,
    null,
    null,
    null,
    null);
    if (mCursor != null) {
    mCursor.moveToFirst();
    }
    return mCursor;
    }

    //---updates a title---
    public boolean updateTitle(long rowId, String isbn,
    String title, String publisher)
    {
    ContentValues args = new ContentValues();
    args.put(KEY_ISBN, isbn);
    args.put(KEY_TITLE, title);
    args.put(KEY_PUBLISHER, publisher);
    return db.update(DATABASE_TABLE, args,
    KEY_ROWID + "=" + rowId, null) > 0;
    }
    }

DatabaseActivity.java

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class DatabaseActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }

}

Hoping for your help.Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Create class and extends it with contentProvider and use it like this

public class XyzDB extends ContentProvider {

    static Context context;
    private SQLiteOpenHelper mOpenHelper;

    public XyzDB() {}


    public XyzDB(Context context) 
    {

        XyzDB.context = context;
        mOpenHelper = new DatabaseHelper(context);
        mOpenHelper.getWritableDatabase();
    }

and also create a class within XyzDB like this

private static class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper
    {
//create table here

}

and then put following method

You have to fetch data from cursor in database helper class. You have to create method like this and return cursor value.

public Cursor fetchData()
    {
        SQLiteDatabase mDB = mOpenHelper.getWritableDatabase();

        Cursor mCursor;
        mCursor = mDB.rawQuery("Select * from table, null);

        return mCursor;
    } 

and create Database helper class object in your activity and call this method and fetch data from cursor like this

Cursor c = jDB.fetchDataByID(id); 
        if(c.moveToFirst())
        {
            do
            {
                id = c.getInt(0);

            }while(c.moveToNext());
        }
        c.close();

and set id or any value in text view.
