Question

Let’s say my database shows some games with the attributes
_id | name | player1 | player2 | wins1 | wins2

Now I want to implement a method that increments wins1 or wins2 (due to paramater). But I can’t figure out how to edit a single value without reentering all other values too. How can I do this?

You need to write a sql update query.

Example:

ContentValues args = new ContentValues();
args.put(yourColumnName, newValue);
db.update(DATABASE_TABLE, args, KEY_ROWID + "=" + rowID, null);
