Question

My app has two buttons, the first button is for deleting record on user input and the second button is for deleting all records. But when I want to delete data it shows the message
“Your application has been forcefully stopped”.

Please check my code and give me some suggestion.

public void deleteAll()
{
    //SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
   // db.delete(TABLE_NAME,null,null);
    //db.execSQL("delete * from"+ TABLE_NAME);
    db.execSQL("TRUNCATE table" + TABLE_NAME);
    db.close();
}

and

public void delete(String id)
{
    String[] args={id};
    getWritableDatabase().delete("texts", "_ID=?", args);
}

But it shows the following Log cat error.

Answer 1

You missed a space: db.execSQL("delete * from " + TABLE_NAME);

Also there is no need to even include *, the correct query is:

db.execSQL("delete from "+ TABLE_NAME);
