Question

When the first time i am running the app, i want to create a table and enter some rows into the table. For doing this, i wrote this bit of code and it is working fine:

            //Creating the table
        db.execSQL(MRM_BOOKING_LOGIN_TABLE_CREATE);         
        //Setting the values in the table
        ContentValues contentValuesLogin = new ContentValues();
        contentValuesLogin.put(USER_ID, "asdf");
        contentValuesLogin.put(PASSWORD, "1234");
        //Inserting a row in the table
        db.insert(MRM_BOOKING_LOGIN_TABLE, null, contentValuesLogin);

But i want to enter at least 15 to 20 rows in the table. Is it a good idea that every time after inserting one row, i will clear the ContentValues object (or create another object of ContentValues) and enter another row in the newly created table? In this way, the lines of code will increase a lot as well. I am sure there might be some other better alternative way to do the same. Please suggest

You can insert multiple rows using ContentResolver.bulkInsert (Uri url, ContentValues[] values).

Hope this will help you.
