Android :: SQLite - Can't Prevent Duplicating Entries
Jul 9, 2009
I would like to create a table to store device settings. The table has three rows: id, parameter_name and parameter_value. The table was created by executing the following query statement: DATABASE_CREATE = "create table DATABASE_TABLE (KEY_ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, KEY_NAME INTEGER not null, VALUE TEXT not null); and then the rows are stored by executing the following method:
private long insertRow(int rowParameter, String rowValue, SQLiteDatabase db){
long res = -1;
ContentValues settingsParameterValues = new ContentValues();
settingsParameterValues.put(KEY_NAME, rowParameter);
settingsParameterValues.put(VALUE, rowValue);...................
The problem with method insertRow() however is that it can't prevent duplicating the entries. Does anyone know how to prevent duplicate entries in this case?

In my game I am handling the loss of a character (represented programmatically with their own table) - however there are 4 such tables. I would like to know if there is a simple way to simply tell SQLite to make character 2's entire table equal character 3's? Just trying to not leave a gap in the lineup.
I was considering pulling all the data, sorting it out, putting it into the table and then deleting - I just wanted to know if there was a nifty shortcut to tell SQLite that I wanted to duplicate an entire table at another preexisting table?

For my application, I am trying to add entries without having a duplicate entry, and if there are a duplicate notify the user and have him try again. Using SQLite, which I know very very little about, I have tried these two ways and want to know which one is better, more efficient or a better way to develop it? First way:
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO " + DatabaseHelper.DATABASE_TABLE +
"(LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, RATING) SELECT " + latitude + ", " + longitude + ", " + rating +
" WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM " + DatabaseHelper.DATABASE_TABLE +
" WHERE LATITUDE = " + latitude + " AND LONGITUDE = " + longitude + ")");
Second way:
long id = -1;
try { id = db.compileStatement(
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM " + DatabaseHelper.DATABASE_TABLE
+ " WHERE LATITUDE = " + latitude
+ " AND LONGITUDE = " + longitude)
.simpleQueryForLong();
} catch (NullPointerException e) { return -1;
} return id;
The first way, either inserts or ignores the values, I check by doing so, storing the row-count of the rows into a variable before the call, call that function, and then check its results. If the results is not higher than it was before the call, the insert was made ignored, prompt the user with the 'values exist' message. (Very sloppy, I know but desperate times calls for desperate measures). The second way, returns the actual count of rows that match the numbers I want to store, if the number returned greater than 1, prompt the user with the 'values exist' message. I have been going back and forth, trying different ways but I do not know how to set up SQLite to have UNIQUE pairs, which I was told would be the easiest.

I use a sqlite database in my project. The stored data in it must not be available for the user to edit. As I've read here I saw that if you have root access you can alter sqlite database. The only solution would be to encrypt database content, but this would be time consuming for device. Any solution to prevent access to database ?

I have been using Google voice for a few months now and have been loving it until last night.I mainly use it for txt messages and last night I received one immediate followed by a txt message from the same person/ content as an actual txt message.I have continued to receive duplicate messages from this person (only one that has txt'd me) and I need it to stop! I don't have an unlimited txt plan (and don't want one) not to mention the redundancy of the messages coming to Google voice and my txt folders.Can anyone PLEASE help me? I don't know if this is a result of updating to 2.2 two days ago or not.

I think this has to be a problem with the SD card and scanning it, but for some reason after syncing my phone, plugging it into the computer to charge, or even plugging it in to charge in the car, my music playlists seem to be duplicating all the time. I have loaded my playlists using Doubletwist (Slower than hell freezing over), I have tried Doubletwist, Mixzing, Cube, and Zimly and all have shown some or all of the duplicates. I have had it with Mixzing because of this, but the others seem to be doing it as well, just not as much. I have actually had up to 6 copies of the same playlist at one time. There is still only 1 music playlist that has songs in it, but there are 2, 3, or up to 6 copies for some reason. Another strange thing is the original actual playlist has each word starting with Capitals, but the copies are are small case. I've looked all over my SD card to see if I can find where these "phantom" playlists are stored, but I haven't found anything yet.
Also, after that stupid Froyo update, my phone won't allow me to play anything from the SD card when it is plugged in. Yes, I have tried changing the setting from Charge only to all of the other 3 options at one time or another, but in my car, it refuses to allow access to the SD card when plugged in regardless of what I do or what setting I have changed. Not impressed with the Froyo update AT ALL! This morning my SD card decided to lose all of my videos that were on it (5 GB worth) and about 1/3 of my music. I have no idea where they went, but they are gone. This phone was awesome in most every way until that stupid update, I wish I could go back to 2.1! My Pandora sucks now, my Multi-touch keyboard won't work anymore, I lost a whole bunch of files off my SD card as mentioned above, and I haven't noticed a single benefit other than my camera opens quicker now.

When I long press the search key, I get a list of apps to choose from. Is there a way to remove some of the entries from this list? I know I can assign one as a default, but I don't want to do that. I want to leave a couple of the options, but I don't need Handcent and Dialer One to show up there.

Two Android phones in the house, me and my son. In my Gmail calendar online, I can see my and his calendars and can add entries to either. Is there any way to view his calendar on my phone in the built-in calendar app? Is there a way to add entries to his calendar, or to invite him to appointments I create in my calendar?

There are occasions where I create a new entry in my calendar on the phone and I end up with 2 entries for the same date and time. This is something I cannot seem to replicate intentionally. How can I set the refresh interval for syncing my phone with Google online? I know I can go through settings, google and press menu > sync now, but how can I decide how often the phone does this automatically?

What is up with multiple "categories" in the phone book. By categories I mean:
Google
Exchange
Phone
etc
I have double and triple contacts in my phone now. I've knocked out Google altogether as I never used it before my Droid (HTC Eris). I sync with my personal laptop and it is running Outlook. I also setup an exchange point for my work info and I get all of the *SAME* contacts with that. Is there anyway to delete the contacts off the phone without losing them in my exchange connection? Also, when I add a contact via the phone, I cannot figure out how to get it to sync into exchange.The current sync map I want to move to is:Exchange (work) --> Plaxo.com
Outlook (personal machine) --> Plaxo.com
Eris Droid --> Exchange only That is, if I can figure out how to sync manual entries on my phone to exchange!

The calendar widget is frustrating me. I enter details about an upcoming meeting, hit save and the event appears. About 20 seconds later it disappears without me doing anything. I figured I would try to delete the app and reinstall it but when I go to settings/app/manage app and try to delete it, the "delete" function is grayed out. Any suggestions?

I think I've seen somewhere that it's still not possible to read Google Calendar entries? I tried to search the forum, but didn't find any relevant threads. They mostly contain questions on java.util.Calendar.
Can I read entries? I understand that it might be fragile if it still isn't in the public API, but I don't mind updating my code when the API becomes public. (I don't need to modify or create new entries).

In one activity I build a cursor which is used to populate a ListView. I want a secondary activity to be able to step through the cursor entries. What's the best way to do this (bearing in mind cursor lifecycle). I don't care if the the system kills and restarts the secondary activity since in that case the stepping through entries functionality could be temporarily automatically disabled.

I'm trying to see how extra information can be attached to contacts entries. Looking at the SDK reference, I stumble upon the Contacts.Extensions (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Contacts.Extens ions.html) and Contacts.People.Extensions (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Contacts.People .Extensions.html) classes. Sadly I can't find any article about what theses classes are for and how to use them. My goal is to add a few extra fields to the contacts entries which do not fit in any of the current available field types (emails, im accounts, phone numbers, postal addresses). Is there a way to achieve this?

In my gmail account in my browser (desktop computer), I go to contacts and I see one entry for myself. It has all the info I want in it (I just added my address).When I go to my droid and find myself in the contact list, I see several sections that begin with "from blah@gmail.com" where it's my email address.Why isn't it only one big section instead of looking like it found my contact info multiple times in my gmail account requiring multiple sub-sections? How come I don't see my address in any of these sub-sections?

THE PROBLEM: was going through my phonebook and for a few contacts, i would have A LOT of duplicates. By a lot I mean nearly 100 if not more of 1 person, but the contact would be something about facebook related. this was for about 15-20 people that had 100+ entries.HOW I FIXED THIS:people > Menu > View Check or uncheck any of the want or dont want. after you're done, click done and check you're phonebook again to see if it worked

HTC Desire When I tap the 'To' box or the person icon there are multiple entries for each contact. The second person in my contact list appears at least 100 times, others are in there 6, 8 10+ times.Orange Help sent me a text. I deleted it. Took battery out etc. And guess what? No help at all. In the People folder the entries are there in their singular form. Anyone any ideas for resolving this? BTW - the contact only receives one message!!

I got my contact numbers transferred from my blackberry into my evo. About a week ago I got the low memory space message on my phone. I looked on applications, and it says my contact storage is 313mb!! I counted my contacts and I have about 100. I think 313mb for contact storage is insane. Other people with about the same contacts have about 8 or 9mb of storage used. Was something done wrong when they transferred the contacts?
