Android :: SQLite - Inserting String With New Lines Into Database From Csv File
Sep 9, 2010
I am trying to inject a long text entry into a SQLite database, in a TEXT field. This text has new lines in it (i.e. it spans multiple paragraphs). I can get the new lines to show up if I do the INSERT manually:
INSERT INTO "LOGENTRY" VALUES(5,40,'PLACE','line1
line2
line4
',1283990533315,'4A','TEXT','',NULL);
but if I have the equivalent text in a CSV file and attempt to .import it into the table, I get an error that it's expecting more columns than exist (as soon as the new line is encountered, the program assumes it's the end of the input and thus it's missing columns). Is this possible? Or is the only way to manually do each INSERT?

I am an android application developer. I am developing an application which requires of me to use Sqlite database. I have implemented fetching the data, but i am facing problems when i try to insert data into the Sqlite database. The problem that i am having is that the new data i enter is not fetched, i.e nothing is new is being entered into the database.
this is the method i wrote in Data.java
myDataBase is an object of SQLiteDatabase
public void insertTitle(String Recipe)
ContentValues initialValues = new ContentValues();
initialValues.put(COLUMN_NAME,value);
myDataBase.insert(ZRECIPE, null, initialValues);
}
and i create an object "d" of it in Add.java, where i call the "insertTitle()" method. But nothing is inserted.

I'm working on a android application that will display Strings to the user, and the user then has the option to add one to a favorite list. I have searched and searched and cannot find the proper way of doing this. I did get one open source project, everything worked until the user removed a favorite. The database would clear the row of data, but when a new row is added, it would behave as if the deleted row still had data, leaving blanks in the favorite list.
This is my insert method
public long insertString(String newString)
ContentValues newStringValue = new ContentValues();
newStringValue.put(KEY_STRING, newString);
return db.insert(DATABASE_TABLE, null, newStringValue);
The long returned will always increment even if i use the remove method:
public boolean removeString(long _rowIndex)
return db.delete(DATABASE_TABLE, KEY_ID + "=" + _rowIndex, null) > 0;
If I try to remove the third index, and the user removed a question at the third index, the method returns false, is there a way to completely remove all rows with no data?

Is it possible to choose a custom location for the sqlite database file? If possible I want to store the database file in the memory card. And if user switches from one memory card to the other I want my application to use whatever version of the database file available on the card.

When I use the following command: adb pull /data/data/com.mydomain.myappname/databases/MyDatabase.db / home/me the following error results. failed to copy '/data/data/com.mydomain.myappname/databases/ MyDatabase.db' to '/home/me/MyDatabase.db': Permission denied I have no problems with the emulator. I am using a Dev Phone 2.

Is there something like a FileDialog available? From previous threads, it appears there isn't one.
If not, has someone written one?
I want to allow a user to
a) Specify a folder/filename on storage for creating an SQLite database.
b) Specify an existing file/folder on storage card for opening as an SQLite Database.

Please direct me to a description of the techniques that the ContentProvider employs to access data. I am trying to understand how it works as well as what is tunable or even if its meant to be tunable. It the memory management tiered, cached, virtual, flat? Is it file based, shmem based, stream based? Can there be a combination thereof?
Any information, suggestions, or references are welcome. The android fundamentals page says: "The data can be stored in the file system, in an SQLite database, or in any other manner that makes sense;" but the android ContenProvider page barely skins the onion.

Ive developed a DB for use with my app but I've realised that I actually want extend my db to incorporate images! I will be hosting the db online but for now I am using it locally for development purposes. To create my db I have been using SQLiteBrowser, which I think is a standalone version of the Firefox SQLiteManager plugin, however I cant see a way to insert an image. I recognise that an image will have to be transfered into a byte array and stored as a blob, but rather that developing this element of the db programatically, I was wondering if the was a gui tool to help me skip this developmental element.

How do I use an SQL statement on an sqllite database to insert the current date in UTC. I found the NOW function but what format is that in? This will be on mobile devices so everyone will have a different locale, however, I need a standard time format because the device will compare the dates with my server. Also, is there a way to automatically update a 'modified' field when the data in the row is changed like you can in MySQL?

I need to insert approximately one million rows of data (spread over 4 tables) - each row has one or two numeric fields, and two or three text fields (normally quite short). Single-column indexes on all the fields. After doing some tests on the emulator with a small test set, I extrapolated (assuming the last row will be inserted with a similar speed to the first row) my results to figure out that this would take about 15 hours (I have a Core 2 Duo running Vista). However, then I tried running the small test set on my Hero and I was surprised to see it run more than four times faster. I would guess it would take about 3 hours on the Hero. Alternatively, I could make the pre-populated database available as a download on the first run but this is likely to be a 120MB download. I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can help me with: 1. SQLite performance on the actual device being 4-5 times faster compared to the emulator - is this normal/expected? 2. Do the figures above generally sound fast/slow/normal (sorry this is so vague)? 3. From a user perspective - would it be best to provide a 120MB download or a 3 hour "first-time initialisation" step (plus 6MB download)?

Looks to me like every time you run your app, you insert two more rows in to the database, so the first it will have 2 rows, then 4, 6, 8, etc. On Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 1:12 PM, saptarshi chatterjee <

I have the localized strings file that is used in the Iphone app that I work on to port to Android. Are there any tools that go through the file taken from the xcode project and build the xml needed to use the strings in android? This tool should be easy to build but I appreciate any pointers to already working tools.

I've just started working with SQL and Android and from what I can see, updates and inserts back to the database need to be handled individually?
I can retrieve a Cursor containing multiple records, but if I wanted to apply an update to each record in the cursor, I can only see how to do this individually, using ContentValues and Update(), and then the cursor requires reloading??
Same with if I wish to create multiple new records, these appear to be required to be inserted individually? Can I not create a List and bulk insert?
To me this seems slow and cumbersome, and there has to be something I'm not yet aware of (searching for answers is failing me... likely due to using incorrect terms being new to android/java)
Here's a very simple example of what I basically what I want to achieve, however there must be a better way to achieve this functionality. (I know there are some other bad practises in here, just creating a quick eample)

I'm currently developing a Field-Service application that stores data in the local sqlite database on an android device. At some point, usually after completing the data collection rounds, the local sqlite db is to be synchronized to a remote sybase db on the server.Any suggestions as to how this could be achieved or engineered as a solution? Or even better, are there alternatives to synchronizing data in such an application?

I have a query that pulls everything from a database into a list view.
code:..........
I want only the records where the field KEY_HOMEID matches a variable called journalId which should be a numeric string.
I would also like to know how to bring the variable into my DatabaseAdapter... would ((resource)this.getApplication()).getjournalId()) work? resource is a class that extends application.

I'm new to Android, I just finished the Notepad Tutorials, where we can create SQLite Databases to save notes. So I wanted to know if it was possible to "import" my own SQLite database (not created with my App but with a 3rd-party software) to my project, and if the answer is yes, where should I save my SQLite databse and how can I have access to it.

I'm doing a application that will use a database with serialized object. The objects will be already serialized and the user will just display things. On a PC I would just make an XML but with android I'm not sure. Can I make an XML and "unpack" it when the user launch the application for the first time or should I do something else?

I put my database field in "assets" folder. And use the code from this blog to copy the database to "/data/data/my_packname/databases/", (This copy code i run it in the onCreate() method when i run this app) then use select * from ... to get data. But it gives me the exception: no such table. Someone told me that if i am attempting to copy the file in SQLiteOpenHelper's onCreate(), it's too late. So the copy file code can not copy the complete file. So i need to use adb or ddms to pull the database first? So, Anyone can teach me how to use my own databse?
