SQLite in Android How to update a specific row

Question

First make a ContentValues object :

ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
cv.put("Field1","Bob"); //These Fields should be your String values of actual column names
cv.put("Field2","19");
cv.put("Field2","Male");

Then use the update method, it should work now:

myDB.update(TableName, cv, "_id = ?", new String[]{id});

Simple way:

String strSQL = "UPDATE myTable SET Column1 = someValue WHERE columnId = "+ someValue;

myDataBase.execSQL(strSQL);

At first create a ContentValues object :

ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
cv.put("Field1","Bob");
cv.put("Field2","19");

Then use the update method. Note, the third argument is the where clause. The "?" is a placeholder. It will be replaced with the fourth argument (id)

myDB.update(MY_TABLE_NAME, cv, "_id = ?", new String[]{id});

This is the cleanest solution to update a specific row.

1. I personally prefere .update for its convenience. But execsql will work same.
2. You are right with your guess that the problem is your content values. You should create a ContentValue Object and put the values for your database row there.

This code should fix your example:

 ContentValues data=new ContentValues();
 data.put("Field1","bob");
 data.put("Field2",19);
 data.put("Field3","male");
 DB.update(Tablename, data, "_id=" + id, null);

you can try this...

db.execSQL("UPDATE DB_TABLE SET YOUR_COLUMN='newValue' WHERE id=6 ");

hope this'll help you:

public boolean updatedetails(long rowId, String address)
  {
     SQLiteDatabase mDb= this.getWritableDatabase();
   ContentValues args = new ContentValues();
   args.put(KEY_ROWID, rowId);          
   args.put(KEY_ADDRESS, address);
  return mDb.update(DATABASE_TABLE, args, KEY_ROWID + "=" + rowId, null)>0;   
 }

You try this one update method in SQLite

int id;
ContentValues con = new ContentValues();
con.put(TITLE, title);
con.put(AREA, area);
con.put(DESCR, desc);
con.put(TAG, tag);
myDataBase.update(TABLE, con, KEY_ID + "=" + id,null);
