SQLiteConstraintException dont go inside catch

Question

When I run that code I have inside the db.insert an exception:

08-29 15:40:17.519: E/SQLiteDatabase(3599): android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConstraintException: column date is not unique (code 19)

Which is normal, because I already have that value as a key. So in that case I do a catch of SQLiteConstraintException but I never get inside the catch when I run the code.

What am I doing wrong?

           try {
                db.insert(TABLE_STATISTICS, null, values);
            } catch (SQLiteConstraintException e) {
                Log.d("entered", "entered the exception");
                ContentValues valuesUp = new ContentValues();
                valuesUp.put((isMT ? KEY_MT : KEY_MO), change); 
                db.update(TABLE_STATISTICS, valuesUp, KEY_DATE + "=?",
                        new String[] { message_date });
            }

Thank you.

the whole log:

Answer 1

Use db.insertOrThrow() instead.
