Sugar ORM in Android: update a saved object in SQLite

Question

I'm new to app development using SQLite and Sugar ORM on Android, and have tried to read through the Sugar ORM documentation, but didn't find anything for how to update a saved object in SQLite. Can I still save the object after changing its properties? something like:

Customer myCustomer = (Customer.find(Customer.class, "id = ?", id)).get(0);
myCustomer.setName("new name");
myCustomer.setAddress("new Address");
myCustomer.save(); // is this okay for updating the object?

the save() method won't create another new object while leaving the old entry untouched, right?

Answer 1

Your code should update the row without issue.

From the docs - Update Entity:

Book book = Book.findById(Book.class, 1);
book.title = "updated title here"; // modify the values
book.edition = "3rd edition";
book.save(); // updates the previous entry with new values.

Answer 2

It will update your entity. The Sugar ORM overwriting your existing e.g Name and updated it with "new name" after the save() method call.
