[Solved]-SQLite in Android How to update a specific row-eclipse

public long fillDataTempo(String table){
    String[] table = new String[1];
    tabela[0] = table; 
    ContentValues args = new ContentValues();
    args.put(DBOpenHelper.DATA_HORA, new Date().toString());
    args.put(DBOpenHelper.NOME_TABELA, nome_tabela);
    return db.update(DATABASE_TABLE, args, STRING + " LIKE ?" ,tabela);
}

just give rowId and type of data that is going to be update in ContentValues.

public void updateStatus(String id , int status){

SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();

ContentValues data = new ContentValues();

data.put("status", status);

db.update(TableName, data, "columnName" + " = "+id , null);

}

just try this way

  String strFilter = "_id=" + Id;
  ContentValues args = new ContentValues();
  args.put(KEY_TITLE, title);
  myDB.update("titles", args, strFilter, null);**

Method for updation in SQLite:

public void updateMethod(String name, String updatename){
    String query="update students set email = ? where name = ?";
    String[] selections={updatename, name};
    Cursor cursor=db.rawQuery(query, selections);
}

I will demonstrate with a complete example

Create your database this way

    import android.content.Context
    import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase
    import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper

    class DBHelper(context: Context) : SQLiteOpenHelper(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION) {
        override fun onCreate(db: SQLiteDatabase) {
            val createProductsTable = ("CREATE TABLE " + Business.TABLE + "("
                    + Business.idKey + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT ,"
                    + Business.KEY_a + " TEXT, "
                    + Business.KEY_b + " TEXT, "
                    + Business.KEY_c + " TEXT, "
                    + Business.KEY_d + " TEXT, "
                    + Business.KEY_e + " TEXT )")
            db.execSQL(createProductsTable)
        }
        override fun onUpgrade(db: SQLiteDatabase, oldVersion: Int, newVersion: Int) {
            // Drop older table if existed, all data will be gone!!!
            db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + Business.TABLE)
            // Create tables again
            onCreate(db)

        }
        companion object {
            //version number to upgrade database version
            //each time if you Add, Edit table, you need to change the
            //version number.
            private val DATABASE_VERSION = 1

            // Database Name
            private val DATABASE_NAME = "business.db"
        }
    }

Then create a class to facilitate CRUD -> Create|Read|Update|Delete

class Business {
    var a: String? = null
    var b: String? = null
    var c: String? = null
    var d: String? = null
    var e: String? = null

    companion object {
        // Labels table name
        const val TABLE = "Business"
        // Labels Table Columns names
        const val rowIdKey = "_id"
        const val idKey = "id"
        const val KEY_a = "a"
        const val KEY_b = "b"
        const val KEY_c = "c"
        const val KEY_d = "d"
        const val KEY_e = "e"
    }
}

Now comes the magic

import android.content.ContentValues
import android.content.Context

    class SQLiteDatabaseCrud(context: Context) {
        private val dbHelper: DBHelper = DBHelper(context)

        fun updateCart(id: Int, mBusiness: Business) {
            val db = dbHelper.writableDatabase
            val valueToChange = mBusiness.e
            val values = ContentValues().apply {
                put(Business.KEY_e, valueToChange)
            }
            db.update(Business.TABLE, values, "id=$id", null)
            db.close() // Closing database connection
        }
    }

you must create your ProductsAdapter which must return a CursorAdapter

So in an activity just call the function like this

internal var cursor: Cursor? = null
internal lateinit var mProductsAdapter: ProductsAdapter

 mSQLiteDatabaseCrud = SQLiteDatabaseCrud(this)
    try {
        val mBusiness = Business()
        mProductsAdapter = ProductsAdapter(this, c = todoCursor, flags = 0)
        lstProducts.adapter = mProductsAdapter


        lstProducts.onItemClickListener = OnItemClickListener { parent, view, position, arg3 ->
                val cur = mProductsAdapter.getItem(position) as Cursor
                cur.moveToPosition(position)
                val id = cur.getInt(cur.getColumnIndexOrThrow(Business.idKey))

                mBusiness.e = "this will replace the 0 in a specific position"
                mSQLiteDatabaseCrud?.updateCart(id ,mBusiness)

            }

        cursor = dataBaseMCRUD!!.productsList
        mProductsAdapter.swapCursor(cursor)
    } catch (e: Exception) {
        Log.d("ExceptionAdapter :",""+e)
    }

SQLiteDatabase myDB = this.getWritableDatabase();

ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
cv.put(key1,value1);    
cv.put(key2,value2); /*All values are your updated values, here you are 
                       putting these values in a ContentValues object */
..................
..................

int val=myDB.update(TableName, cv, key_name +"=?", new String[]{value});

if(val>0)
 //Successfully Updated
else
 //Updation failed

Here I have completed this kind of code for update the row of a database, this is the code of Database handler class

public Boolean updateData(String id,String name,String age,String gender){
    SQLiteDatabase sqLiteDatabase = this.getWritableDatabase();
    ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
    contentValues.put(ID,id);
    contentValues.put(NAME,name);
    contentValues.put(AGE,age);
    contentValues.put(GENDER,gender);

    sqLiteDatabase.update(TABLE_NAME,contentValues,ID+"= ?",new String[]{id});
    return true;           //Boolean value return korbe
}

if your sqlite row has a unique id or other equivatent, you can use where clause, like this

update .... where id = {here is your unique row id}

For updates, need to call setTransactionSuccessfull for changes to get committed like so:

db.beginTransaction();
try {
    db.update(...) 
    db.setTransactionSuccessfull(); // changes get rolled back if this not called
} finally {
   db.endTransaction(); // commit or rollback
}

//Here is some simple sample code for update

//First declare this

private DatabaseAppHelper dbhelper;
private SQLiteDatabase db;

//initialize the following

dbhelper=new DatabaseAppHelper(this);
        db=dbhelper.getWritableDatabase();

//updation code

 ContentValues values= new ContentValues();
                values.put(DatabaseAppHelper.KEY_PEDNAME, ped_name);
                values.put(DatabaseAppHelper.KEY_PEDPHONE, ped_phone);
                values.put(DatabaseAppHelper.KEY_PEDLOCATION, ped_location);
                values.put(DatabaseAppHelper.KEY_PEDEMAIL, ped_emailid);
                db.update(DatabaseAppHelper.TABLE_NAME, values,  DatabaseAppHelper.KEY_ID + "=" + ?, null);

//put ur id instead of the 'question mark' is a function in my shared preference.

 public void updateRecord(ContactModel contact) {
    database = this.getReadableDatabase();
    ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
    contentValues.put(COLUMN_FIRST_NAME, contact.getFirstName());
    contentValues.put(COLUMN_LAST_NAME, contact.getLastName());
    contentValues.put(COLUMN_NUMBER,contact.getNumber());
    contentValues.put(COLUMN_BALANCE,contact.getBalance());
    database.update(TABLE_NAME, contentValues, COLUMN_ID + " = ?", new String[]{contact.getID()});
    database.close();
}

Can try like this:

ContentValues values=new ContentValues();
values.put("name","aaa");
values.put("publisher","ppp");
values.put("price","111");

int id=sqdb.update("table_name",values,"bookid='5' and booktype='comic'",null);

use this code in your DB `

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

for updating in your sample.java use this code

  //DB.open();

        try{
              //capture the data from UI
              String name = ((EditText)findViewById(R.id.name)).getText().toString().trim();
              String address =(EditText)findViewById(R.id.address)).getText().toString().trim();

              //open Db
              pdb.open();

              //Save into DBS
              pdb.updatedetails(RowId, name, address);
              Toast.makeText(this, "Modified Successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
              pdb.close();
              startActivity(new Intent(this, sample.class));
              finish();
        }catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e(TAG_AVV, "errorrrrr !!");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    pdb.close();

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);

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 can try this...

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

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);

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.

Simple way:

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

myDataBase.execSQL(strSQL);
