how to bulk insert in sqlite in android

问题:

I am using SQLiteOpenHelper for data insertion. I need to insert 2500 id and 2500 names, So it takes too much time. Please any one help me how to reduce the insertion time. can we insert multiple records at a time ? any one help me. thank you in advance. code:

public class DatabaseHandler extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
    SQLiteDatabase db;
    private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 8;
    private static final String TABLE_CITY = "CITYDETAILS";
    public DatabaseHandler(Context context) {
        super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
        this.mContext = context;
}

public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
    db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + TABLE_CITY );
    String CREATE_CITY_TABLE = "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_CITY + "("
                + CityId + " INTEGER," + CityName + " TEXT " + ")";
    db.execSQL(CREATE_CITY_TABLE);
    db.execSQL(CREATE_RechargeTypes_TABLE);
    this.db=db;
 }

 @Override
 public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
     // Drop older table if existed
     // Create tables again
     onCreate(db);
 }

 public  void add_city(String cityid,String cityname){
     SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
     db.beginTransaction();
     ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
     values.put(CityId, cityid);
     values.put(CityName, cityname);
     db.insert(TABLE_CITY, null, values);
     db.insertWithOnConflict(TABLE_CITY, null, values, SQLiteDatabase.CONFLICT_IGNORE);
     db.setTransactionSuccessful();
     db.endTransaction();
     }
}

activity calss:

try{
            String Status = result.get("Status").getAsString();
            if (TextUtils.equals(Status, "true")) {
                Gson gson = new Gson();

                JsonArray array = result.get("data")
                        .getAsJsonArray();
                Type type = new TypeToken<ArrayList<Cities>>() {
                }.getType();
                setmCities((ArrayList<Cities>) gson.fromJson(array, type));
                for(int i=0;i< array.size();i++) {

                   db.add_city(mCities.get(i).getCityid(),mCities.get(i).getCityname());

                }
            }

Use a transaction to insert all the rows -- NOT one row per transaction.

SQLiteDatabase db = ...
db.beginTransaction();
try {
    // do ALL your inserts here
    db.setTransactionSuccessful()
} finally {
    db.endTransaction();
}

EDIT

public void add_cities(List<Cities> list) {
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
    db.beginTransaction();
    try {
        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        for (Cities city : list) {
            values.put(CityId, city.getCityid());
            values.put(CityName, city.getCityName());
            db.insert(TABLE_CITY, null, values);
        }
        db.setTransactionSuccessful();
    } finally {
        db.endTransaction();
    }
}

ALL inserts, ONE transaction.

Thank you @karakuri. i pass the list of city id and city name to add_city function and loop through that list and insert all the data. From this we can insert data to database in a small amount of time.

database class:

public void add_cities(ArrayList<Cities> list) {
        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
        db.beginTransaction();
        try {
            ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
            for (Cities city : list) {
                values.put(CityId, city.getCityid());
                values.put(CityName, city.getCityname());
                db.insert(TABLE_CITY, null, values);
            }
            db.setTransactionSuccessful();
        } finally {
            db.endTransaction();
        }
    }

data class:

public class Cities {
    public String getCityid() {
        return cityid;
    }

    public void setCityid(String cityid) {
        this.cityid = cityid;
    }

    public String getCityname() {
        return cityname;
    }

    public void setCityname(String cityname) {
        this.cityname = cityname;
    }

    @Expose

    private String cityid="0";

    @Expose
    private String cityname="";

    public Cities(){
    }

}

activity class:

 ArrayList<Cities> mCities;
     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);
            db = new DatabaseHandler(getApplicationContext());
           executeCircleAndOperatorsList();

        }
      void executeCircleAndOperatorsList() {
     db.ClearTables();
            ServiceClient serviceClient = ServiceUtil.getServiceClient();
            JsonParser jsonParser = new JsonParser();

           mCitiesCallback = new CancelableCallback(citiescallback);

            serviceClient.getCities("getCities_v1", mCitiesCallback);
    }
    Callback<JsonObject> citiescallback=new Callback<JsonObject>() {

            @Override
            public void success(final JsonObject jsonObject, Response response) {
                Thread t=new Thread(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        parsecities(jsonObject);
                        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                            }
                        });
                    }
                });
                t.start();

        };
        public void parsecities(JsonObject result) {
            //Log.v("TAG_RESULT", "" +result.toString());
            try{
                String Status = result.get("Status").getAsString();
                if (TextUtils.equals(Status, "true")) {
                    Gson gson = new Gson();

                    JsonArray array = result.get("data")

                    long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
                    db.add_cities(mCities);

                    System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis() - start);
                    circle_list=db.get_cities();
                    Log.v("TAG_CIRCLELIST",""+circle_list);



                }
                else if (TextUtils.equals("Status", "false")) {

                    // showToast(operators.getMessage());

                } else {
                    throw new JSONException("Something went wrong ");
                }        }catch(Exception e){

            }

        }
      public void setmCities(ArrayList<Cities> mCities) {
            this.mCities = mCities;
        }
    }

try SQLiteStatement
in 2-3 times faster than just beginTransaction()

public void add_cities(ArrayList<Cities> list) {
    SQLiteDatabase database = this.getWritableDatabase();
    String sql = "INSERT INTO " + TABLE_NAME + " VALUES(?, ?)";
    SQLiteStatement statement = database.compileStatement(sql);
    database.beginTransaction();
    try {
        for (Cities c : list) {
            statement.clearBindings();
            statement.bindLong(1, c.getCityId());
            statement.bindLong(2, c.getCityName());
            statement.execute();
        }
        database.setTransactionSuccessful();
    } finally {
        database.endTransaction();
    }
}

Put your queries in string array in string.xml, open them in code with resource handler and perform them in cycle. Before cycle use beginTransaction() and entTransaction() methods to rollback changes in case failure.
