I have a database name "CUED" (sqlite Android)it have a table HELLO which contain a column NAME I can get the value to String from that column.
Let me show you my code section
myDB =hello.this.openOrCreateDatabase("CUED", MODE_PRIVATE, null);
Cursor crs = myDB.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM HELLO", null);
while(crs.moveToNext())
{
String uname = crs.getString(crs.getColumnIndex("NAME"));
System.out.println(uname);
}
It will print the value one by one.Now what I need is that I want to get the column values from database and so that I can store it in a String Array.
You already did the hard part... the array stuff is pretty simple:
String[] array = new String[crs.getCount()];
int i = 0;
while(crs.moveToNext()){
String uname = crs.getString(crs.getColumnIndex("NAME"));
array[i] = uname;
i++;
}
Whatever, I always recommend to use collections in cases like this:
List<String> array = new ArrayList<String>();
while(crs.moveToNext()){
String uname = crs.getString(crs.getColumnIndex("NAME"));
array.add(uname);
}
In order to compare the arrays, you can do things like this:
boolean same = true;
for(int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
if(!array[i].equals(ha[i])){
same = false;
break;
}
}
// same will be false if the arrays do not have the same elements
String[] str= new String[crs.getCount()];
crs.movetoFirst();
for(int i=0;i<str.length();i++)
{
str[i] = crs.getString(crs.getColumnIndex("NAME"));
System.out.println(uname);
crs.movetoNext();
}
Enjoy it
This is my code that returns arraylist contains afield value:
public ArrayList<String> getAllPlayers() {
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cur = db.rawQuery("SELECT " + serailnumber + " as _id, " + title
+ " from " + table, new String[] {});
ArrayList<String> array = new ArrayList<String>();
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
String uname = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(title));
array.add(uname);
}
return array;
}
