I need to delete a record from ORMLite Database I can delete a record by id using as below
@Override
public void Delete(int id) throws SQLException {
this.dao.deleteById(id);
}
but what if I have to delete a record from same table not by id but by name or any other field
I want something like
public void Deletefromcanteen(String name,MealType mealtype) {
this.dao.deletebyName(name);
}
what query should i write using querybuilder to delete a record where name = name and mealtype = say (lunch)
I tried something like this in my databasehelper class
public void deletefromcanteen(int id, String mealtype) {
try {
Dao<CanteenLog, Integer> canteenDao = getCanteen();
DeleteBuilder<CanteenLog, Integer> deleteBuilder = canteenDao
.deleteBuilder();
deleteBuilder.where().eq("user_id", id).and().eq("meal", mealtype);
canteenDao.delete(deleteBuilder.prepare());
} catch (Exception e) {
...
}
}
deleteBuilder.where().eq("FIELD_NAME", arg);
deleteBuilder.delete();
Update:
For example :
//Get helper
DatabaseHelper helper = OpenHelperManager.getHelper(App.getContext(), DatabaseHelper.class);
//get dao
Dao dao = helper.getDao(YOUR_CLASS.class);
//delete elements from table in field by arg
DeleteBuilder<CanteenLog, Integer> deleteBuilder = dao.deleteBuilder();
deleteBuilder.where().eq("FIELD_NAME", arg);
deleteBuilder.delete();
Good luck!
To save building a query, you can do a select to find the ID, then do a delete by ID. Thsi will be straightforward if you already have the select query set up for this table.
It can be done also like that
DatabaseHelper.getInstance().getDao(YourObject.class).delete(yourObjectInstance);
If you are using Kotlin, you will need to do something like this instead since the type inference is not currently working correctly for the fluent syntax:
val deleteBuilder = dao.deleteBuilder()
val where = deleteBuilder.where().eq("address", address)
deleteBuilder.setWhere(where)
deleteBuilder.delete()
If you already have an instance of the object (or object list) you want to delete, just do :
//Get helper
DatabaseHelper helper =
OpenHelperManager.getHelper(App.getContext(), DatabaseHelper.class);
// delete 'em !
helper.getDao(YourObject.class).delete(yourObjectInstance);
If you don't have the instance to delete or you want to do it SQL way(!):
//Get helper
DatabaseHelper helper =
OpenHelperManager.getHelper(App.getContext(), DatabaseHelper.class);
//get dao
Dao dao = helper.getDao(YOUR_CLASS.class);
//delete elements from table in field by arg
DeleteBuilder<CanteenLog, Integer> deleteBuilder = dao.deleteBuilder();
deleteBuilder.where().eq("FIELD_NAME", "FIELD_VALUE");
deleteBuilder.delete();
If you need a more complicated Where
logic, then use deleteBuilder.where().or()
or deleteBuilder.where().and()
to add more constraints.
