SQLiteDatabase Part2: inserting data into Table Example

Part 2: inserting data into tables

ScreenShots:

Step 1: add the following method in DBAdapter

DBAdapter.java

public long insertValues(String name, String contact) {

              ContentValues values = new ContentValues();

              values.put("name", name);

              values.put("phone", contact);

              return database.insert(DBOpenHelper.SAMPLE_TABLE_NAME, null, values);

       }

Step 2: Create InsertActivity and its respective xml write the following code in xml and Activity

activity_insert.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"

    tools:context=".InsertActivity" >

    <EditText

        android:id="@+id/insert_editText_name"

        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

        android:ems="10"

        android:hint="Enter Your Name" >

        <requestFocus />

    </EditText>

    <EditText

        android:id="@+id/insert_editText_contact"

        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/insert_editText_name"

        android:layout_below="@+id/insert_editText_name"

        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"

        android:ems="10"

        android:hint="Enter Your Contact Number"

        android:inputType="phone" />

    <Button

        android:id="@+id/insert_button_submit"

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/insert_editText_contact"

        android:layout_below="@+id/insert_editText_contact"

        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"

        android:layout_marginTop="24dp"

        android:text="Submit"

        android:onClick="submit" />

    <Button

        android:id="@+id/insert_button_cancel"

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/insert_button_submit"

        android:layout_alignRight="@+id/insert_editText_contact"

        android:layout_marginRight="10dp"

        android:text="Cancel"

        android:onClick="cancel" />

</RelativeLayout>

InsertActivity.java

package com.swamys.databaseexample;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.view.View;

import android.widget.EditText;

import android.widget.Toast;

import com.swamys.database.dbadapter.DBAdapter;

public class InsertActivity extends Activity {

       EditText editText_name, editText_contact;

       String name, contact;

       DBAdapter dbAdapter;

       @Override

       protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

              super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

              setContentView(R.layout.activity_insert);

              // create references for all the four views

              editText_name = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.insert_editText_name);

              editText_contact = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.insert_editText_contact);

              // create reference for DBAdaper

              dbAdapter = new DBAdapter(getApplicationContext());

       }

       // submit button click listener

       public void submit(View view) {

              name = editText_name.getText().toString();

              contact = editText_contact.getText().toString();

              long response = dbAdapter.insertValues(name, contact);

              if (response == -1) {

                     Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Data failed to insert",

                                  Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

              } else {

                     Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),

                                  "Data inserted successfully", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

              }

              finish();

       }

       // cancel button click listener

       public void cancel(View view) {

              finish();

       }

       @Override

       protected void onDestroy() {

              super.onDestroy();

              dbAdapter.closeConnection();

       }

}

Step 3: create button in activity_main.xml name it as insert

activity_main.xml

<Button

        android:id="@+id/main_button_insert"

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"

        android:layout_marginTop="18dp"

        android:text="Insert"

        android:onClick="insert" />

Step 4: add insert(View) method in MainActivity

MainActivity.java

public void insert(View view) {

              Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),

                           InsertActivity.class);

              startActivity(intent);

       }

Step 5: Register InsertActivity in Manifest file

Manifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    package="com.swamys.databaseexample"

    android:versionCode="1"

    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk

        android:minSdkVersion="9"

        android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

    <application

        android:allowBackup="true"

        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"

        android:label="@string/app_name"

        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

        <activity

            android:name="com.swamys.databaseexample.MainActivity"

            android:label="@string/app_name" >

            <intent-filter>

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

            </intent-filter>

        </activity>

        <activity

            android:name="com.swamys.databaseexample.InsertActivity"

            android:label="@string/title_activity_insert" >

        </activity>

    </application>

</manifest>
