How to retrieve data from a SQLite database in Android

Posted on December 19, 2011
Hello Android fellows let us Retrieve today
I mean lets learn how to retrieve data from a SQLite database in
Android. This is the second part of the SQLite blog series. In my previous post I have shown you how to insert
data to a SQLite database. I am continuing from there. So please have a look on my previous post before you go
through this post directly.
If you guys can remember, you did not able to see anything when we started our undergraduate GPA Android
application last time. But after coding to retrieve data form the SQLite database, you will be able to see the
existing or the registered undergraduates names in our first UI (User Interface) as shown below.
Figure 1
Hey you can only see names of the undergraduates. What happen to the other details? :O Dont worry and dont
be hurry, you can see those details when you click on a name of an undergraduate as in Figure 2
Figure 2
Enough fancy stories. Let me explain the logic and the techniques behind this. The basic logic is similar to what we
have done when we inserting data. That means to contact the database we need a helper class which extends
the SQLiteOpenHelper class. Then we need a readable SQLite database. If you can remember my previous post,
there we have used a writable database because we wanted to insert data. But today we are going to retrieve data.

OK, now we have a SQLite database that can be read. How are we going to read it? Cursor class will give you a
hand to fulfill your target. By using a while loop, we can traverse each and every raw of the particular table. Lets
look at the code now. The comment in the code is more clear than the explanation here, because I have explain
almost all the lines with comments.

Bundle dataBundle = new Bundle();
dataBundle.putString("clickedUgraduateName", clickedObject.getuGraduateName());

dataBundle.putDouble("clickedUgraduateGpa", clickedObject.getuGraduateGpa());
// Attach the bundled data to the intent
updateDeleteUgraduateIntent.putExtras(dataBundle);
// Start the Activity
startActivity(updateDeleteUgraduateIntent);
}
}
Above is the full code for retrieve. I will explain the scenario from where I have stopped. Now you have the data
set which we have read from the SQLite database. You have a ListView that you can visualize the out put to the
user. You can combine the UI component and the data set by using an Adapter. Here I have used an
ArrayAdapter.
Figure 2 relate with a new Activity. You can see, that I have call a new Activity with in the OnItemClick method.
Those things I have covered in my previous blogs. Therefore dont ask me to repeat it here
I think this is more than enough for todays blog post. I will upload the source code to GitHub after completing
Update and Delete functions as well.
Wish all of you a Merry Christmas!!!

i want to know about your UpdateDeleteUndergraduateActivity.

help me !

anujarosha says:
Hi Nayak,
It is an Activity class. Therefore you should have an XML layout relate to that class. Figure 2 shows the UI for that
layout. What I have done in the background is getting the Bundle content and set the values of the EditText fields
accordingly. If you have no idea how to use Bundle class, please go through this post
(http://anujarosha.wordpress.com/2011/03/07/how-to-get-the-content-that-user-type-in-a-edittext-field-in-oneactivity-to-another-activity-in-android/)
I will upload the full source code to GitHub after I have completed the Update and Delete function blog post.
Good luck

Hi Nayak,
You are asking about Delete function which is going to be my next blog post
I will definitely show you the
source code. Till then take an effort. Ill give you a hint. Removing an item in the middle of the ListView means,
removing that items whole data from the SQLite database.
- Put a Delete button in the XML file in Figure 2
- Get values given in the EditText fields
- Use SQLiteOpenHelper
- Use SQLiteDatabase
- String[] for whereClauseArgument
- Finally use the delete query
Good luck!!!

anujarosha says:
hi Kirti,
As far as I know, you no need to do any kind of settings. We retrieve data using our own application. You cant see
the raw database just like we can see in phpMyAdmin in your REAL device. But you can see in the emulator with
the help of SQLite browser.

Hi,
I got a problem when adding more columns saying dat no column inserted when I have specified that column. Can you
provide your email address so that I can attach the database file, I would be grateful if you can look at it and see what the

Hi Shipra,
Post your Error or more detials about your error. We will try to solve that. You said that you have insert data to the
database using SQLite browser. Hope you have push that file back to the device/emulator before you run your
code in Android.

Look at the following lines in LogCat out-put.
03-27 07:37:15.579: E/AndroidRuntime(282): Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

com.pollyroid.display_quest.onCreate(display_quest.java:39)
When you click on the last line of the above two mentioned lines, you will be redirect to the line where you
get the NullPointerException. Another way is, go to the mentioned code line. In this scenario it is line 39.
But when I copy your code in the IDE and check what is in the line 39, it shows me the comments which is
something that wont make errors.
Things I have noticed are, you have to check whether you get the result from the SQLite database.
ListAdapter is a default Android class and you have made a variable from that exact name. Please
replace first letter with simple l. You will get NullPointerException when your ArrayList is empty. So
check whether your Array is filled with data.
Good luck!!!

Hi Girish,
Ill just give you some hints because Im writing this reply in a rush. You can create your own Adapter class. But
that class may extends appropriate ***Adapter class. As an example, if you are having an ExpandableList, you
have to extends ExpandableListAdapter.
You can have your own layout. Just check LayoutInflater class, View class and inflate() method.
Good luck

For everybody who are asking for XML,

It is not a big deal for me to upload the XML files to GitHub. But what I think is, a good programmer is NOT a person who
just copy and paste others code without understanding the concept. I have posted the UI and also all the logic codes that
important to this application which is more than enough for the people who wants to learn something
Good luck
