FATAl Exception during delete record from sqlite in Android?

Question

In my database Inbox table have column name path to keep path of files but when i am trying to delete that record on the base of path the FATAL exception is thrown by Emulator.

// Deleting single File
public void deleteFile(File file) {
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
    db.delete(TABLE_INBOX, KEY_PATH + " = "+file.getPath(),null);
    db.close();
}

Exception is :

FATAL EXCEPTION:main

android.database.sqlite.SQLiteExceprion: unrecognized token:"1kbFile"(code 1):,while compiling :DELETE inbox WHERE path=1kbFile.txt.

1kbFile.txt is path that i want to delete which is already saved in db. how can i solve this?

Answer 1

Try to add ' to your file name, like this :

db.delete(TABLE_INBOX, KEY_PATH + " = '" + file.getPath() + "'", null);

Or you could also try to use separate parameters :

String whereString = KEY_PATH + " = ?";
String[] whereArgs = new String[] {file.getPath()};
db.delete(TABLE_INBOX, whereString, whereArgs);

Answer 2

Use ' around the values. Eg:

db.delete(TABLE_INBOX, KEY_PATH + " = '"+file.getPath()+"'",null);
