SQLite not updating table

Question

I'm learning database right now. I created an SQLite database. I've 6 EditText in my layout and when I click on "Save to DB" button the data gets saved to DB. And when I click on "Show" button, it displays the DB details in EditTexts. But the problem is, when I try to save different data in the same database, it doesn't gets updated with the new data and the "Show" button shows the old data only.

public class FragmentFour extends Fragment {

    EditText name_ET, website_ET, bio_ET, altEmail_ET, phone_ET, facebook_ET;
    String name_str="", website_str="", bio_str="", altEmail_str="", phone_str="", facebook_str="";
    Button save, show, clear;
    private SQLiteHandler db;

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_four, container, false);

      db = new SQLiteHandler(getActivity());

        name_ET = (EditText)rootView.findViewById(R.id.name);
        website_ET = (EditText)rootView.findViewById(R.id.webiste);
        bio_ET = (EditText)rootView.findViewById(R.id.bio);
        altEmail_ET = (EditText)rootView.findViewById(R.id.altEmail);
        phone_ET = (EditText)rootView.findViewById(R.id.phone);
        facebook_ET = (EditText)rootView.findViewById(R.id.facebook);

        save = (Button)rootView.findViewById(R.id.btn_save);
        show = (Button)rootView.findViewById(R.id.btn_show);
        clear = (Button)rootView.findViewById(R.id.btn_clr);

        save.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                name_str = name_ET.getText().toString();
                website_str = website_ET.getText().toString();
                bio_str = bio_ET.getText().toString();
                altEmail_str = altEmail_ET.getText().toString();
                phone_str = phone_ET.getText().toString();
                facebook_str = facebook_ET.getText().toString();

                db.addProfile(name_str, website_str, bio_str, altEmail_str, phone_str, facebook_str);
                name_ET.setText("");
                website_ET.setText("");
                bio_ET.setText("");
                altEmail_ET.setText("");
                phone_ET.setText("");
                facebook_ET.setText("");



            }
        });

        show.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                HashMap<String, String> pro = db.getProfDetails();
                String name = pro.get("name");
                String website = pro.get("website");
                String bio = pro.get("bio");
                String email = pro.get("email");
                String phone = pro.get("phone");
                String facebook = pro.get("facebook");

                name_ET.setText(name);
                website_ET.setText(website);
                bio_ET.setText(bio);
                altEmail_ET.setText(email);
                phone_ET.setText(phone);
                facebook_ET.setText(facebook);

            }
        });

        clear.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

Answer 1

Scenario 1

I think data is being saved to the Database but problem is that on click of "Save to DB" button you are inserting the data to the table.

When you retrieve the data you get the first row from the cursor ( cursor.moveToFirst(); ) and display it in your EditText .

Rather than inserting the value into the database you should update it if data already exists in the table or simply delete the existing rows before inserting new one.

If you want to clear the table

Just add this line

db.execSQL("delete from "+ TABLE_PROF);

before

long id = db.insert(TABLE_PROF, null, values);

in addProfile() method

If you want to update the existing row

Use command like this

db.update(TABLE_PROF, values, "_id=1", null);

But do a check if there is an existing item. If item doesn't exist just insert the row/

Scenario 2

Or if you want to add multiple rows then you should show values in the EditText from the last row of cursor ( cursor.moveToLast(); ).

Change

 cursor.moveToFirst();

to

 cursor.moveToLast();

then you will see the updated values.

Answer 2

On the click of the button you always insert a new row to your database, there is no update statement in your code.

Also, when your query the database and your get a cursor back, that cursor can be used to iterate over the results. What you are basically doing over there is instruct the cursor to moveToFirst and you only query the first row. So even if you add the update function you will always get the first row of the results.

Look at the official documentation to see how you can update a row and how you can use a cursor.

See this for an example.
