How to insert double and float values to sqlite?

Question

Following is my db creation code.

@Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
        db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_NAME + " (" + 
                _ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " + 
                TIME + " INTEGER, " + 
                LONGI + " TEXT, "+
                LATI + " TEXT, "+
                SPEED + " TEXT, "+
                ACCU + " TEXT);");
    }

Then here goes the adding an data point code

private void addGeoDataEntry(double logi, double lati, float speed, float accu) {
        SQLiteDatabase db = gpsDataHelper.getWritableDatabase();
        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        values.put(TIME, System.currentTimeMillis());
        values.put(LONGI, logi+"");
        values.put(LATI, lati+"");
        values.put(SPEED, speed+"");
        values.put(ACCU, accu+"");
        db.insertOrThrow(TABLE_NAME, null, values);
    }

when I call

addGeoDataEntry(10.0,11.0,3.0f,1.1f);

it gives the following error. How to fix this?

03-14 13:57:26.910: I/Database(27910): sqlite returned: error code = 1, msg = near "1.0": syntax error

Answer 1

REAL is what you are looking for. Documentation of SQLite datatypes

Answer 2

SQL Supports following types of affinities:

• TEXT
• NUMERIC
• INTEGER
• REAL
• BLOB

If the declared type for a column contains any of these "REAL", "FLOAT", or "DOUBLE" then the column has 'REAL' affinity.

Answer 3

I think you should give the data types of the column as NUMERIC or DOUBLE or FLOAT or REAL

Read http://sqlite.org/datatype3.html to more info.

Answer 4

Each value stored in an SQLite database has one of the following storage classes − You can use either one of them REAL or DOUBLE or BLOB or NUMERIC . Details are given below:

REAL : The value is a floating point value, stored as an 8-byte IEEE floating point number.

BLOB : The value is a blob of data, stored exactly as it was input.

INTEGER : The value is a signed integer, stored in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 bytes depending on the magnitude of the value.

NUMERIC : This column may contain values using all five storage classes.

For more detailed information: SQLite Data Type

Answer 5

actually I think your code is just fine.. you can save those values as strings (TEXT) just like you did.. (if you want to)

and you probably get the error for the System.currentTimeMillis() that might be too big for INTEGER
