Get generated id after insert

Question

I\'m using the SQLite with Android, and I want to know the best way to get the generated id of the row I inserted.

A solution I think makes a search after include, b

Answer 1

One can simply get last inserted row _id using last_insert_rowid(). Sample code is as below.

/**
 * Return Last inserted row id(auto incremented row) (_id)
 * @return
 */
public int getLastAddedRowId() {
    String queryLastRowInserted = "select last_insert_rowid()";

    final Cursor cursor = database.rawQuery(queryLastRowInserted, null);
    int _idLastInsertedRow = 0;
    if (cursor != null) {
        try {
            if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
                _idLastInsertedRow = cursor.getInt(0);
            }
        } finally {
            cursor.close();
        }
    }

    return _idLastInsertedRow;

}
