Using COLLATE in Android SQLite - Locales is ignored in LIKE statement

Question

When creating my SQLite database in Android I set the database locale - db.setLocale(new Locale(\"cz_CZ\")). This is a Czech locale.

A SELECT statement works and tak

Answer 1

Have you had a look at the SQLite documentation for LIKE? It has come information about non ASCII characters and a bug. Maybe Android has an older version of SQLite installed where this is a problem.

I think the second normalised column might be your best option unfortunately.
