Delete row in database table given one column value - which is a string

Question

I have a table with column headings: | _id (long) | Name (String) | x (integer) | y (integer) |

I want to delete the row in the table that has Name myName.

Answer 1

Try putting the value of the where clause in quotes...

KEY_NAME + "='" + myName + "'"

Also, it is bad practice (generally) to use a string-based WHERE clause. This is because if my name has an apostrophe in it, your app will not work. You should probably look for an alternative way to delete records from a database on Android.
