Get updated rows count from SQLite in Android using a raw query?

Question

How can I get the number of rows updated using an update statement in SQLite in Android?

Note that I need to use some type of raw execute of a SQL state

Answer 1

You can use SQLiteStatement.executeUpdateDelete method for this:

SQLiteDatabase db = getReadableDatabase();
SQLiteStatement statement = db.compileStatement("[your sql here]");
int affectedRows = statement.executeUpdateDelete();

The same method used internally in SQLiteDatabase.update(...) methods.
