How to make AUTO_INCREMENT on Android SQLite database?

Question

Hey I want to create a database with an AUTO_INCREMENT column. But I don\'t know how to parse the value in the method insert. I just don\'t know what to parse to an AUTO_INC

Answer 1

You don't have to parse anything. If the column was created as AUTOINCREMENT, just pass the other values:

db.execSQL("insert into "
        + TABLE_NAME
        + "(contact_id, contact_name, number_type, contact_number, duration, date, current_time, cont) "
        + "values( "+ cId + ", " + cName + ", " + numType + ", "
        + cNum + ", " + dur + ", " + date + ", " + currTime + ", ? )");

By the way, it's always recommended to insert data using the Android's insert method:

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("contact_id", cId);
values.put("contact_name", cName);
// etc.
db.insert(TABLE_NAME, null, values);
