How to count number of records in sqlite in Android

Question

I am working on android project. I used sqlite database for it. I have tables in database. I have created databasehelper class. i want to count number of records in particul

Answer 1

Please try this:

In your DatabaseHelper.java:

public Cursor getYourTableContents() {
  SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();

  Cursor data = db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM " + "Your table name", null);

  return data;
}

To get the number of rows in your table:

Cursor yourCursor = myDB.getYourTableContents();

int i = 0;

while (yourCursor.moveToNext()) {
  i += 1;
}

i is your rows count as an integer.
