Getting same person twice in response, how to delete 1 from database...Help really stuck


I have done what some of the poeple have said below but now I am getting an Error Code : 2067 (SQLITE_CONSTRAINT_UNIQUE) Caused By : Abort due to constraint violation. (UNIQUE constraint failed: employees.Employee_number (code 2067))

I get this error on the EMployeeDBHandler at

database.insertWithOnConflict(TABLE_EMPLOYEE, null, values, 0);

I am parsing and storing a web service respone into SQLite database. Everything is loading into the database fine. The issue I am running into is I want to be able to delete 1 of the rows that is the same as another. I made uniqueID so it could store into database.

How would I be able to remove 1 of the records that is the same as another? Then take the one that is still there and remove it to another list? I am making a web call with a employeeNumber and want to place that person tied to that employeeNumber in its own listview while everything else from the response in another list.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private ListView mTopList, mDirectReportList;
    private ProgressBar mProgressBar;
    private ArrayList<Employee> mEmployees = new ArrayList<>();
    private BottomListViewAdapter mBottomListViewAdapter;
    EmployeeDBHandler dbHandler;
    SQLiteDatabase db;
    SimpleCursorAdapter simpleCursorAdapter;
    private String startingEmployeeID = startingEmployeeNumber;
    private String table = "employees";
    private static final String KEY_ID = "Employee_number";


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        dbHandler = new EmployeeDBHandler(getApplicationContext());
        mProgressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
        mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    //    mBottomListViewAdapter = new BottomListViewAdapter(this, mEmployees);
    //    directReportListView.setAdapter(mBottomListViewAdapter);
        getXMLData();

        displayBottomList();

        // displayTopList(startingEmployeeID);

        //displayTopList();

        inBuilder.enableWebKitInspector(Stetho.defaultInspectorModulesProvider(this));
        Stetho.Initializer in = inBuilder.build();
        Stetho.initialize(in);


    }

    public void getXMLData() {
        OkHttpClient client = getUnsafeOkHttpClient();
        Request request = new Request.Builder()
                .url(getString(R.string.API_FULL_URL))

            }

            @Override
            public void onResponse(Call call, final Response response) throws IOException {
                final String responseData = response.body().string();
                final InputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(responseData.getBytes());
                final XMLPullParserHandler parserHandler = new XMLPullParserHandler();
                final ArrayList<Employee> employees = (ArrayList<Employee>) parserHandler.parse(stream);

                for (Employee e : employees) {
                     dbHandler.addEmployee(e);

                }

                /*mEmployees.clear();
                mEmployees.addAll(employees);*/

                //tell adapter on the UI thread its data changed
                runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        /*mBottomListViewAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                        directReportListView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);*/
                        mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                    }
                });
            }
        });
    }

    public void displayBottomList() {
        EmployeeDBHandler handler = new EmployeeDBHandler(this);
        SQLiteDatabase db = handler.getWritableDatabase();
        db.rawQuery("DELETE FROM " + table + " WHERE " + "Employee_number" + " EQUALS " + "Employee_number" + ");", null);
        Cursor mBottomListCursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM employees", null);

        ListView mBottomListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.mDirectReportList);
        BottomListViewAdapter bottomAdapter = new BottomListViewAdapter(this, mBottomListCursor);
        mBottomListView.setAdapter(bottomAdapter);
    }
}

Now the displayBottomList method works if I do not attempt to do the delete query but the problem is the startingEmpoyee has two records and I delete one, and then remove the 1 that stays in the database and move it to its own listView.

This is the error I recieve on the delete query in displayBottomList

Error Code : 1 (SQLITE_ERROR) Caused By : SQL(query) error or missing database. (near "EQUALS": syntax error (code 1): , while compiling: DELETE FROM employees WHERE Employee_number EQUALS Employee_number);)

Is is even possible to delete the duplicate and remove the other row to populate a new listview?

Solution

  • Firstly, If you don't want to insert duplicate entries in your table add unique constrain to table like this.

     @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
        String CREATE_EMPLOYEE_TABLE = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS " + TABLE_EMPLOYEE + "("
                + DB_CLIENTS_ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,"
                + KEY_ID + " TEXT,"
                + KEY_FIRST_NAME + " TEXT,"
                + KEY_LAST_NAME + " TEXT,"
                + KEY_PHONE_NUMBER_MOBILE + " TEXT,"
                + KEY_PHONE_NUMBER_OFFICE + " TEXT,"
                + KEY_PAYROLL_TITLE + " TEXT,"
                + KEY_HAS_DIRECT_REPORTS + " TEXT,"
                + KEY_EMAIL + " TEXT,"
                + KEY_THUMBNAIL_IMAGE + " TEXT,"
                + KEY_COST_CENTER + " TEXT" +
                + "UNIQUE("+KEY_ID+")"+
              ")";
        db.execSQL(CREATE_EMPLOYEE_TABLE);
    }
    

    Then while inserting use insertWithOnConflict instead of insert.

    This will ignore the duplicate entries to be inserted in table.

    Secondly , with your current implementation there are following problems :

    1. you should call displayBottomList() method inside onResponse as there would be delay in response and you should populate only after response come.
    2. Query "DELETE FROM " + table + " WHERE " + "Employee_number" + " EQUALS " + "Employee_number" + ");" will delete all records of table . I don't know why you want to do that.
