I would like to know how to store a single integer value to an sqlite database locally and then retrieve this value in a method in another class. PS: I don't want to use sharedpreference.
I have a boolean set to true which I have converted to an int using;
public class MainActivity extends Activity{
boolean booleanValue = true
public static int value= (booleanValue == true)? 1:0;
}
In Class 2
public int retrieveValue(){
//SQlite function to retrieve integer value
int valueInDatabase = value;
return valueInDatabase;
}
The database is not a solution for your case. If you do not want to use shared preference then use the file.
fun readFromFile(context: Context, fileName: String): String {
return try {
FileInputStream(File(context.applicationContext.filesDir, fileName)).bufferedReader()
.use { it.readText() }
} catch (e: Exception) {
println("it is checking point of Error read file " + e.message)
""
}
}
fun writeToFile(context: Context, fileName: String, data: String = "") {
try {
FileOutputStream(File(context.applicationContext.filesDir, fileName)).use {
it.write(data.toByteArray())
}
} catch (e: FileNotFoundException) {
println("it is checking point of Error write file " + e.message)
}
}
How to use it in your code.
In your main activity.
writeToFile(this, YOUR_FILE_NAME, yourInterger.toString())
Then in your second activity
val fileContent = readFromFile(this, YOUR_FILE_NAME)
var yourInterger = if (fileContent.isEmpty()) {
yourDefaultValue
}else{
fileContent.toInt()
}
But if you want the only database then, Official sitel will help you
// Gets the data repository in write mode
val db = dbHelper.writableDatabase
// Create a new map of values, where column names are the keys
val values = ContentValues().apply {
put(FeedEntry.COLUMN_NAME_TITLE, title)
put(FeedEntry.COLUMN_NAME_SUBTITLE, subtitle)
}
// Insert the new row, returning the primary key value of the new row
val newRowId = db?.insert(FeedEntry.TABLE_NAME, null, values)
