My Date filed is TEXT;

I need to sort the result like in mysql

select * from Table where YEAR(DATE)='2015';

How can I get the above result in Andorid sqlite database?

Answer 1

I think you want to use the LIKE operand

SELECT * FROM table WHERE Date LIKE '2015%'

Edit for query:

String selectQuery = "SELECT id, name FROM table WHERE date like \'" + "2015" + "\'";
Cursor c = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, new String[] { fileNameOfDb });
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
    name = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("name"));
}
c.close();
