Query for deleting a particular record form the SQLite Database in android

I want to delete the selected record form my SQLite Database in my android application. But I can't do it and getting the exception while program runs.

Here is what I am trying to delete the Particular Selected Record.

 public void deleteRecord(String datarecord)
   {
       this.db.delete(TABLE_NAME, "name="+datarecord , null);
   }

And this is what I am doing on the click event from where I perform the delete operation of the selected Record.

dh.deleteRecord(FavMusicList[position]);

dh is the object of my DataHelper Class where I have created the deleteRecord function.

I am getting the SQLite Exception for the Syntax Error. So I guess I am surely making mistake with the Syntax to delete the Particular Selected Record but couldn't know what exactly I have to correct.

Can anybody please help me in this?

Thanks, david

Solution

  • DELETE FROM table1 WHERE name=Iâm very drunk

    Space is not allowed. You should give quote, or double quote in the WHERE clause.
