What is the .get type of checkbox

Question

i'm trying to save user data to a database. There is 2 checkboxes teacher and student but there is only one table. the table is looks like this

private static final String CREATE_TABLE_USER ="CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_USER + " ( " +
            USER_ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " +
            NAME + " TEXT, " +
            PASSWORD + " TEXT, " +
            TYPE + " TEXT " + ")";

this is the insert method

 public boolean registeruser(String name, String password, String type) {
        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
        ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
        contentValues.put(NAME, name);
        contentValues.put(PASSWORD, password);
        contentValues.put(TYPE, type);

        long result = db.insert(TABLE_USER, null, contentValues);
        return result != -1;
    }

when i'm calling the registeruser db function i have to declare a type but the type is 2 checkboxes how can i mention it in here

Answer 1

The method isChecked() of the CheckBox class returns true or false.
I guess you want to save "Teacher" or "Student" in the table:

db.registeruser(
    username.getText().toString(), 
    password.getText().toString(), 
    teacher.isChecked() ? "Teacher" : (student.isChecked() ? "Student" : "N/A")
);
