Parameters | |
---|---|

String
|
void appendWhere (CharSequence inWhere)
Append a chunk to the WHERE clause of the query. All chunks appended are surrounded
by parenthesis and ANDed with the selection passed to query(SQLiteDatabase, String[], String, String[], String, String, String)
. The final
WHERE clause looks like:
WHERE (<append chunk 1><append chunk2>) AND (<query() selection parameter>)
Parameters | |
---|---|
inWhere |
CharSequence :
the chunk of text to append to the WHERE clause.
|
void appendWhereEscapeString (String inWhere)
Append a chunk to the WHERE clause of the query. All chunks appended are surrounded
by parenthesis and ANDed with the selection passed to query(SQLiteDatabase, String[], String, String[], String, String, String)
. The final
WHERE clause looks like:
WHERE (<append chunk 1><append chunk2>) AND (<query() selection parameter>)
Parameters | |
---|---|
inWhere |
String :

String |
the resulting SQL SELECT statement |

String buildUnionSubQuery (String typeDiscriminatorColumn, String[] unionColumns, Set<String> columnsPresentInTable, int computedColumnsOffset, String typeDiscriminatorValue, String selection, String groupBy, String having)
Construct a SELECT statement suitable for use in a group of SELECT statements that will be joined through UNION operators in buildUnionQuery.
Parameters | |
---|---|
typeDiscriminatorColumn |
String :
the name of the result column
whose cells will contain the name of the table from which
each row was drawn. |
unionColumns |
String :
the names of the columns to appear in the
result. This may include columns that do not appear in the
table this SELECT is querying (i.e. mTables), but that do
appear in one of the other tables in the UNION query that we
are constructing. |
columnsPresentInTable |
Set :
a Set of the names of the columns
that appear in this table (i.e. in the table whose name is
mTables). Since columns in unionColumns include columns that
appear only in other tables, we use this array to distinguish
which ones actually are present. Other columns will have
NULL values for results from this subquery. |
computedColumnsOffset |
int :
all columns in unionColumns before
this index are included under the assumption that they're
computed and therefore won't appear in columnsPresentInTable,
e.g. "date * 1000 as normalized_date" |
typeDiscriminatorValue |
String :
the value used for the
type-discriminator column in this subquery |
selection |
String :
A filter declaring which rows to return,
formatted as an SQL WHERE clause (excluding the WHERE
itself). Passing null will return all rows for the given
URL. |
groupBy |
String :
A filter declaring how to group rows, formatted
as an SQL GROUP BY clause (excluding the GROUP BY itself).
Passing null will cause the rows to not be grouped. |
having |
String :
A filter declare which row groups to include in
the cursor, if row grouping is being used, formatted as an
SQL HAVING clause (excluding the HAVING itself). Passing
null will cause all row groups to be included, and is
required when row grouping is not being used. |

the resulting SQL SELECT statement |
String getTables ()
Returns the list of tables being queried
Returns | |
---|---|

Returns | |
---|---|
Cursor |
a cursor over the result set |
void setCursorFactory (SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory factory)
Sets the cursor factory to be used for the query. You can use one factory for all queries on a database but it is normally easier to specify the factory when doing this query.
Parameters | |
---|---|
factory |
SQLiteDatabase.CursorFactory :
the factory to use.
|
void setDistinct (boolean distinct)
Mark the query as DISTINCT.
Parameters | |
---|---|
distinct |
boolean :
if true the query is DISTINCT, otherwise it isn't
|
void setProjectionMap (Map<String, String> columnMap)
Sets the projection map for the query. The projection map maps from column names that the caller passes into query to database column names. This is useful for renaming columns as well as disambiguating column names when doing joins. For example you could map "name" to "people.name". If a projection map is set it must contain all column names the user may request, even if the key and value are the same.
Parameters | |
---|---|
columnMap |
Map :
maps from the user column names to the database column names
|
void setStrict (boolean flag)
When set, the selection is verified against malicious arguments.
When using this class to create a statement using
buildQueryString(boolean, String, String[], String, String, String, String, String)
,
non-numeric limits will raise an exception. If a projection map is specified, fields
not in that map will be ignored.
If this class is used to execute the statement directly using
query(SQLiteDatabase, String[], String, String[], String, String, String)
or
query(SQLiteDatabase, String[], String, String[], String, String, String, String)
,
additionally also parenthesis escaping selection are caught.
To summarize: To get maximum protection against malicious third party apps (for example
content provider consumers), make sure to do the following:
Parameters | |
---|---|
flag |
boolean
|
void setTables (String inTables)
Sets the list of tables to query. Multiple tables can be specified to perform a join. For example: setTables("foo, bar") setTables("foo LEFT OUTER JOIN bar ON (foo.id = bar.foo_id)")
Parameters | |
---|---|
inTables |
String :
the list of tables to query on
