How to insert a SQLite record with a datetime set to 'now' in Android application?
- by droidguy
Say, we have a table created as:
create table notes (_id integer primary key autoincrement, created_date date)
To insert a record, I'd use
ContentValues initialValues = new ContentValues();
initialValues.put("date_created", "");
long rowId = mDb.insert(DATABASE_TABLE, null, initialValues);
But how to set the date_created column to "now"? To make it clear, the
initialValues.put("date_created", "datetime('now')");
Is not the right solution. It just sets the column to "datetime('now')" text.
