Skip inserting if value is null in SQLite - java

While inserting to Android SQLite Database I want to skip the values that user did not fill.
But I am getting null pointer exception.
In my DBHelper class I tried both "... NOT NULL" and without not null option but I think it is not the solution.
public void addToDb(View view) {
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("entry",0);
float lastlatitude = sharedPreferences.getFloat("latitude",0f);
float lastlongitude = sharedPreferences.getFloat("longitude",0f);
if (mTitleInput.getText().length() == 0 ||
mEntryInput.getText().length() == 0) {
return;
}
try {
Date a = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, MMM d, ''yy");
String o = sdf.format(a);
title = mTitleInput.getText().toString();
entry = mEntryInput.getText().toString();
dateStr = o;
image = getApplicationContext().getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath() + String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()) + ".jpg";
rating = mRatingBar.getRating();
latitude = lastlatitude;
longitude = lastlongitude;
} catch (NumberFormatException ex) {
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Failed to parse party size text to number: " + ex.getMessage());
}
// Add to mDb
addNewEntry(title, entry, dateStr, image, rating, latitude, longitude);
//clear UI text fields
mTitleInput.getText().clear();
mEntryInput.getText().clear();
}
EDIT 1 : Stacktrace.

Hi you have to check if they are null for example
dateStr = o == null ? "" : o;
this will check if o is null if it is it will set dateStr to empty, if not it will use o. you can use that for all of your variables.

Android Studio stopped recognising SQLite database without me changing any code or updating database

I've been working on a language learning app for a university project which needs to take vocabulary from an SQLite database.
This was previously working fine, but now it gives me an IndexOutOfBoundsException whenever the app has to communicate with the database. This is without me making any changes to the database or the code being used. I had encountered the problem before and managed to resolve it by rebuilding the entire app from scratch and copying code across from the previous project, but now it has started recurring.
Here is the error message:

And here is my code from the relevant classes. The error is thrown when it tries to run the getRandomTenQuestions and getRandomThreeOptions method.

int vocabIdIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex("vocab_id");
int vocabIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex("vocab");
int vocabImageIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex("vocab_image");
int lessonIdIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex("lesson_id");
int languageIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex("language");
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
VocabModel model = new VocabModel(cursor.getInt(vocabIdIndex)
, cursor.getString(vocabIndex)

}
return modelArrayList;
}
public ArrayList<VocabModel> getRandomThreeOptions(FlagsDatabase fd, int vocab_id, int lesson_id, String language) {

int vocabIdIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex("vocab_id");
int vocabIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex("vocab");
int vocabImageIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex("vocab_image");
int lessonIdIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex("lesson_id");

, cursor.getString(vocabIndex)
, cursor.getString(vocabImageIndex)
, cursor.getInt(lessonIdIndex)
, cursor.getString(languageIndex));
modelArrayList.add(model);
}
return modelArrayList;
}
I have also considered that it might be related to this class but I'm not sure how:
#Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS \"vocabtable\" (\n" +
"\t\"vocab_id\"\tINTEGER,\n" +
"\t\"vocab\"\tTEXT,\n" +
"\t\"vocab_image\"\tTEXT,\n" +
"\t\"lesson_id\"\tINTEGER,\n" +
"\t\"language\"\tTEXT\n" +
");");
}
#Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int i, int i1) {
db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS vocabtable");
onCreate(db);
}
The only thing I've considered is it could be related to Android Studio updating. I'm not 100% sure but both times the problem has recurred seems to have been after downloading an update. If so, will I just have to rebuild the project from scratch again or is there some other way around it?
Thanks!

ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception for huge number of objects in array [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What causes a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and how do I prevent it?
(26 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
When size of data is 600, there is no exceltion.
When the size of the data is 800 I am getting following exception, after completing all the iterations and exiting the loop at following line:
'imageAdapter = new ImageAdapter(MainActivity.getAppContext(), posters);'
Issue is not related to splitArray[] which is inside the loop. Please note that it works for smaller size data.
Please help.

mMoviePoster.setAdapter(imageAdapter);

}
One of the line included between the 600th and 800th line is incomplete.
Add this following line :
assert splitArray.length > 4 : "Following line lacks a column: " + data[i];
after :
splitArray = data[i].split("[*]");
It should tell you which line lacks the fifth column

Java getTime() returns null from formatted String

I have:
String stringDate = "2017-02-16T15:00:00Z"
I want to convert this into a Date and after it i want to be converted to Long. Here is my code:
private void normalizeDate(ContentValues values) {
// normalize the date value
if (values.containsKey(SmogContract.MeasurementEntry.COLUMN_FROM_DATE_TIME)) {
Date date = convertDateFromStringToDate(values.getAsString(SmogContract.MeasurementEntry.COLUMN_FROM_DATE_TIME));
long fromDateValue = date.getTime();
values.put(SmogContract.MeasurementEntry.COLUMN_FROM_DATE_TIME, SmogContract.normalizeDate(fromDateValue));
}
if (values.containsKey(SmogContract.MeasurementEntry.COLUMN_TILL_DATE_TIME)) {
long fromDateValue = values.getAsLong(SmogContract.MeasurementEntry.COLUMN_TILL_DATE_TIME);
values.put(SmogContract.MeasurementEntry.COLUMN_TILL_DATE_TIME, SmogContract.normalizeDate(fromDateValue));
}
}
private Date convertDateFromStringToDate(String stringDate){
DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");
format.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
Date convertedFromStringDate = null;
try {
convertedFromStringDate = format.parse(stringDate);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return convertedFromStringDate;
}
Here is the exception that i am getting:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'long java.lang.Long.longValue()' on a null object reference
at com.example.marcin.smog_mapa.data.SmogProvider.normalizeDate(SmogProvider.java:109)
at com.example.marcin.smog_mapa.data.SmogProvider.insert(SmogProvider.java:85)

at android.content.ContentProviderNative.onTransact(ContentProviderNative.java:163)
at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:453)
The format.parse(...) statement fails with a ParseException, leaving convertedFromStringDate at null.
Check your console for the stack trace and make sure stringDate has the correct format.
OK, so it was just an silly mistake in the method.
Here is it done correctly:
private void normalizeDate(ContentValues values) {
// normalize the date value
if (values.containsKey(SmogContract.MeasurementEntry.COLUMN_FROM_DATE_TIME)) {
Date date = convertDateFromStringToDate(values.getAsString(SmogContract.MeasurementEntry.COLUMN_FROM_DATE_TIME));
Log.d("ConvertedDate: ", String.valueOf(date.getTime()));
long fromDateValue = date.getTime();
values.put(SmogContract.MeasurementEntry.COLUMN_FROM_DATE_TIME, SmogContract.normalizeDate(fromDateValue));
}
if (values.containsKey(SmogContract.MeasurementEntry.COLUMN_TILL_DATE_TIME)) {
Date date = convertDateFromStringToDate(values.getAsString(SmogContract.MeasurementEntry.COLUMN_TILL_DATE_TIME));
Log.d("ConvertedDate: ", String.valueOf(date.getTime()));
long fromDateValue = date.getTime();
values.put(SmogContract.MeasurementEntry.COLUMN_TILL_DATE_TIME, SmogContract.normalizeDate(fromDateValue));
}
}
The problem come from
long fromDateValue = values.getAsLong(SmogContract.MeasurementEntry.COLUMN_TILL_DATE_TIME);
Where values is a ContentValues instance.
ContentValues.getAsLong return a null that you store in a long, so it call Long.longValue() leading to this NullPointerException
This is the risk with this auto-boxing / unboxing, if you have
Long wrap_long = null;
long l = wrap_long;
This will compile but will throw a NPE at runtime where
long l = null;
will never compile, for the same reason, a primitive value can't be null
It is good to check the Long value for null when you unbox it.

As the stack trace says, you're trying to call moveToFirst() on a null reference. locationCursor is the only object you're calling that method on, so it must be null.
The docs for query() say that it can return null, so you'll should null check that object, and you should also check your invocation of query() to try to understand why it's returning null.
Clearly, in your addLocation method, the locationCursor you get by calling Cursor locationCursor = mContext.getContentResolver().query(...) is null, which causes the crash when you call locationCursor.moveToFirst() just after that.
I suggest to check out this problem's accepted answer. The problem might be that the query is empty.
In any case, you should always check whether the Cursor is null before you apply methods to it, and deal with that case somehow by alerting the user.
The method could look like this:
long addLocation(String locationSetting, String cityName, double lat, double lon) {
long locationId;
// First, check if the location with this city name exists in the db
Cursor locationCursor = mContext.getContentResolver().query(
WeatherContract.LocationEntry.CONTENT_URI,
new String[]{WeatherContract.LocationEntry._ID},
WeatherContract.LocationEntry.COLUMN_LOCATION_SETTING + " = ?",
new String[]{locationSetting},
null);
if (locationCursor != null) {
if (locationCursor.moveToFirst()) {
int locationIdIndex = locationCursor.getColumnIndex(WeatherContract.LocationEntry._ID);
locationId = locationCursor.getLong(locationIdIndex);
locationCursor.close();
return locationId;
}
}
// Now that the content provider is set up, inserting rows of data is pretty simple.
// First create a ContentValues object to hold the data you want to insert.
ContentValues locationValues = new ContentValues();
// Then add the data, along with the corresponding name of the data type,
// so the content provider knows what kind of value is being inserted.
locationValues.put(WeatherContract.LocationEntry.COLUMN_CITY_NAME, cityName);
locationValues.put(WeatherContract.LocationEntry.COLUMN_LOCATION_SETTING, locationSetting);
locationValues.put(WeatherContract.LocationEntry.COLUMN_COORD_LAT, lat);
locationValues.put(WeatherContract.LocationEntry.COLUMN_COORD_LONG, lon);
// Finally, insert location data into the database.
Uri insertedUri = mContext.getContentResolver().insert(
WeatherContract.LocationEntry.CONTENT_URI,
locationValues
);
// The resulting URI contains the ID for the row. Extract the locationId from the Uri.
locationId = ContentUris.parseId(insertedUri);
locationCursor.close();
// Wait, that worked? Yes!
return locationId;
}

Null Pointer using SharedPreferences

I am passing and showing values from one activity to another activity, and making file name using those string like this:
AU_20140312_160107_65.jpg
AU - simple prefix
20140312_160107 - yyyyMMdd_HHmmss
6 - event_id (getting from LoginActivity.java)
5 - operative_id (getting from LoginActivity.java)
see my code below:
LoginActivity.java:
static SharedPreferences sharedprefs;
static String event_id, operative_id ;
sharedprefs = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences(
"com.example.app", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
Intent intent = getIntent();
event_id = intent.getStringExtra("event_id");
sharedprefs.edit().putString("EVENT_ID", event_id).commit();
operative_id = intent.getStringExtra("operative_id");
sharedprefs.edit().putString("OPERATIVE_ID", operative_id).commit();
CameraLauncherActivity.java:
static File getOutputMediaFile() {
String event_ID = LoginActivity.sharedprefs.getString("EVENT_ID", null);
Log.d("shared >>> eventID : ", event_ID);
String operative_ID = LoginActivity.sharedprefs.getString("OPERATIVE_ID", null);
Log.d("shared >>> operativeID : ", operative_ID);
timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss")
.format(new Date());
// file name
mediaFile = new File(LoginActivity.mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator
+ "AU_" + timeStamp + "_" + event_ID + operative_ID + ".jpg");
return mediaFile;
}
when launching first time, Log says:
shared >>> eventID :(29917): 12
shared >>> operativeID :(29917): 4
like you can see above, everything works fine, and getting eventID and operativeID using log as well
but once i will launch my app again, after closing it, and caputre image, then getting NPE and Log :

Instead of assigning the values directly to the variables event_id and operative_id store them in the db or preferences.
Instead of directly assigning like this this :
event_id = intent.getStringExtra("event_id");
operative_id = intent.getStringExtra("operative_id");
check the intent.getStringExtra("event_id") and intent.getStringExtra("operative_id") for null.
If null fetch from stored values.
If not null assign to variables and overwrite stored values with the new one for next time.
//Initialization
SharedPreferences _mypref = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("mypref", 0);
//store data in shared preferences
Editor editor = _mypref.edit();
//Storing boolean - true/false;
editor.putBoolean("key_name", true);
//Storing string
editor.putString("key_name", "string value");
//Storing integer
editor.putInt("key_name", "int value");
//Storing float
editor.putFloat("key_name", "float value");
//Storing long
editor.putLong("key_name", "long value");
//commit changes
editor.commit();
// retrive data
//getting String
_mypref .getString("key_name", null);
//getting Integer
_mypref .getInt("key_name", null);
//getting Float
_mypref .getFloat("key_name", null);
//getting Long
_mypref .getLong("key_name", null);
//getting boolean
_mypref.getBoolean("key_name", null);
//remove Data
editor.remove("name");
editor.commit();
//Clear all Data
editor.clear();
editor.commit();
