Database

• database works (kinda)• to access database in shell

go to androids tool directory cd data/data cd purdue.pride (project name) cd databases sqlite3 pride (pride is database’s name) .tables

• feed is stored, but messed up

title and descriptions are being appended to each other

Changed code in RSSHandler => should work now

• need to rewrite database class used code from online tutorial, however it’s an older API can’t detect when to create new table in database DbAdapter class

public class PrideDB {

private static final String FEEDS_TABLE = "feeds"; private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "pride";

private static SQLiteDatabase db; public PrideDB(Context ctx) {

db = ctx.openOrCreateDatabase(DATABASE_NAME, 0, null); //API change

}
