im trying to do a batch insert of about 700 floats. The method i'm using is below and as well as the content provider's bulkInsert. The issue is that when i put all the floating point values into the ContentValues nothing happens. What's a better way to insert those floating point values into the ContentValues object?
private void saveToDatabase( float[] tempValues )
{
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
// WM: TODO: add patient id and sensor type
for (float tempVal : tempValues){
values.put( DataTable.COLUMN_DATA, tempVal );
}
ContentValues[] cvArray = new ContentValues[1];
cvArray[0] = values;
ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver();
resolver.bulkInsert( HealthDevContentProvider.CONTENT_URI_DATA, cvArray);
public int bulkInsert(Uri uri, ContentValues[] values){
int numInserted = 0;
String table = null;
int uriType = sURIMatcher.match(uri);
switch (uriType) {
case RAWINPUT_TABLE:
table = RAWINPUT_TABLE_PATH;
break;
}
db.beginTransaction();
try {
for (ContentValues cv : values) {
long newID = db.insertOrThrow(table, null, cv);
if (newID <= 0) {
throw new SQLException("Failed to insert row into " + uri);
}
}
db.setTransactionSuccessful();
getContext().getContentResolver().notifyChange(uri, null);
numInserted = values.length;
} finally {
db.endTransaction();
}
return numInserted;
}
If you want each float to have it's own record in your database, you need an instance of ContentValues for each new record. Right now you have one instance of ContentValues and you are writing the same key to it (meaning you are writing over the value) 700 times.
