    <p>I'm trying to query my SQLite DB for all rows that have a particular "city" column.</p> <p>The following code iterates through a List of cities and creates a WHERE clause.</p> <pre><code>w = PlacesProvider.KEY_CITY + " IN " + "(" + "'" + PlacesSearch.currentCity.get(0) + "'"; for (int i = 1; i &lt; PlacesSearch.currentCity.size(); i++) { w = w + ", " + "'" + PlacesSearch.currentCity.get(i) + "'"; } w = w + ")"; //Result looks like "city IN ('city1', 'city2')" // Get ContentResolver ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver(); // Get Cursor Cursor c = cr.query(PlacesProvider.CONTENT_URI, null, w, null, null); </code></pre> <p>I've also tried this WHERE clause which gives the exact same result.</p> <pre><code>w = PlacesProvider.KEY_CITY + " = " + "'" + PlacesSearch.currentCity.get(0) + "'"; for (int i = 1; i &lt; PlacesSearch.currentCity.size(); i++) { w = w + " OR " + PlacesProvider.KEY_CITY + " = " + "'" + PlacesSearch.currentCity.get(i) + "'"; } //Result looks like "city = 'city1' OR city = city2 OR city = city3" </code></pre> <p>Then I iterate through the results and use the data:</p> <pre><code>if (c.moveToFirst()) { do { //Do some stuff } while (c.moveToNext()); } </code></pre> <p>The problem is that the query only returns 1 row from each city. If I leave the field null there are plenty of results in each city so I know there are more stored in the DB.</p> <p>What is wrong here? It's my first time using SQL.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Update:</p> <pre><code>"city IN ('Victoria', 'Saanich', 'Oak Bay')" "city='Victoria' OR city='Oak Bay' OR city='Saanich'" </code></pre> <p>These are the values of w I've tried.</p> <p>Update 2:</p> <pre><code>SELECT * FROM coffeeshops WHERE city = 'Victoria' UNION SELECT * FROM coffeeshops WHERE city = 'Oak Bay' UNION SELECT * FROM coffeeshops WHERE city = 'Saanich' </code></pre> <p>I've used rawQuery as suggested and constructed the above statement. These changes aren't reflected in the code above. There are no errors when I run it but the result is the same. I tried using UNION instead and I still get only 1 row for each city. I'm really at a loss here.</p>

    1. COHave you tried it with a `dbobject`.`rawQuery("SELECT yourthings FROM yourdb WHERE yourwhereclause")` instead of the structured one? With SQLite I've had the most success with this.

    3. COTry grabbing and posting the generated sql from your code (either through the Log or debugging) - it may help.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
