I created a database with a table named flagTable, this table only has two fields, which are id(auto increment) and an integer field. Next, in my program, I have a button that will trigger a thread to start. When the thread is starting, it constantly retrieve data from database, and check for the for the value, if the value is equal to one then it will trigger another new Thread, something like this:
private class statusOfStrummingInAnotherDevice extends Thread {
int value;
public void run() {
try{
while(true){
try{
if(flagCursor == null){
flagCursor = cdb1.getFlagAll();
}
}catch(Exception e){break;}
try{
Log.i("MAIN3ACTIVITY","getting status");
int size = cdb1.getSize(flagCursor);
Log.i("MAIN3ACTIVITY","SIZE is" + String.valueOf(xyz));
for(int i = 0 ; i < size ; i++){
flagCursor.moveToPosition(i);
Log.i("MAIN3ACTIVITY","getting status jkasdfasdf");
value = cdb1.getFlag();
if(value == 1){
Log.i("FLAGCURSOR=====>>>>","Succesful");
releasingNotes = new ReleasingNotes(IntendedChord);
releasingNotes.start();
//break;
}
cdb1.updateFlag(0);
Log.i("FLAGCURSOR=====>>>>",String.valueOf(value));
}
flagCursor = null;
}catch(Exception e){break;}
Log.i("MAIN3ACTIVITY","thread is sleeping");
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
break;
}
}
}catch(Exception e){
}
}
}
In the meantime, the data that were retrieved from the database is using this function:
public Cursor getFlagAll(){
return getReadableDatabase().rawQuery(
"SELECT _ID, flag from flagTable", null);
}
And, the data that were updated to the database through this method:
public int updateFlag(int i) {
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
contentValues.put("flag",i);
return db.update("flagTable" , contentValues , "_ID" + "= ?",new String[]{String.valueOf(1)});
}
Now, above codes will give no error, however, the data that were retrieved from the database is always 1, it keeps trigger a new function. In my above codes, I stated if the value is equal to 1, then the current thread will trigger a new thread to start, When its finished, the program will update the current data to 0. So that, the next round of the infinite loop can stop triggering new thread until a the conditon is met. What is problem overhere? did my codes really updated the new value? or I need to referesh the database every time I updated a new value.
