How to insert Arraylist into sqlite in Android ?

Question

I want to insert Arraylist into my sqlite without same value in anggota coloumn that have same id as below :

helper=new DBSpaj(getActivity());
    for (int i=0; i<ListKeluargaPP.size();i++)  {
    helper.insertTableMarital(
            a,
            ListKeluargaPP.get(i).getAnggota_pp(),
            ListKeluargaPP.get(i).getNama_Anggota_pp(),
            ListKeluargaPP.get(i).getTtl_Anggota_pp()

);

This is my insert code :

public void insertTableMarital(
        String master_id,
        String anggota,
        String nama,
        String ttl
        ) 
{
String selectQuery = "SELECT master_id,anggota FROM table_marital " +
        "where master_id='"+Menu_SPPAJ.getX()+"'";
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
if (cursor.equals(null)){
    ContentValues cv=new ContentValues();
    cv.put("master_id",  master_id);
    cv.put("anggota", anggota);
    cv.put("nama", nama);
    cv.put("ttl", ttl);
    getWritableDatabase().insert("table_marital",null, cv);
}
    if (cursor.getString(1)!=PemegangPolis.getStrAnggota()){
    ContentValues cv=new ContentValues();
    cv.put("master_id",  master_id);
    cv.put("anggota", anggota);
    cv.put("nama", nama);
    cv.put("ttl", ttl);
    getWritableDatabase().insert("table_marital",null, cv);
    }else {
        System.out.println("udah ada");
    }
        }   

I got errors when I want to save it, and the logcat said as below :

Answer 1

I have solve my problem, put all cursor.getString(1) in List and then check it one by one with this code :

public void insertTableMarital(
        String master_id,
        String anggota,
        String nama,
        String ttl
        ) 
{
    List<String> test= new ArrayList<String>();
String selectQuery = "SELECT master_id,anggota FROM table_marital " +
        "where master_id='"+Menu_SPPAJ.getX()+"'";
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
if(cursor.getCount()>0){
    cursor.moveToPosition(cursor.getCount() - 1);
    if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
        do {
            test.add(cursor.getString(1));
        } while (cursor.moveToNext());
    } 
        Log.i("TES LAIN", PemegangPolis.getStrAnggota());
    if (!(test.contains(PemegangPolis.getStrAnggota()))){
    ContentValues cv=new ContentValues();
    cv.put("master_id",  master_id);
    cv.put("anggota", anggota);
    cv.put("nama", nama);
    cv.put("ttl", ttl);
    getWritableDatabase().insert("table_marital",null, cv);
    }
    else {
        System.out.println("udah ada");
    }

        }   
else {
    ContentValues cv=new ContentValues();
    cv.put("master_id",  master_id);
    cv.put("anggota", anggota);
    cv.put("nama", nama);
    cv.put("ttl", ttl);
    getWritableDatabase().insert("table_marital",null, cv);
}
}

You need to call cursor.moveToFirst() before you are able to use it, at the moment it is pointing to before the first (if any) entry
