Try the below code-  mSQLiteDatabase   getWritableDatabase     To delete   database should be writable  int rowDeleted   mSQLiteDatabase delete TABLE NAME id                              new String    String valueOf id     mSQLiteDatabase close     This is very important once database operation is done  if rowDeleted    0         delete success    else         delete failed

You can try like this      ---deletes a particular title--- public boolean deleteTitle String name         return db delete DATABASE TABLE  KEY NAME         name  null   gt  0      or  public boolean deleteTitle String name         return db delete DATABASE TABLE  KEY NAME         new String   name    gt  0

You can do something like this  sharing my working code snippet  Make sure query is like this     DELETE FROM   tableName WHERE                        KEY  NAME    parameterToMatch    public void removeSingleFeedback InputFeedback itemToDelete                  Open the database             SQLiteDatabase database   this getWritableDatabase                   Execute sql query to remove from database               NOTE  When removing by String in SQL  value must be enclosed with                database execSQL  DELETE FROM     TABLE FEEDBACKS     WHERE                         KEY CUSTMER NAME           itemToDelete getStrCustName                                 AND     KEY DESIGNATION           itemToDelete getStrCustDesignation                                 AND     KEY EMAIL           itemToDelete getStrCustEmail                                 AND     KEY CONTACT NO           itemToDelete getStrCustContactNo                                 AND     KEY MOBILE NO           itemToDelete getStrCustMobile                                 AND     KEY CLUSTER NAME           itemToDelete getStrClusterName                                 AND     KEY PRODUCT NAME           itemToDelete getStrProductName                                 AND     KEY INSTALL VERSION           itemToDelete getStrInstalledVersion                                 AND     KEY REQUIREMENTS           itemToDelete getStrRequirements                                 AND     KEY CHALLENGES           itemToDelete getStrChallenges                                 AND     KEY EXPANSION           itemToDelete getStrFutureExpansion                                 AND     KEY COMMENTS           itemToDelete getStrComments                                       Close the database             database close

Guys if above solutions don t work for you then try this one also because it worked for me   public boolean deleteRow String name         return db delete DATABASE TABLE  KEY NAME          name         null   gt  0

But the Accepted answer Not worked for me  I think String should be In SQL  strings must be quoted  So  in my case this worked for me against the accepted answer    database delete TABLE DAILY NOTES  WORK ENTRY CLUMN NAME    quot    quot    workEntry  quot   quot   null

This works perfectly   public boolean deleteSingleRow String rowId         return db delete DATABASE TABLE  KEY ROWID         rowId  null   gt  0      You can also refer to this example

Try like that may you get your solution  String table    beaconTable   String whereClause     id     String   whereArgs   new String     String valueOf row     db delete table  whereClause  whereArgs

Till i understand your question you want to put two conditions to select a row to be deleted for that you need to do    public void deleteEntry long row String key name           db delete DATABASE TABLE  KEY ROWID         row     and     KEY NAME         key name  null            if you just have key name to select a row you can ignore passing rowid here-row  and use         db delete DATABASE TABLE  KEY NAME         key name  null

if you are using SQLiteDatabase   then there is a delete method  Definition of Delete   int delete  String table  String whereClause  String   whereArgs    Example Implementation   Now we can write a method called delete with argument as name  public void delete String value        db delete DATABASE TABLE  KEY NAME         new String   String valueOf value         if you want to delete all records then just pass null to the above method   public void delete         db delete DATABASE TABLE  null  null       Source Of Information

To delete rows from a table  you need to provide selection criteria that identify the rows to the delete   method  The mechanism works the same as the selection arguments to the query   method  It divides the selection specification into a selection clause where clause  and selection arguments            SQLiteDatabase db    this getWritableDatabase            Define  where  part of query      String selection   Contract COLUMN COMPANY ID         and                            Contract CLOUMN TYPE                Specify arguments in placeholder order      String   selectionArgs     cid mode           Issue SQL statement      int deletedRows   db delete Contract TABLE NAME                          selection  selectionArgs       return deletedRows    no of rows deleted    The return value for the delete   method indicates the number of rows that were deleted from the database

Guys this is a generic method you can use for all your tables  Worked perfectly in my case   public void deleteRowFromTable String tableName  String columnName  String keyValue        String whereClause   columnName             String   whereArgs   new String   String valueOf keyValue        yourDatabase delete tableName  whereClause  whereArgs

it s better to use whereargs too   db delete  tablename   id   and name    new String    1   jack       this is like useing this command   delete from tablename where id  1  and name   jack    and using delete function in such way is good because it removes sql injections
