What problem do you get when deleting?

You cannot control record IDs. First record you add is "1". Second is "2" and so on. If you delete a record, that ID disappears, and will not be used again. So, if you delete record ID "3", your records will be 1, 2, 4, 5 (no more "3"). Next you add will be "6" (it will not use "3" again).

When working with RecordStores, avoid keeping the recordstore open. Open it, use it, close it.

public void doRecordStoreWork() throws RecordStoreException { 
    RecordStore rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore(RECORD_STORE_NAME, true); 
    try { 
        // add, update or delete records 
    } finally { 
        rs.closeRecordStore(); 
    } 
} 

The close() is in a finally{}, so that the record store is closed no matter what happens. If you do not close the record store properly, you may lose data.

getNumRecords() tells you the number of records in the store. getNextRecordID() tells you the ID that will be given to the next record you add. These methods can return completely different values. When you delete a record, NumRecords goes down by one. NextRecordID does not change.

You can see if a record ID is valid, by calling getRecord(), and catching the InvalidRecordIDException. This is a clumsy technique, but it is reliable.

You can also use the enumerateRecords() method, to scan through records without having to know the IDs.

However:

I recommend against updating and deleting records in recordstores. Some devices can corrupt the recordstore if there are may set/add/delete Record()s.

One technique is to read all the data, delete the recordstore, and create it again with the correct data.

Cheers,
Graham.

Hey buddy If u directly delete record from Rms ..it wil always give problem...i did too much R&D on Rms...So Best Way Is that...firstly Open record Store
and get All Data From Record Store and put it in ...Some VEctor...and delete ur database

Then Delete the record which u wana delete from vector....
and then Create New RecordStore with same name u created before and put all the vector data in ur recordstore
this is the best example for deleting database..............

Hope this wil work......

You need to create your record structure in such a way, that you can easily parse the date out of the record - then - Open the RecordStore, Read all records 1-by-1, Parse and Check if the date is 3 dec - store the records id in a vector called to_delete. Once you pass thu all the records... then delete all record ids stored in to_delete vector.

[AnorEnaj2330]

this is my code

try {
re = addrBook.enumerateRecords(null, null, true);
} catch (RecordStoreNotOpenException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}

int rid=0;


try {
while (re.hasNextElement()) {
rid=re.nextRecordId();
try {
addrBook.deleteRecord(rid);
} catch (RecordStoreNotOpenException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvalidRecordIDException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (RecordStoreException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
} catch (InvalidRecordIDException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();

}



it seems like when i save the record from textfield it will show to a list menu
theres a mainscreen that will list all the data that save in registration ..


then when i open a menu list i can see the data that i saved but i
i want to have automatically deletion after 1 week all old records will delete
and the new one for the day will remain..


can you please give me some idea or code

thanksss

If you want to delete records by date, you simply have to extend the records to store a date field too. Then you can provide a RecordFilter picking the 1+ week old entries only.

i have my date in my recordstore then i want to delete it by date.. can you please give me some codes i need it tomorrow morning thanks,,,
i want to delete it automatically..

thanks in regard..

How do you assemble and store the record?

[AnorEnaj2330]

i store data using recordstore.
and this is my code


this is one of the example of data in my recordstore


Date Savedecember 3,2012
Lastname:Takashi
Firstname:Limbell
Nickname:Bell
Birthday:1987/12/01
Address:Tokyo,Japan

This is my code:

try {
re = addrBook.enumerateRecords(null, null, true);
} catch (RecordStoreNotOpenException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}

int rid=0;


try {
while (re.hasNextElement()) {
rid=re.nextRecordId();
try {
addrBook.deleteRecord(rid);
} catch (RecordStoreNotOpenException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvalidRecordIDException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (RecordStoreException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
} catch (InvalidRecordIDException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();

}


something like that all i want is to save record and to automatic deleted
but when i save the record and open my saving data ive seen it
but when i existed and open it again it fading away ...

can you please help me to save the record then it will automatically deleted when for the first week..

Thanks in regard..
God Bless !!

The funny thing is that date-based selection is exactly the example which the Java documentation uses. http://www.developer.nokia.com/Resou...ordFilter.html mentions a hypothetical "DateRecordFilter" class, however if you search for it with Google, you will find actual example implementations:

import java.io.*;
import javax.microedition.rms.*;

public class DateRecordFilter implements RecordFilter {
  long criterionDate;

  DateRecordFilter(long criterionDate) {this.criterionDate = criterionDate;}

  public boolean matches(byte[] candidate) {
    try {
      DataInputStream din = new DataInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(candidate));
      din.reset();
      if (din.readLong() >=criterionDate) return true;
    } catch (Exception e) {}
    return false;
  }
}

(picked from http://www.codeforge.com/read/74567/...ter.java__html)
This code snippet assumes that your record starts with with the date field, stored as a 8-byte long, exactly what Date.getTime provides. Of course you will have to calculate how many milliseconds are there in a week (168*3600*1000 or so), and subtract it from "now" when creating the filter.
And you will need to revert the comparison to "<".

and its like i want to set that the Data maximum of 10 records only how can i do that
and the 11th record will automatically delete?

When 11th record is added, do you want to delete the 1st one or you want to stop addition of records after 10 are added...?
