Change a value in a column in sqlite

The below solution works for me for updating single row values:

public long fileHasBeenDownloaded(String fileName) 
{
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();

    long id = 0;

    try {
        ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
        cv.put(IFD_ISDOWNLOADED, 1);

        // The columns for the WHERE clause
        String selection = (IFD_FILENAME + " = ?");

        // The values for the WHERE clause
        String[] selectionArgs = {String.valueOf(InhalerFileDownload.fileName)};

        id = db.update(TABLE_INHALER_FILE_DOWNLOAD, cv, selection, selectionArgs);
    } 
    catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return id;
}

Easy solution:

String sql = "UPDATE "+TABLE_NAME +" SET " + ColumnName+ " = '"+newValue+"' WHERE "+Column+ " = "+rowId;

Better solution:

ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
cv.put(ColumnName, newValue);
db.update(TABLE_NAME, cv, Column + "= ?", new String[] {rowId});
