Get generated id after insert

If use ContentValues :

 DBHelper db =new DBHelper();// your dbHelper
 ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
  values.put("firstName","Ahmad");
 values.put("lastName","Aghazadeh");
 long insertedId= db.getSQLiteDatabase().insert("user", "", values) ;

If query exec use select last_insert_rowid()

String sql = "INSERT INTO [user](firstName,lastName) VALUES (\"Ahmad\",\"Aghazadeh\"); select last_insert_rowid()";
 DBHelper itemType =new DBHelper();// your dbHelper
 c = db.rawQuery(sql, null);
 if (c.moveToFirst())
    result = c.getLong(0);

If use Room

@Entity
class User {
    @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
    public int id;
    //...
}


@Dao
public interface UserDao{
    @Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)
    long insert(User user);

    // Insert multiple users
    @Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)
    long[] insert(User... user);
}

I checked the sources. insert method use sqlite3_last_insert_rowid function to return an id. According to the documentation: https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/last_insert_rowid.html The row id is the hidden column or a column of type INTEGER PRIMARY KEY if it's declared.

Each entry in most SQLite tables (except for WITHOUT ROWID tables) has a unique 64-bit signed integer key called the "rowid". The rowid is always available as an undeclared column named ROWID, OID, or _ROWID_ as long as those names are not also used by explicitly declared columns. If the table has a column of type INTEGER PRIMARY KEY then that column is another alias for the rowid.

So that is the default _ID column usually

The insert method returns the id of row just inserted or -1 if there was an error during insertion.

long id = db.insert(...);

where db is SQLiteDatabase.
