iOS Question (solved) RowID - 1 ?

[anOparator]

btnNx always stepped thru the db from first row to total row count (rs2), and continued to cycle.

' Works on it's own
Sub btnNx_Click
   rs2=sql1.ExecQuerySingleResult("Select COUNT(RowID) FROM table1")
   If RowID >= rs2 Then
       RowID = 0
       ReadBlobNx           ' The 2 ReadBlob subs differ only at (RowID + 1) for ReadBlobNx, and (RowID - 1) for ReadBlobPrevious
       Log(" ")
   Else
       ReadBlobNx
       Log(" ")
   End If
   RowID = RowID + 1
   Log("btnNx current Row = " & RowID)
End Sub

After testing lots of ways I'm still unable to repeatedly count from total row count (rs2), down to 1.

 ' cycles between 1 and 3
Sub btnPrev_Click
   rs2=sql1.ExecQuerySingleResult("Select COUNT(RowID) FROM table1")
'   If RowID <= 0 Then           ' crashes going from 1 to rs2(total row count)
   If RowID <= 1 Then           ' goes from 1 to 3, skips rs2(total row count)
       RowID = rs2
       ReadBlobPrevious           ' The 2 ReadBlob subs differ only at (RowID + 1) for ReadBlobNx, and (RowID - 1) for ReadBlobPrevious
       Log(" ")
   Else
       ReadBlobPrevious
       Log(" ")
   End If
   RowID = RowID - 1
   Log("btnPre current Row = " & RowID)
End Sub

What needs to be done for btnPrev_Click to countdown properly in B4I?
Thanks in advance.

I found this snippet here and have been trying to convert it to B4I using 'RowID' as the column name and 'table1' as the table name.

 'trying to get this Sub
Dim RowIDs As List
RowIDs.Initialize
Sub GetIDs
    Dim Curs As Cursor
    Dim i As Int
    RowIDs.Clear                  
    Curs = SQL1.ExecQuery("SELECT RowID FROM table1")
    For i = 0 To Curs.RowCount - 1
        Curs.Position = i
        RowIDs.Add(Curs.GetInt("ID"))
    Next
End Sub

 '  from this Sub,  which did not work fully
Sub btnPrev_Click
   rs2=sql1.ExecQuerySingleResult("Select COUNT(RowID) FROM table1")
'   If RowID <= 0 Then           ' crashes going from rs2(total row count) to 1
   If RowID <= 1 Then           ' counts down from 1 to 3, skips rs2 = 4(total row count)
       RowID = rs2                  ' rs2 is of type ResultSet
       ReadBlobPrevious
   Else              
       ReadBlobPrevious
   End If
   RowID = RowID - 1
   Log("btnPre current Row = " & RowID)
   Log(" ")
End Sub

' a most recent attempt
'error: can't parse list
Sub btnPrev3_Click
   Dim Curs As ResultSet
   Dim i As Int
   i = rs3
   RowIDs.Clear                                               ' NEW   difficulty
   Curs = sql1.ExecQuery("SELECT RowID FROM table1")
   For i = 0 To RowIDs - 1
'       Curs.Position = i
       RowIDs.Add(Curs.GetInt("i"))
   Next
End Sub

What would be the winning combination?
edit: I think I found it, but sleep first then test.

 Max = SQL1.ExecQuerySingleResult("SELECT max(Col1) FROM TableName")
Min = SQL1.ExecQuerySingleResult("SELECT min(Col1) FROM TableName")

Sounds like you are making things more complicated than they should be. What exactly are you trying to do?

First, the code snippet works only with B4A.
The Cursor object doesn't exist in B4i nor in B4J.
You should have a look at the B4X SQLiteDatabase booklet.
It icludes example projects doing what you want.

Yep , things were getting complicated. I was already repeatedly cycling thru a db with BLOB = BLOB + 1, but having probs doing BLOB = BLOB - 1.
And was trying to do it without using a RowIDList.
Basically I think I'm back on the right track after re-reading the SQLiteLight1 example.

Right, I recently started using ResultSet. I'm now focusing on the SQLiteLight1 example, changing one of the Text columns in to a BLOB column and shall use a RowIDList after 3 attempts to do without it.
Then I will do only reading articles, for a few days. There's a lot of new concepts I'm working with here and SpeedReading is not gonna help me.
Thanks.

Because there will be no insert/delete for the db I wanted to do without a RowIdList.
This cycles up and down thru the db. Does anyone see any bad practice in the code?

 Sub btnNx_Click
   Log(" RowID > ")
   If RowID >= maxRw Then
       RowID = minRw - 1
       ReadBlobNx
   Else
       ReadBlobNx
   End If
       RowID = RowID + 1
       Log(" ")
End Sub

 Sub btnPrev_Click
   Log(" RowID < ")
   If RowID <= minRw Then
       RowID = maxRw + 1
       ReadBlobPrevious
   Else
       ReadBlobPrevious
   End If
   RowID = RowID - 1
   Log(" ")
End Sub

Thanks in advance.
