Android Question String Functions for inovice number is not working as I expect[SOLVED]

Daniel44 · Sep 16, 2021

Hi all. I am working on a system in which I am generating a unique number for invoices. I know there are scripts for unique values but they do not work for me for an invoice. I need the invoice number to be easy to read. The following script when it gets to 10 adds a 0 to the right and it is not what I expect

My script:

B4X:

Sub NUMEROPEDIDO
  
    OpSql.Initialize
    Dim sf As StringFunctions
    sf.Initialize
    DBCursor = OpSql.SQL1.ExecQuery("SELECT rowid, * FROM pedidos ORDER BY rowid DESC ") 'contacts_table = table name in the database
    If DBCursor.RowCount > 0 Then
        DBCursor.Position = 0
        NP = sf.Right("NP-000" & sf.Trim(sf.Val(sf.Right(DBCursor.GetString("rowid"), 13)) + 1), 13)
        Log("NUMERO DE PEDIDO : " & NP)
    Else
        NP = "NP-0001"
        Log("NUMERO DE PEDIDO : " & NP)
      
    End If
End Sub

what it shows:
NP-0009
NP-00010

what I expect:

NP-0009
NP-0010

As you can see I'm working SQLite and in my table I'm working with my table pedidos (orders) rowid. This script it works. It shows consecutive numbers as I need but the problem is when I get to ten invoices. The zeros to the left aren't used but adds number to the right instead.

I am using SDK 29 on Android 11. I have tried changing it to left stringfunction but it keeps showing the same thing. I don't know if with string functions is the most convenient or I should do it another way. Thank you in advance.

because it is empty it gives this error

My table has records. If I get a chance, I will delete all my records and test it with no records. I think I can make it work.

This will do it for you whether you have no records in the table or have records. When it gets to 10, it will show it as: NP-0010. When it gets to 112, it will show it as: NP-0112. When it gets to 1001, it shows it as: NP-1001, etc.

B4X:

Sub NUMEROPEDIDO
    Dim strID As String = SQL.ExecQuerySingleResult($"SELECT max(rowid) FROM pedidos"$)
    If strID=Null Then 
        strID = "NP-0001"
    Else
        strID = SQL.ExecQuerySingleResult($"SELECT 'NP-' || printf('%04i', max(rowid)+1) FROM pedidos"$)        
    End If
    Log(strID)
End Sub

Hey Mahares thank you I'll try that

It works! With or without data into the table it's working awesome. Thank you so much @Mahares !!!
