What do you mean by "remove the quotes"? I store phone numbers on db and it works fine without dealing with adding quotes, then removing them. When I add/update stuff I use:
contentValues.put(TableKeys.PHONE_NUMBER, phoneNumber); and when retrieving: String phoneNumber = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(TableKeys.PHONE_NUMBER)); Uhm...maybe I misunderstood the whole problem here..:S:S Tra l'altro ciaoo!! ;) Yuvi On Sun, Jul 25, 2010 at 10:05 AM, Federico Paolinelli <fedep...@gmail.com>wrote: > Just to add more information to anybody who is interested in this > topic, it is necessary to remove the quotes if you need the original > data. > > On 25 Lug, 09:17, Federico Paolinelli <fedep...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks a lot.
