How to delete all records from table in sqlite with Android?

Question

My app has two buttons, the first button is for deleting record on user input and the second button is for deleting all records. But when I want to delete data it shows the message
"Your application has been forcefully stopped".

Please check my code and give me some suggestion.

public void deleteAll()
{
    //SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
   // db.delete(TABLE_NAME,null,null);
    //db.execSQL("delete * from"+ TABLE_NAME);
    db.execSQL("TRUNCATE table" + TABLE_NAME);
    db.close();
}

and

public void delete(String id)
{
    String[] args={id};
    getWritableDatabase().delete("texts", "_ID=?", args);
}

But it shows the following Log cat error.

Answer 1

You missed a space: db.execSQL("delete * from " + TABLE_NAME);

Also there is no need to even include *, the correct query is:

db.execSQL("delete from "+ TABLE_NAME);
