Once again, assume you have a variable named 'database'. Update the database using the 'values' and 'clause' variables and "PETS_TABLE" as the table name. Use the documentation for help on how to call the appropriate method to update this data.
I am not sure what is wrong.
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("name", "Rover");
values.put("type", "cat");
values.put("breed", "grumpy");
String clause = String.format("%s=%s", "name", "Rover");
public void update(String table,
ContentValues values,
String whereClause,
String[] whereArgs) { database.update(SQLiteHelper.PETS_TABLE, updateAnnotations,
String.format("%s=%d", BaseColumns._ID, annotation.getId()), null); }

First thing you don't need to put the logic inside a method. Secondly, the table name is "PETS_TABLE" and they did not state that SQLiteHelper.PETS_TABLE = "PETS_TABLE".
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/sqlite/SQLiteDatabase.html#update(java.lang.String, android.content.ContentValues, java.lang.String, java.lang.String[])
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("name", "Rover");
values.put("type", "cat");
values.put("breed", "grumpy");
String clause = String.format("%s=%s", "name", "Rover");
/* Add your code here!
* Assume you already have a variable named 'database'.
*/
database.update("PETS_TABLE",values,clause,null);
if you don't feel confident about what you learned in the videos, I urge you to watch them again or read and understand the code.
Best of luck and happy coding ! :-) Adam
