set boolean value in sqlite android - android-sqlite

Question

I have column which is supposed to contain the true and false value in db. I understand that they should be in form of 0 and 1. I have an int column "status" but it always returns zero.
#Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
String create_table = "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_NAME + "( "
+ "ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY ,"
+ VALUE + " TEXT NOT NULL, "
+ STATUS + " INTEGER NOT NULL)";
db.execSQL(create_table);
}
public int getStatus(String _id,int status)
{
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT " + STATUS + " FROM "
+TABLE_NAME+" WHERE " + _ID +" =? " , new String[] {_id});
if(cursor.moveToFirst()){
return cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(STATUS));
} else {
return 0;
}
}
I need to set to true in the case below but item_status returns zero everytime. I checked the db and there is NULL in the whole status column.
if (success) {
status = 1;
int item_status = db.getStatus(fetchId(),status);
Toast.makeText(this, " item_status " + item_status , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
