You should also consider [migrating](/jetpack/androidx/migrate) existing projects to AndroidX. To find the AndroidX class that maps to this deprecated class, see the AndroidX support library [class\n| mappings](/jetpack/androidx/migrate/class-mappings).\n\n\n`\npublic\n\nfinal\n\nclass\nDatabaseUtilsCompat\n`\n\n\n`\n\nextends Object\n\n\n`\n\n`\n\n\n`\n\n|---|-------------------------------------------------|\n| java.lang.Object ||\n| ↳ | android.support.v4.database.DatabaseUtilsCompat |\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n*** ** * ** ***\n\n\n**This class was deprecated\nin API level 27.1.0.** \n\nUse [DatabaseUtils](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/DatabaseUtils.html) directly.\n\nHelper for accessing features in [DatabaseUtils](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/DatabaseUtils.html).\n\nSummary\n-------\n\n| ### Public methods ||\n|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| ` static String[]` | ` `[appendSelectionArgs](/reference/android/support/v4/database/DatabaseUtilsCompat#appendSelectionArgs(java.lang.String[], java.lang.String[]))`(String[] originalValues, String[] newValues) ` *This method was deprecated in API level 27.1.0.
