How to update BuddyPress xprofile fields programmatically?

Question

I update user info using wp_update_user function. I also need to update the table wp_bp_xprofile_data. Is there any function, where I can update data on wp_bp_xprofile_data table?

Answer 1

This is how I would update a field named 'Address':

function updateAddress() {

    global $current_user;
    get_currentuserinfo();

    $newAddress = '123 New Street';

    xprofile_set_field_data('Address', $current_user->id,  $newAddress);

}
