Question

having problem with this line of code, compiler error on getInt method. because the variable KEY_HITS is a String and not an int. How do I fix this problem?

 total = total + c.getInt(KEY_HITS);

here is more of the code;

    public static final String KEY_ROWID="_id";
    public static final String KEY_NAME="persons_name";
    public static final String KEY_HITS="persons_hits";

 public int getTotal() {

String[] columns = new String[] { KEY_ROWID, KEY_NAME, KEY_HITS };
Cursor c = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE, columns, null, null, null,
        null, null);
int total = 0;

for (c.moveToFirst(); !c.isAfterLast(); c.moveToNext()) {
    total = total + c.getInt(KEY_HITS);
}
return total;
 }

Do what errors says because the variable KEY_HITS is a String and not an int
you need to pass integer parameter in getInt(). You can get column’s index by getColumnIndex()

total = total + c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex(KEY_HITS));
