Question

I am trying to get user by his name like that:

public Cursor GetUser(String username)
{
    return m_dataBase.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = \' ? \'", new String[] { username });
}

But then I got an exception “bind or column index out of range”. What is wrong in my code?

Answer 1

You are trying to use a parameter, but such parameters never need to be quoted.
Your query actually searches for a user named “?” (with spaces).

Just use "SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = ?".
