Question

I am using INNER JOIN on two tables,table1 and table2, from my SQLite Database.
How do I access the results(columns of both tables) from the cursor? The two tables have 2 columns with same name.

        String query = SELECT * FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.id=table2.id WHERE name like '%c%';
        Cursor c = newDB.rawQuery(query, null);

Answer 1

You can specify column names instead of using ‘*’.

String query = SELECT table1.id AS ID,table2.column2 AS c2,...... FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.id=table2.id WHERE name like '%c%';

and then access using column name ID,c2 etc .

while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
  String c2 = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("c2"));
  int id = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("ID"));
  ..............
  .............
}
