Question

i am working on an android database application and have fired query like this

public Cursor strok(String holid, String gameId2) throws SQLException  {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            try{



                abc = db.rawQuery("select MAX(strokeNo) from extended where "
                         + " holeId = " + holid + "  and " + " courseId = " + gameId2+";"
                          ,null);

                    }

                catch(Exception e)

                       {

                          Log.e("ERROR OF HOLE ID IS ",  e.toString());
                           e.printStackTrace();

                        }

                        System.out.println("hello " + abc);

                return abc;
        }

and receiving in the activity like this

  Cursor cursor = db.strok(HoleIds.get(n),gameId);

                    System.out.println("after query ");

                    cursor.moveToFirst();

                startManagingCursor(cursor);

                System.out.println("the recived value is " +cursor);

        String maxs = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("strokeNo"));
                    System.out.println("the recived value is " +maxs);

but it is giving an error which i have not been able to find it out

the log cat is

i want to know where the error is and how to remove it

Answer 1

 abc = db.rawQuery("select MAX(strokeNo) from extended where "
                         + " holeId = " + holid + "  and " + " courseId = " + gameId2+";"
                          ,null);

when it comes to where clause in Sql, you should know String must be surrounded by ‘.

abc = db.rawQuery("select MAX(strokeNo) from extended where "
                         + " holeId = '" + holid + "'  and " + " courseId = '" + gameId2+"';"
                          ,null);

EDITED:

As in your sql query you had select only one field so cursor will have only one field

String maxs = cursor.getString(0);
