I created a sample application using android sqlite database, my requirements are How can i use Sqlite database in my android activity? (kindly noitce this link). I used the following code to do this,

MainClass.java

public class MainClass extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

    Button NUM_INPUT;
    EditText enter_NUM;
    int number;
    DatabaseHandler db = new DatabaseHandler(this);

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.sai_answers_home);
        NUM_INPUT = (Button) findViewById(R.id.answerButton);
        enter_NUM = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.saiAnssersEditText);
        NUM_INPUT.setOnClickListener(this);

    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        if (v.getId() == R.id.answerButton) {
             number = Integer.parseInt(this.enter_NUM.getText().toString());
            // /System.out.println("EDITTEXTVALUE" + number);
            Log.d("Reading: ", "Reading all contacts..");
            List<Contact> contacts = db.getAllContacts(number);
            for (Contact cn : contacts) {
                String log = "Id: " + cn.getID() + " ,Name: " + cn.getName();
                // Writing Contacts to log
                Log.d("Name: ", log);
            }
            db.close();
        }
    }
}

answers.db

database image

When i execute this code i got Error, “android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: no such table: ANSWER: , while compiling: SELECT * FROM ANSWER WHERE ID= 3”. My exact requirement is, when click the Button in MainActivity class, the entered value is passed to database. Finally search into the database and return the corresponding values present in database. For example i entered 2 and click the button, from the database i will get “Orange” how can i achieve this. Thanks in advance.

    in the select query you have mentioned “SELECT * FROM ANSWER WHERE ID=”

    But you have to mention as ” “SELECT * FROM answer WHERE ID”

    Because table name is answer not ANSWER
