Question

i have a budget application and while im trying to get infromation out of my SQLite database i keep getting IllegalStateExpeaction error and i cant find out why. here is my code its at line Memos.add(i.getString(1)); that the error happens

public List<String> getMemo(List<String> expeances) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            List<String> Memos = new ArrayList<String>();
            for(String exp: expeances)
            {
                Cursor i = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE4, new String[]{KEY_MEMO},KEY_DATE+" = '"+exp+"'", null, null, null, null,null);

                if(i.getCount()>0)
                {
                    if(i.moveToFirst())
                    {
                        do 
                        {
                            Memos.add(i.getString(1));
                        } 
                        while (i.moveToNext());
                    }
                }
            }

            if (Memos.size()>0)
            {
                return Memos;
            }
            else
            {
                return null;

Answer 1

Your Cursor projection has only one column KEY_MEMO

but you are trying to access second column with

i.getString(1)

use

i.getString(0)

instead
