I have a db that is created like this…
public class DataBaseManager extends SQLiteOpenHelper{
Context mContext;
private static final String TAG = "DataBaseManager";
private static final int dbVersion = 1;// ++ for DB changes
static final String dbName ="LCInstore";
//Table Names
static final String allIcons = "Icons";
static final String allScreens = "Screens";
static final String isLookUp = "LookUp";
//Column Names - LookUp
static final String colIconID = "IconID";
static final String colScreenID = "ScreenID";
static final String colRank = "Rank"; // order
//Column Names shared by tables: Screens and Icons
static final String colID = "ID";
static final String colType = "Type";
static final String colName = "Name";
//Column Names - Icons
static final String colImage = "Image";
static final String colLabel = "Label";
static final String colIntent = "Intent";
static final String colIParams = "Params";
public DataBaseManager(Context context) {
super(context, dbName, null, dbVersion);
mContext = context;
Log.v(TAG, "Initaited");
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.v(TAG, "on create called");
// Create Icon Table if does not exist
db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE "+ allIcons +"" +

}
@Override

}
you’ll notice that one table, ‘allScreens’ or “Screens” has one row that in the Name column i am putting “DR_Home”
i do a query later to find out the value of the ID column of that row using this method and passing DR_Home to it:
public int getScreenID(String name){
SQLiteDatabase db=this.getReadableDatabase();
int sID;
String selectQuery = "SELECT "+colID+ " FROM " + allScreens + " WHERE " + colName + "=" +name;
Cursor c = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
sID = c.getInt(0);
c.close();
return sID;
}
should return the value of the ID column but i am getting an error:
03-22 06:34:35.830: E/AndroidRuntime(29864): Caused by: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: no such column: DR_Home: , while compiling: select * from Screens WHERE Name=DR_Home
No such Column? im not asking for a column called DR_Home i am asking for the value of the ID column in the row where the Name column = DR_home.. at least thats what i thought.. i have messed up the syntax somewhere.. please help
Your query is wrong, as
WHERE column = stringwill not work.Use
?which will be replaced by the secondrawQuery()parameter. Strongly recommended.Not recommended:
WHERE column = "string"
