Question

I have a query in my database like this:

Cursor c= ourDB.rawQuery("SELECT SUM(odometer) AS odometer FROM tripmileagetable WHERE car='abdul' AND date LIKE '2012-07%'", null);
        if(c.getCount()<=0){
            return 0;

        }else{

            int sum= c.getInt(0);
            Log.i("Sum of odometer", ""+sum);
            return sum;

        }

and its giving me this exception. If I write this in the else section:

int sum= c.getColumnIndex("odometer");
            Log.i("Sum of odometer", ""+sum);
            return sum;

then this returns 0, but when I put 0 it gives me the exception, I am unable to find out my fault. Can any one help?

Answer 1

You missed out c.moveToFirst(); that is why your cursor is giving exception as by default it points index -1.
