Question

I want to return the rows in my database that have the attribute in one of the fields equal to the parameter to the method. My code is:

    public Cursor fetchStatus(String status){
    Cursor mCursor =  

            mDb.query(DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {KEY_COMPANY, KEY_POSITION, KEY_NOTES, KEY_WAGE, KEY_STATUS}, 
                    KEY_STATUS+ "= "+status, null, null, null, null)
            ;
    if(mCursor!=null) mCursor.moveToFirst();
    return mCursor;
}

I want to return the KEY_COMPANY, KEY_POSITION, KEY_NOTES, KEY_WAGE and KEY_STATUS columns where the KEY_STATUS is equal to the parameter ‘status’

Perhaps you may try something like this:

public object GetValues (string status)
{
   string query = "SELECT KEY_COMPANY, KEY_POSITION, KEY_NOTES, KEY_WAGE,KEY_STATUS 
   FROM DATABASE_TABLE 
   WHERE KEY_STATUS = "'" +status+ "'" " ;

   dbcomands part...

   List<object> =  execute db comand....
}

The error you specified in your comment might be caused by the lack of ‘ ‘ in you query. Just a thought.
