I’m a beginner on android developemment and I follow tutorials of thenewboston website for learning. But I don’t see why the code doesn’t work there, when I check on the creation of my database I see nothing strange. Can you help me please? I will be glad to understand the mistakes and continue my learning on android developement.

When I launch my avd and i click on update i have “finnaly” “good” but there is also an error that is logged. And when I click on view to see my data, A dialog pops with message “Unfortunately, SQLiteExample has stopped”

Sorry for the long post but like i’m a begginner I give you all the code that i can give you.

SQLiteExample.java

package exercice.thenewboston;

Answer to SAM
Thanks for your reply Sam.
So i put the DATABASE_VERSION = 2; and 20

@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db)
{
 db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXITS " + DATABASE_TABLE);  // same error if i remove this line

db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE peopleTable ( _id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, persons_name TEXT NOT NULL, persons_hotness TEXT NOT NULL);");
}

message error on android when i click on update “Catch. android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException:Near “EXITS”:syntax error:while compiling : DROP Table if EXITS peopleTable”

    Your create statement looks fine, so I would guess that have you changed you table’s design at some point. Try dropping the old tables and creating the new schema. The easiest way to do this is to upgrade your DATABASE_VERSION to 2.
