Question

In my program, I have an SQLite that stores GPS coordinates for google maps in my application.
I try to retrieve the latitude and longitude and store them in a arrayList, but the program throws indexOutOfBoundsException when I run the program. I vaguely understand that this means there’s nothing in the arrayList when I try to retrieve a item from it, but please correct me if I’m wrong.

The raw query in class “DatabaseHandler.class”

    public Cursor getLatLng(){
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
    String query = ("SELECT * FROM " + TABLE_CARCOORD + " WHERE name = " + CAR_KEY_NAME);
    Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(query, null);
    return cursor;

}

Class “UserFunction.class”

    public ArrayList<String> getCoords(Context context, String lat, String lng) {
    DatabaseHandler db = new DatabaseHandler(context);
    Cursor cursor = db.getLatLng();
    ArrayList<String> cordarr = new ArrayList<String>();
    if (cursor.moveToFirst()){
        lat = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("lat"));
        lng = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("lng"));
        cordarr.add(lat);
        cordarr.add(lng);
    }
cursor.close();
db.close();
return cordarr;
}

map.class

    UserFunctions userFunc = new UserFunctions();
    ArrayList<String> cordarr = new ArrayList<String>();
    cordarr = userFunc.getCoords(getApplicationContext(), Lat1, Lng1);
    Lat1 = cordarr.get(0);
    Lng1 = cordarr.get(1);
    lat = goDouble(Lat1);
    lng  = goDouble(Lng1);
    LatLng sala = new LatLng(lat, lng);

Function that takes strings and convert to double for use in googlemaps

    public Double goDouble(String Latlng) {
    Double goDouble = Double.parseDouble(Latlng);
    return goDouble;
}

You should have null check here,

    public ArrayList<String> getCoords(Context context, String lat, String lng) {
        DatabaseHandler db = new DatabaseHandler(context);
        Cursor cursor = db.getLatLng();
        if (cursor !null && cursor.moveToFirst()){
              ArrayList<String> cordarr = new ArrayList<String>();
            lat = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("lat"));
            lng = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("lng"));
            cordarr.add(lat);
            cordarr.add(lng);
            return cordarr;
        }
    cursor.close();
    db.close();
    return null;
    }

and here too,

    UserFunctions userFunc = new UserFunctions();
    ArrayList<String> cordarr = new ArrayList<String>();
    cordarr = userFunc.getCoords(getApplicationContext(), Lat1, Lng1);
    if(cordarr != null && cordarr.size() > 1) {
    Log.d("LOG","have got lat long to show.")
    Lat1 = cordarr.get(0);
    Lng1 = cordarr.get(1);
    lat = goDouble(Lat1);
    lng  = goDouble(Lng1);
    LatLng sala = new LatLng(lat, lng); 
    } else {
        Log.d("LOG","no lat long found")
    }

will u try this and let me see what logs u are getting
