Code DB_Adapter

public class DB_Adapter {
public static final String DATE="date";
public static final String COST = "cost";
public static final String SALES = "sales";
public static final String NUMBER = "number";
public static final String PROFIT = "profit";
public static final String DB_NAME = "SAIGONFLEAMARKET";
public static final String DB_TABLE = "shipment";
public static final String MONTH="month";
public static final String YEAR="year";
public static final int DB_VERSION = 2;
private final Context mContext;
private SQLiteDatabase mDB;
private DBHelper mDBHelper;

public DB_Adapter(Context c) {
    mContext = c;
}

private static class DBHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper
{

    public DBHelper(Context context, String name, CursorFactory factory,
            int version) {
        super(context, name, factory, version);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    // Khởi tạo một bảng trong database mang tên Saigonfleamarket
    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        try
        {
            db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE shipment (number integer PRIMARY KEY autoincrement, date text, cost float, sales float, profit float, month text, year text );");
        } catch (SQLException ex)
        {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    // Tạo một database mới
    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Log.i("DBAdapter", "Updating database...");
        db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS shipment");
        onCreate(db);
    }
}

// Mở một kết nối đến database
public DB_Adapter openDB()
{
    mDBHelper = new DBHelper(mContext, DB_NAME, null, DB_VERSION);
    mDB = mDBHelper.getWritableDatabase();
    return this;
}

// sau khi hoàn thành, đóng database lại
public void closeDB()
{
    mDBHelper.close();
}

public Cursor Sum(String _month, String _year)

{
    String sql="select Sum (profit) from shipment where month ='"+_month+"' AND year='"+ _year+"'";
    Cursor mCursor = mDB.rawQuery(sql, null);
    int test = mCursor.getCount();
    if (test != 0)
    {
        mCursor.moveToFirst();
    }

    return mCursor;

Answer 1

use this Method instead of old one.

public Cursor Sum(String _month, String _year)

{
    String sql="select Sum(profit) from shipment where month =? AND year=?";
    Cursor mCursor = mDB.rawQuery(sql, new String[] { _month ,_year});
    int test = mCursor.getCount();
    if (test != 0)
    {
        mCursor.moveToFirst();
    }

    return mCursor;
}
