Question

PREF_NAME, PREF_STATUS – text

It gives me this error:

07-02 14:08:07.457: E/AndroidRuntime(17295): android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: near "?": syntax error: , while compiling: SELECT ? FROM ? WHERE ? = ?

The code I’m using is:

Cursor c = db.rawQuery("SELECT ? FROM ? WHERE ? = ?", new String[]{ PREF_STATUS,
   PREF_TABLE, PREF_NAME, assigned_pref_name });

According with the documentation, you only can put “?” on where clause:

public Cursor rawQuery (String sql, String[] selectionArgs)

Parameters
sql the SQL query. The SQL string must not be ; terminated
selectionArgs   You may include ?s in where clause in the query, which will be replaced by the values from selectionArgs. The values will be bound as Strings.
