String updateQuery ="INSERT INTO MAAccounts(userId, accountId, accountType, accountName, parentAccountId, currencyCode, isTransactionDefaultStatusOpen, currentBalance, monthlyBudget, createdOn, updatedOn) VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)"; 
        String[] valVars = { 
                stringToDB(account.userId),
                integerToDB(account.accountId).toString(),
                integerToDB(account.accountType.getValue()).toString(),
                stringToDB(account.accountName),
                (integerToDB(account.parentAccountId) != null ? integerToDB(account.parentAccountId).toString() : null),
                stringToDB(account.currencyCode),
                boolToDB(account.isTransactionDefaultStatusOpen).toString(),
                CurrencyToDB(account.currentBalance).toString(),
                CurrencyToDB(account.monthlyBudget).toString(),
                dateToDB(now),
                "false"};

        Cursor c = mDb.rawQuery(updateQuery, valVars);

Guys i am getting error , java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: the bind value at index 4 is null

Any help will be appreciated

Answer 1

This error comes when you are firing some query with where clause or any other condition with value as null.

Example- select * from tbl_name where _id = null

where as it should be

select * from tbl_name where _id = some_id

So debug and check that when your query is fired you have all your values that are used in building your query.

In your case it seems that this line,

(integerToDB(account.parentAccountId) != null ? 
                          integerToDB(account.parentAccountId).toString() : null) 

is returning null so check this value.
