Question

The question is simple and to put it in just one line : ” The insert() function of SQLiteDatabase for Android tries to add the values in a random way “.

Meaning :

// Database creation sql statement
private static final String DATABASE_CREATE = "create table "
        + TABLE_NAME 
        +"( "
        + COLUMN_ID + " integer primary key autoincrement, "
        + COLUMN_LATITUDE + "integer,"
        + COLUMN_LONGTITUDE + "integer,"
        + COLUMN_TITLE + "text,"
        + COLUMN_TEXT + " text not null"
        + ");";

And when i put the values and try to insert them :

values.put(COLUMN_ID, marker.getId() );
values.put(COLUMN_LATITUDE, marker.getLatitude()  ); // lat
values.put(COLUMN_LONGTITUDE, marker.getLongtitude() ); // long     
values.put(COLUMN_TITLE, marker.getTitle()  ); // Title     
values.put(COLUMN_TEXT, marker.getText() ); // Text     

// Inserting Row
        db.insert(TABLE_NAME, null, values);

but the error i got is :
E/Database(2542): android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: table Items has no column named longtitude: , while compiling: INSERT INTO items(longtitude, text, title, latitude, _id) VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?, ?);

so i guess is tries to put the longtitude where the Id is and that causes the Error.

Is my assumption right? What do i need to change?

Answer 1

You have an error in your create Table statement, you’re missing some spaces before the types (integer,text), here’s the correct version:

private static final String DATABASE_CREATE = "create table "
    + TABLE_NAME 
    +"( "
    + COLUMN_ID + " integer primary key autoincrement, "
    + COLUMN_LATITUDE + " integer,"
    + COLUMN_LONGTITUDE + " integer,"
    + COLUMN_TITLE + " text,"
    + COLUMN_TEXT + " text not null"
    + ");";

Before you didn’t create a column named “longitude”. Instead “longitudeinteger” was created
