This is the error i get:

 **ERROR/Database(13775): Failure 1 (near "s": syntax error)**

while i try to execute the following query:

myDB.execSQL("INSERT INTO " + tableName + " (" + column[1] + "," + column[2] + "," + column[3] + "," + column[4] + ","
                                + column[5] + "," + column[6] + "," + column[7] + "," + column[8] + ",type ) VALUES('" + url + "','" + title + "','" + summary + "','" + imageUrl + "','" + completeStoryUrl + "','" + date + "','" + imageString + "','" + body + "','" + type + "')");

These values are being stored in Db by parsing an xml having RSS feeds like objects. few items are stored but on some i get this exception. Is there a problem of query of the data being sent to tha query..??? Any help is appreciated.

    Without seeing the actual query that is being executed, I would guess that one of the fields being inserted contains a ” character, which is breaking the SQL statement.

    for example imagine if the value of summary was 

    This string need"s to be escaped

    As Michalis said, you need to escape the values being inserted ( replace any special characters )

    If I were you, I would log the actual string query that is being executed. Then take a look in logcat at it and you should see why it is failing.
