Question

When I query my database I keep getting an error saying SQLException: no such column and i do not understand why when my query looks just fine

Cursor nameCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(StatusList.STATUS_URI,new String[] {StatusList.STATUS_NAME,StatusList.STATUS_PERMISSIONS,StatusList.STATUS_ECM2ID}
                ,StatusList.STATUS_TYPE+"=1"+" AND "+StatusList.STATUS_NAME+"="+incidentCursor.getString(0),null,null);

here is the full error

Basically what I am trying to do it query my database for anything of type 1 and a name

I know for a fact such record exists so I dont know why I am getting this error

EDIT:
Database creation code

private static class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper 
{
    DatabaseHelper(Context context) 
    {
        super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) 
    {
        createTables(db);
    }

    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, 
                          int newVersion) 
    {
        Log.w("Messages", "Upgrading database from version " + oldVersion 
              + " to "
              + newVersion + ", which will destroy all old data");
        db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Incidents");
        db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Distributions");
        onCreate(db);
    }

    private void createTables(SQLiteDatabase db){
        db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE " + INCIDENTS_TABLE + "(" + INCIDENT_ID + " integer primary key autoincrement, " +
                INCIDENT_ECM2ID + " INTEGER, " + INCIDENT_STATON_NAME + " TEXT, " + INCIDENT_READ + " INTEGER, " + INCIDENT_TOC + " TEXT, " +
                INCIDENT_STATION_ID + " INTEGER, " + INCIDENT_MESSAGE_ID + " INTEGER, " + INCIDENT_MESSAGE + " TEXT);");

        db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE " + DISTRIBUTION_MESSAGES_TABLE + "(" + DIST_ID + " integer primary key autoincrement, " +
                DIST_MESSAGE_ID + " INTEGER, " + DIST_ECM2ID + " INTEGER, " + DIST_SENDER_EMAIL + " TEXT, " + 
                DIST_SENDER_NAME + " TEXT, " + DIST_STATION_ID + " INTEGER, " + DISC_READ + " INTEGER, " + DIST_TOC + " TEXT, "
                + DIST_SUBJECT +" TEXT, " + DIST_MESSAGE + " TEXT);");
    }
}

Answer 1

SIS is not a column, it should be a string. Either use the ? substitution character or wrap your string in quotes.

Using SQL injection safe ?:

Cursor nameCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(StatusList.STATUS_URI,
        new String[] {StatusList.STATUS_NAME, StatusList.STATUS_PERMISSIONS, StatusList.STATUS_ECM2ID},
        StatusList.STATUS_TYPE + "=1 AND " + StatusList.STATUS_NAME + "=?",
        new String[] {incidentCursor.getString(0)},
        null);

Using quotes:

Cursor nameCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(StatusList.STATUS_URI,
        new String[] {StatusList.STATUS_NAME, StatusList.STATUS_PERMISSIONS, StatusList.STATUS_ECM2ID},
        StatusList.STATUS_TYPE + "=1 AND " + StatusList.STATUS_NAME + "='" + incidentCursor.getString(0) + "'",
        null,
        null);
