I am using SQLite on android and am getting this error
02-11 18:05:37.224: E/SQLiteDatabase(26583): android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConstraintException: columns name, foreign_word are not unique (code 19)
However, this is called right after onUpgrade() is called, so there should be nothing in the database itself. This is the SQL Statement used :
private static final String CREATE_DB_TB_2 = "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_VOCAB_WORDS + "(" + COLUMN_NAME + " TEXT NOT NULL," + COLUMN_WORD_FOREIGN + " TEXT NOT NULL," + COLUMN_WORD_ENGLISH + " TEXT NOT NULL," + COLUMN_CORRECT + " BYTE NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (" + COLUMN_NAME + "," + COLUMN_WORD_FOREIGN + "))";
As there is nothing in the database as I drop the table, why am I getting the error when I add something?? Furthermore, I am calling context.deleteDatabase(NAME); every time I run the app. The thing must be unique as the table is empty !
Thanks in advance

Furthermore, I'm not sure if this will make a difference but I also have another table which is created using this String.
private static final String CREATE_DB_TB_1 = "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_VOCAB_INFO + "(" + COLUMN_NAME + " TEXT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY," + COLUMN_URL + " TEXT NOT NULL," + COLUMN_DOWNLOADED + " TEXT NOT NULL)";
ImportVocabList is an Asynctask. This is the onPostExecute :
** * Method called after execution has happen, passing in the result * * @Override */ protected void onPostExecute(ArrayList<Word> result) { super.onPostExecute(result); progressDialog.dismiss(); boolean b = false; open(); for (Word w : result) { addWord(w, vlName); } if (getAllVocabListsWhere(DatabaseManipulator.COLUMN_DOWNLOADED, "false").size() == 0) { b = true; } close(); if (b) { context.finish(); } }
The method addWord is as follows :
public boolean addWord(Word w, String name) { try { ContentValues cv = new ContentValues(); cv.put(COLUMN_NAME, name); cv.put(COLUMN_WORD_FOREIGN, w.getWordForeign()); cv.put(COLUMN_WORD_ENGLISH, w.getWordEnglish()); cv.put(COLUMN_CORRECT, w.getCorrect()); database.insert(TABLE_VOCAB_WORDS, null, cv); return true; } catch (SQLiteException e) { System.out.println("SQL ERROR"); return false; } }
The problem has been fixed - there were duplicate entries but they were ignored. Thanks
