Android SQLiteException: bind or column index out of range problem

Question

In android I am using the following statement.

model = dataHelper.rawQuery(\"SELECT _id, engword, lower(engword) as letter FROM word WHERE letter >= \'a\' AND         


        

Answer 1

You provided 3 parameters but you have no ? in your query. Pass null instead of string array as the 2nd argument to the rawQuery or replace _id, engword and lower(engword) as letter in your select string by ?

1)

model = dataHelper.rawQuery("SELECT ?, ?, ? FROM word WHERE letter >= 'a' AND letter < '{' AND engword LIKE '%" + filterText + "%'",new String[] {"_id","engword", "lower(engword) as letter"});

2)

model = dataHelper.rawQuery("SELECT _id, engword, lower(engword) as letter FROM word WHERE letter >= 'a' AND letter < '{' AND engword LIKE '%" + filterText + "%'", null);

Edit: As @Ewoks pointed out, the option (1) is incorrect, since prepared statements can get parameters (?s) only in WHERE clause.
