sqlite returned: error code = 1, msg = no such column:kitchen1

Question

I\'ve been getting this error for two days now, and I can\'t find the problem with my code.

here\'s the database code.

SQLHandler.java

Answer 1

If room is a character type (and it is, according to the CREATE_TABLE_2 string where it's defined as TEXT NOT NULL), you need to replace:

KEY_ROOM + "=" + r

with:

KEY_ROOM + "= '" + r + "'"

The way you have it, you're ending up with the query segment:

where room = kitchen1

and it's complaining that there's no kitchen1 column in that table, rightly so.

By quoting it, you end up with the correct:

where room = 'kitchen1'

This will turn the cursor creation line into:

Cursor c = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE2, columns,
    KEY_ROOM + "='" + r + "'", null, null, null, null);
