Android : Working With SQLite Database / Getting Cursor Out Of Bounds Exception
Jun 30, 2009
I am having some trouble working with the SQLite database. I am able to create the database, add to it, and delete from it with no problem by following the Notepad examples, but I am trying to avoid duplicates and therefore want to check to see if an entry exists already.
Below is the code I have for testing to see if a game exists. I get the correct Log message of "No Games" when there are no games, as well as the correct value for column from getColumnIndex which is proven to me by the log printout telling me that column = 1.
The error message that I receive if I don't catch the exception says "Caused by android.database.CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index -1 requested, with a size of 1
Where is Index -1 being requested if my call to getColumnIndex is returning 1? Code...

The following function is giving me an out of bounds exception...
public void count(){
SQLiteDatabase db = table.getWritableDatabase();
String count = "SELECT count(*) FROM table";
Cursor mcursor = db.rawQuery(count, null);
int icount = mcursor.getInt(0);
System.out.println("NUMBER IN DB: " + icount);}
It's meant to return the number of rows in the database. Anybody know whats wrong? am I perhaps doing this task the wrong way?

I don't know why this is generating an ArrayOutOfBoundsException! It's likely I've overlooked something because I'm so tired but if someone could tell me what is wrong I'd appreciate it. Code...

I created a sql lite database with the following columns:
static final String dbName="demoDB";
static final String tableName="Employees";
static final String colID="EmployeeID";
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE "+tableName+" ("+colID+" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, "+
colName+" TEXT, "+colAge+" Integer);");
I want to select all the records in the database like this and display them in a gridview:SQLiteDatabase db=this.getWritableDatabase();Cursor cur= db.rawQuery("Select "+colName+", "+colAge+" from "+tableName, new String [] {});String [] from=new String []{DatabaseHelper.colName,DatabaseHelper.colAge};
int [] to=new int [] {R.id.colName,R.id.colAge};
SimpleCursorAdapter sca=new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,R.layout.gridrow,c,from,to);
GridView grid=(GridView)findViewById(R.id.grid);
grid.setAdapter(sca);but i receive the following exception:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: column '_id' does not exist.the db table does not have a column with name '_id'so what is wrong with this code

I get records from the system by quering a ContentResolver. I maintain the order of the items in the database. So I want to display the items in the order taken from my database.
How do I merge these two informations?
I am looking after an alternative way now. As what I ideally want is:
Get order of contacts by a custom order held in my database (this involves joining CR with my DB cursor, and doing an order by, later seams it's not possible with CursorJoiner) but there is more, if the join is not unique I want to sort by contact's name as last measure
Which is impossible using Cursor and Joiners, because of the missing feature of order bys, also I need to return a Cursor, as I will be using the in an ExpandableList
Also this translated to TSQL it would look like
select * from contactsdata
left join category on contactsdata.catid=category.id
order by category.pos asc, contact.display_name asc
So I am looking now after an alternative. I have in mind to load in a temporary DB table all data from CR, then do the query on the temporary table where I can join tables and do order bys? How does this sound to you?

In my activity, I have an AutoCompleteTextView that gets its contents from my custom adapter. I created my adapter by following this example.The adapter works so far, but I am getting so many errors on leaks and cursors that are not finalized.My question is: how do I close the db in runQueryOnBackgroundThread?

I have decided that I hate SQL and for that purpose I am trying to make a helper class that I can reuse over and over and never have to mess with it again but it isnt working!
Here is what i have right now:
CODE:.........
I have included several System.out.println() statements to help me debug the code and find problems so please ignore them. PrintDB is another test that I wrote that I am using to make sure everything is working. Now this is what I have written to make sure everything is working....
CODE:.....................
Running this code everything goes great and all the System.out.println() statements have the right information in them until it gets to the databaseView.setText(db.printTable(tableName));
part and it throws an exception
CODE:................
This has me so confused because that same line of code is used in the getColNames() method that was called several times before this and ran with no problem. Also if the table didn't exist wouldn't it have thrown an exception when I called insertRow()? I called that method 5 times in a row with not a single exception thrown! What is happening here?
Implement onCreate() in your DBOpenHelper. Put there content of the createTable() method.
Why would it be necessary to create the table in the onCreate() method? If I were to do this would I be able to use my existing method to do so and just call it from this method?
And the second why you don't use content providers and uri >concept which is already SQLless?

I'm trying to deploy an application with an existing SQLite database.I've been reading though the examples that are posted but they are always missing some part of the class. I feel like I'm trying to bake muffins but no one told me to use baking powder.Can someone post a full database helper class for depoying an SQLite database on Android? Edit : Delete old code because it doesn't work.

I'm currently developing a Field-Service application that stores data in the local sqlite database on an android device. At some point, usually after completing the data collection rounds, the local sqlite db is to be synchronized to a remote sybase db on the server.Any suggestions as to how this could be achieved or engineered as a solution? Or even better, are there alternatives to synchronizing data in such an application?

I've got a query, (I'm using rawQuery())
SELECT * FROM <table>
I'm then storing what it returns using a cursor. From their what I want to do is, start at the first row so.. cursor.moveToFirst() then take each column , column by column and store its particular value in a variable. I then want to move onto the next row and do the same. So I guess my question is How would I get cursor to deal with multiple columns?

Im trying to get an object form my SQLite database in my Android application. I know that the contact is in the database because when I add it and try finding by ID, it returns the object. When I try finding by first and last name, though, it throws an exception and Im left with a null reference.
Here is the query:
CODE:..........
Ive also tried to find just by first name and just by last name. Same result as above.
The exception is an SQLite exception
no such column: aurelius: , while compiling: SELECT _id, last_name, first_name,
email_address, organization_name, label, label_position FROM contacts WHERE
first_name=marcus AND last_name=aurelius
And also happens when trying to select just first or last name
no such column: marcus: , while compiling: SELECT _id, last_name, first_name,
email_address, organization_name, label, label_position FROM contacts WHERE
first_name=marcus

I been using custom adapters based on the BaseAdapter and I usually populate my data at the getView() funtion.
Now I'm trying to write my custom adapter for my database cursor which now will be based on a CursorAdapter.
I'm getting confused where I should do the populating work? Along with how do I implement my inflating and populating "smart/efficient code based on RomainGuy presentation."

I'm new to Android, I just finished the Notepad Tutorials, where we can create SQLite Databases to save notes. So I wanted to know if it was possible to "import" my own SQLite database (not created with my App but with a 3rd-party software) to my project, and if the answer is yes, where should I save my SQLite databse and how can I have access to it.

I'm doing a application that will use a database with serialized object. The objects will be already serialized and the user will just display things. On a PC I would just make an XML but with android I'm not sure. Can I make an XML and "unpack" it when the user launch the application for the first time or should I do something else?

I put my database field in "assets" folder. And use the code from this blog to copy the database to "/data/data/my_packname/databases/", (This copy code i run it in the onCreate() method when i run this app) then use select * from ... to get data. But it gives me the exception: no such table. Someone told me that if i am attempting to copy the file in SQLiteOpenHelper's onCreate(), it's too late. So the copy file code can not copy the complete file. So i need to use adb or ddms to pull the database first? So, Anyone can teach me how to use my own databse?

public void delete(String id, String name, String phonenumber, String time, String message)
{
String[] args={id};
getWritableDatabase().delete("texts", "_ID=?", args);
}
It works fine, and deletes the specified row. However, I also want to implement it so that I can delete the most recent (earliest date) entry in the database, which should be at the top of the table. I know I can do this by altering the last 2 parameters of delete, but I cannot figure out what to change them to.

Is it really necessary to close an SQLite database that your activity has opened (database is in local memory or on SD card)? I would think it would be good practice, but I noticed that the Android samples such as the Notepad tutorial and SearchableDictionary sample do not do this. I've also seen sample code where the database is consistently opened, read from, and closed, but that would seem to add unnecessary overhead.
