can't insert into sqlite database, error: Table doen't exist

Question

I have been trying to solve what seems like a simple problem for the last 3 days, I am trying to insert a record into an sqlite database from an activity, I have searched for the issue without look. Below you find my activity code and DBHelper code. dbhelper CODE:

  public Long insertResult(String QUEST_ID,String test1,String test2) {
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
    ContentValues initialValues = new ContentValues();
    initialValues.put("Question", QUEST_ID);
    initialValues.put("Rights", test1);
    initialValues.put("Wrongs", test2);
    Log.d("Result:", "Rights " + initialValues.get("Rights"));
    return  db.insertOrThrow("Results", null, initialValues);
}

from the mainactivity
 long ins = myDbHelper.insertResult("test","test2","test3");

Answer 1

Results table doesn't exist in the database.

It looks like your DBHelper is extending SQLiteOpenHelper . You should override the onCreate method in DBHelper . For example, add something like this:

@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
    db.execSQL("create table Results (_id integer primary key autoincrement, Question text not null, Rights text not null, Wrongs text not null);");
}

If you ever change your database schema you'll also need to override the onUpgrade method.
