SQL database Columns error, or does not exist?

Question

I am working on my sqldatabase, but i cannot move on because my program is giving me an error that there is no such column, even though the column is clearly defined at the top of my code under "KEY_NAME" If anybody can help me or needs me to post anymore code please tell me Thanks! I've only posted my database.

Answer 1

db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE " + DATABASE_TABLE + " (" + KEY_ROWID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,KEY_NAME TEXT NOT NULL, " + KEY_HOTNESS + " TEXT NOT NULL);");

Try the above changes..I think the problem might be due to space added before KEY_NAME. Hope this helps u..

Answer 2

try replacing + "KEY_NAME" + with + KEY_NAME + ( without double quotes ). This line is inside public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db)

Answer 3

replace your db.execSQL query by this

db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE " + DATABASE_TABLE + " (" + KEY_ROWID
            + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " + KEY_NAME
            + " TEXT NOT NULL, " + KEY_HOTNESS + " TEXT NOT NULL);");
