Error: No such table exists SQLite

Question

I have a SQLite database with two tables, one for holding Login information, such as Email adress and password, and the other one to hold GPS coordinates for the user. I create both tables in the OnCreate method in my DBadapter class "DatabaseHandler.class". The login table works perfectly but the Coordinates table doesn't. The program throws "no such table exists" when I try to access and run commands on it.

Answer 1

have you added below statement db.execSQL(CREATE_CARCOORD_TABLE); in starting only(i mean both table together), or you added it later after creating database.

I will suggest you to remove/uninstall the application from phone/emulator completely. and install it again and see what it says on execSQL method call. I think if above was the case with you it should probably work.

The Reason here is onCreate calls once when database is not created hence if it is called once when created db, later on if you add another table, onCreate wont be called hence no added table ll be created. so solution here is either remove app completely and install it again so onCreate ll call now. or increase our database version and do some handling.
