I am newbie in Android and trying to create a database with two tables, but when I fire my project, I got the following errors in logcat:
05-04 11:21:29.678 1634-1634/com.example.keco.myapplication E/SQLiteLog﹕

Here is the class that extends SQLiteOpenHelper:
package com.example.keco.myapplication;
import android.content.Context;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;
import android.provider.BaseColumns;
/**
* Created by Keco on 04/05/2015.
*/
public class SqlGenerator extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
private static final String STUDENTS_TABLE="students";
private static final String COLUMN_name="_name";
private static final String DB_NAME="school.db";
private static final int DB_VERSION=1;
public static final String CREATE_STUDENTS_TABLE=
" CREATE TABLE"+ STUDENTS_TABLE+"("+ BaseColumns._ID+" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " +
COLUMN_name+" VARCHAR(30)) ";
public SqlGenerator (Context context){
super(context,DB_NAME,null,DB_VERSION);
}
@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase database) {
database.execSQL(CREATE_STUDENTS_TABLE);
}
@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
}
}
and as a style to clean my code I declare the SqlGenerator object in separate class as following:
package com.example.keco.myapplication;
import android.content.Context;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
/**
* Created by Keco on 04/05/2015.
*/
public class DatabaseSource {
private Context mContext;
private SqlGenerator mSqlGenerator;
public DatabaseSource (Context context){
mContext=context;
mSqlGenerator=new SqlGenerator(context);
SQLiteDatabase database=mSqlGenerator.getReadableDatabase();
database.close();
}
}
and in MainActivity I declare and initialize the DatabaseSource object as following:
package com.example.keco.myapplication;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
DatabaseSource databaseSource=new DatabaseSource(this);
}
}
waiting for your appreciated help...
As the error message tells you, your CREATE TABLE
statement is missing necessary whitespace
Replace
" CREATE TABLE"+ STUDENTS_TABLE+"..."
with
" CREATE TABLE " + STUDENTS_TABLE + "..."
