Android application fetch data from SQLite

Question

I am new to android programming and i am trying to fetch data from SQLite and display it in list View. This is where i am getting and displaying data

DataHandler handler=new DataHandler (getBaseContext());
handler.open();
Cursor c=handler.returnData_schedule();
List<ScheduleData> arr=new ArrayList<ScheduleData>();
if(c.moveToFirst()){
    do{
        String date=c.getString(0);
        String time=c.getString(1);
        String food=c.getString(2);
        ScheduleData myData=new ScheduleData(date,time,food);
        arr.add(myData);
    }while(c.moveToNext());
}           
ScheduleAdapter myadapter=new ScheduleAdapter(this,R.layout.schedule_list,arr);
ListView listView=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView1);
listView.setAdapter(myadapter);

this is my fetch function.

public Cursor returnData_schedule()
    {
        return db.query(TABLE_SCHEDULE,new String[] {date,time,food},null,null,null,null,null);
    }

This is my adapter class

   public class ScheduleAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<ScheduleData> {

    Context myContext;
    int layout;
    List<ScheduleData> obj;
    public ScheduleAdapter(Context context, int resource,List<ScheduleData> arr) {
        super(context, resource, arr);
        myContext=context;
        layout=resource;
        obj=arr;
    }
    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View ConvertView,ViewGroup parent){
        View row;
        if(ConvertView==null){
            LayoutInflater inflater=((Activity) myContext).getLayoutInflater();
            row=inflater.inflate(layout,parent,false);
        }
        else{
            row=(View)ConvertView;
        }
        TextView dateText=(TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        TextView timeText=(TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.textView2);
        TextView foodText=(TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.textView3);

        dateText.setText(obj.get(position).getDate());
        timeText.setText(obj.get(position).getTime());
        foodText.setText(obj.get(position).getFood());      
        return row;
    }

}

This is the logcat

I have no idea why it crashes. I have used the same method to fetch data from other table and it gives me correct data. I do not know know what syntax error it is talking about in 03-25 16:43:39.420: E/SQLiteLog(1789): (1) near "FROM": syntax error Please guys tell me how to solve this issue. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

return db.query(TABLE_SCHEDULE,new String[] {date,time,food},null,null,null,null,null);

In here data,time,food ought to be column names and not values. You get the syntax error when food is an empty string.

I don't know your table schema, but guessing they are the column names, it should read:

return db.query(TABLE_SCHEDULE,new String[] {"date","time","food"},null,null,null,null,null);

with the column names quoted as strings.
