I'm getting the following error, and I have no idea why it is occurring. I was wondering if anyone else might be able to shed some light on the issue.

The code is here:
public Player getPlayer(String name) {
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
String[] projection = {
PlayerEntry.COLUMN_NAME_PLAYER_NAME,
PlayerEntry.COLUMN_NAME_PLAYED_GAMES,
};
String selection = PlayerEntry.COLUMN_NAME_PLAYER_NAME ;
String[] selectionArgs = new String[1];
selectionArgs[0] = name;
Cursor cursor = db.query(
PlayerEntry.TABLE_NAME, // The table to query
projection, // The columns to return
selection, // The columns for the WHERE clause
selectionArgs, // The values for the WHERE clause
null, // don't group the rows
null, // don't filter by row groups
null // The sort order
);
if (cursor != null)
cursor.moveToFirst();
Android Solutions
Solution 1 - Android
The selection
should be an expression and selectionArgs
should have as many elements as there are ?
literal placeholders in selection
.
Your selection
is not an expression and does not have any ?
but you have one element in selectionArgs
.
You probably want something like:
String selection = PlayerEntry.COLUMN_NAME_PLAYER_NAME + "=?";
to make it an expression that matches the player name column agains the literal you're binding in selectionArgs[0]
.

> In my case I had the question mark inside single quotes like this '?'. Removing the single quotes resolved the error.
