Hello All,

I have a bug that I cannot find and I need another set of eyes. I will pay $100.00 for the answer/fix to this bug. Payment will be made via PayPal. This will also be an opportunity for more work in the future. This is a great site that gives great answers, I just want to pay to get it quicker. Please contact me if you are interested so I do not have multiple people working on the problem. I will only pay for one correct answer.

I am trying to use a ContentProvider and getting errors; The query with throws an exception. IllegalArgumentException: column '_id' does not exist

Give us the sql of the table.

Snow, is this what you needed? send me your email and I will send the code. My email is jlbcsi@gmail.com The query code is in the original post via a querybuilder.

please change the create table sql to below and try:

I guess that would be the same as Meds is derived from BaseColumns.

i mean there is BaseColumns._ID already, so no need the one line code below in your class Meds to add the column _ID again
public static final String _ID = "_id";
i list my codes below, please look at it.
in DCDProvider.java file:
public static final class DCDMeta implements BaseColumns {
public static final Uri CONTENT_URI = Uri.parse("content://dcd/meta");
public static final String GENERATOR_NAME = "_generator_name";
public static final String GENERATOR_URL = "_generator_url";
public static final String GENERATOR_VERSION = "_generator_version";

public static final String ANCHOR = "_anchor";
public static final String TTL = "_ttl";
public static final String SERVER_TIME = "_server_time";
public static final String NEXT_URL = "_next_url";
public static final String REQUEST_EXIST_FLAG = "_request_exist_flag";
}


in DCDDatabaseHelper.java file:
private void createDCDTables(SQLiteDatabase db) {

db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE " + DCDProvider.TABLE_META + " ("
+ BaseColumns._ID + " INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,"
+ DCDMeta.ANCHOR + " TEXT,"
+ DCDMeta.GENERATOR_NAME + " TEXT,"

+ DCDMeta.SERVER_TIME + " TEXT,"
+ DCDMeta.NEXT_URL + " TEXT,"
+ DCDMeta.REQUEST_EXIST_FLAG + " TEXT,"
+ DCDMeta.TTL + " TEXT);");

}

You are right! He shouldn't have defined Meds._ID again!

by the way i think you'd better give the complete file named MPhrList.java(important, seems exception triggered by the file) and the related files with the provider including the file(use the provider) for us to locate the wrong place according to below log, it is hard to read you codes listed above to find the wrong code.

Hello,

thanks I found the dup _id, thanks but that didn't solve the issue. The error is coming from the SimpleCursorAdapter. I think it may be something that I am doing with the xml files??

Hi Jeff,

Did you find the answer to your problem yet?
I believe the solution is that when calling the SimpleCursorAdapter constructor, the String array you pass in for the 4th argument needs to include the "_id" string in it. I did not look at the Android source to see why, but it seems that they require the _ID to be there, otherwise the exception is thrown.

Code: Select all

      try{
         SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
               R.layout.mphrlist_item,
               cursor,
               new String[] { "_id", "PRODUCT" }, //from
               new int[] { android.R.id.product_id, android.R.id.list }); //to
         setListAdapter(adapter);
      } catch (Exception e) {
         Log.e(TAG, "Exception caught Simple.. ", e);
      }


If you do not wish the ID to show in the view, just set its visibility to "gone":

Code: Select all

   <TextView android:id="@+id/product_id"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:visibility="gone" />


Let me know if that does it.

just by the way...

@snowflake -> cant u put all the javacode in matchin BB-Tags... otherwise its very hard 2 read ;p
