I have a database and I am doing a query to it using
Cursor mCursor = mapDb.query(MY_TABLE, new String[] {KEY_ONEID, KEY_TWOID}, "trim("+KEY_TWOID + ") != '' ", null, null, null, null);
which in SQL terms literally means:
SELECT OneId, TwoId FROM auth WHERE trim(TwoId) != ''
Using the raw SQL query this works in my SQLite browser to show me the rows in question, so the Cursor object should contain the same results.
Secondly in my java method I am using a condition to check if this result has anything
if(mCursor.getColumnIndex(KEY_ONEID) > -1) //if > -1 then the mCursor returned a row
{
if(mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(KEY_ONEID)).contains(id)) //breaks here
return mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(KEY_TWOID));
else
return "";
}
But for some reason, even though the mCursor hashmap should have all the values returned, this next conditional statement
mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(KEY_ONEID)).contains(id)
still returns: An exception occurred: android.database.CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException
this is the line that throws the exception: mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(KEY_ONEID))
and so does my next item in the return statement
I'm baffled at how to retrieve a particular row value then! because I have pulled the database and run the same query and can clearly see that both of the values I want, do in fact exist!
the Cursor function doesn't provide many other ways to retrieve values, so insight appreciated!
