Application Crashing after SQLite Database

Question

I have a part of code which returns an array after querying the database but when I run the the application , it crashes

//info is the name of the object of the type DataBase
    info.open();
    String[] data = info.queryAll();
    info.close();

Part of the database code , where I am trying to retrieve all the rows of Database of a certain column

public String[] queryAll() {
    String[] columns = new String[] { KEY_NAME };
    Cursor cursor = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE, columns, null, null,
            null, null, null);
    if (cursor != null) {
        try {
            final int nameColumnIndex =                     cursor.getColumnIndex(KEY_NAME);
            List<String> names = new ArrayList<String>();
            while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
                names.add(cursor.getString(nameColumnIndex));
            }
            return names.toArray(new String[names.size()]);
        } finally {
            cursor.close();
        }
    }
    return null;

}

Is it because my DataBase is null in the beginning??If so how do I correct the code ?? All suggestions will be helpful' Thank You

You are creating another table

private static final String DATABASE_CREATE = "create table contacts (_id integer  
primary key autoincrement, "
            + "Contact_name text not null, Personal_Phonenumber text not null, 
Home_Phonenumber text not null, Office_Phone text not null); ";

here you are creating contacts table and not the one you need

use

mycontacts

intead of

contacts

In your create table statement your table is called contacts:

private static final String DATABASE_CREATE = "create table contacts (_id integer primary key autoincrement, "
        + "Contact_name text not null, Personal_Phonenumber text not null, Home_Phonenumber text not null, Office_Phone text not null); ";

Yet in your query, its mycontacts:

private static final String DATABASE_TABLE = "mycontacts";

Which would explain why the error tells you that the table mycontacts does not exist.

Try changing your constant to:

private static final String DATABASE_TABLE = "contacts";

Which should fix that issue.

  private static final String DATABASE_CREATE = "create table contacts (_id integer primary key autoincrement, "
                + "Contact_name text not null, Personal_Phonenumber text not null, Home_Phonenumber text not null, Office_Phone text not null); ";

Office_Phone in the above code and the declaration do not match . Also what others said.

did you create your mycontacts table, if not, you should extend SQLiteOpenHelper, and override the onCreate, like this:

        @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
            db.execSQL("HERE IS YOUR SQL STATEMENT FOR CREATING mycontacts TABLE");
    }

every time you need to query the db, you could get the db instance using getReadabledatabase() of your own SQLiteOpenHelper;
