SQLite Exception: No Such Column

Question

I'm making a timetable app, and i'm looking to get a string of room details (eg. H21) from a database, searching for an entry where it matches Day, Week, Lesson & Subject.

I keep getting an error that there is no such column "rooms", and looking around I can see that this can be easily caused by an error in the SQL. I can't find any mistakes but i'd appreciate any help.

The line calling the method (day, wk, l, and temp are all assigned to appropriate values by this point):

TimingsDb tDb = new TimingsDb(this);
TextView tvTab1tvRoom1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewCLW1tvRoom1);


tvTab1tvRoom1.setText(tDb.getRoom(day,wk,l,temp));

And the TimingsDb database:

public static final String KEY_ID = "_id";
public static final String KEY_SUBJECT = "subject_name";
public static final String KEY_WEEK = "week";
public static final String KEY_DAY = "day_name";
public static final String KEY_LESSON = "lesson";
public static final String KEY_ROOM = "room";
public static final String KEY_TEACHER = "teacher";

private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "TimingsDB";
private static final String DATABASE_TABLE = "TimingsTable";
private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;  

@Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE " + DATABASE_TABLE + " (" + KEY_ID
                + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " + KEY_SUBJECT
                + " TEXT, " + KEY_WEEK + " INTEGER, "
                + KEY_DAY + " TEXT, " + KEY_LESSON + " INTEGER, "
                + KEY_ROOM + " TEXT, " + KEY_TEACHER + " TEXT);");
    }// end onCreate

public String getRoom(String day, String week, String lesson, String subject){
    String[] column = new String[] { KEY_ROOM };
    String selection = KEY_DAY + " = ? AND " + KEY_WEEK + " = ? AND "
            + KEY_LESSON + " = ? AND " + KEY_SUBJECT + " = ?";
    String[] selectionArgs = new String[] { day, week, lesson, subject };
    Cursor c = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE, column, selection,
            selectionArgs, null, null, null);
    String result = "";
    if (c.moveToFirst()) {
        int iRoom = c.getColumnIndex(KEY_ROOM);
        result = c.getString(iRoom);
    }
    c.close();
    if (result == null) {
        result = "";
    }
    return result;

}//end getRoom

And the LogCat Report:

Answer 1

Update your database version:

private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 2; 

I think you have added your column KEY_ROOM later .

Answer 2

Change your database version into 2.

private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 2;

and use

String room = c.getString(5);

instead of

int iRoom = c.getColumnIndex(KEY_ROOM)
result = c.getString(iRoom);
