Why does my app crashes on using SimpleAdapter to display Listview?

Question

I am trying to generate a ListView using SimpleAdapter. I am getting the following errors. Please help me t fix the errors. My codes are as follows along with the error logs.

Code for SimpleAdapter

 SimpleAdapter k=new SimpleAdapter(getActivity(),val,R.layout.contact,new String[]{"name,path"},new int[]{R.id.example_itemname,R.id.path})
    {
      @Override
        public View getView (int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
            { 

final View v = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
//some codes more here

                return v;
            }
    };
 swipy.setAdapter(k);

Code of the database where val gets its value

 public ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> swipelistdata() {
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> wordList;
wordList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

String selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM contacts";

SQLiteDatabase database = this.getWritableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = database.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
    do {
        HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();

        map.put("name", cursor.getString(1));
        map.put("path", cursor.getString(3));

        wordList.add(map);
    } while (cursor.moveToNext());
}cursor.close();
database.close();

return wordList;
 }

Answer 1

I think you mistake is here

new String[]{"name,path"},new int[]{R.id.example_itemname,R.id.path}

Arrays must have the same length. Try this:

new String[]{"name","path"},new int[]{R.id.example_itemname,R.id.path})

Answer 2

Change your code like this.

boolean isPresent = true;
Cursor cursor = database.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
    do {
        HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();

        map.put("name", cursor.getString(1));
        map.put("path", cursor.getString(3));

        wordList.add(map);
        isPresent = cursor.moveToNext()
    } while (isPresent);

Hope this will work. Let me know if it worked or not.
