I have a DatabaseHandler class and within my table i have an id, name, and phonenumber. I want to add another column - "age", yet every time I try to add to that new column I get an error saying the column doesn't exist. How would I add another column to this?
Here's some code:
public class DatabaseHandler extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
// All Static variables
// Database Version
private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;
// Database Name
private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "contactsManager";
// Contacts table name
private static final String TABLE_CONTACTS = "contacts";
// Contacts Table Columns names
private static final String KEY_ID = "id";
private static final String KEY_NAME = "name";
private static final String KEY_PH_NO = "phone_number";
public DatabaseHandler(Context context) {
super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
}
// Creating Tables
@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
String CREATE_CONTACTS_TABLE = "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_CONTACTS + "("
+ KEY_ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY," + KEY_NAME + " TEXT,"
+ KEY_PH_NO + " TEXT" + ")";
db.execSQL(CREATE_CONTACTS_TABLE);
}
/**
* All CRUD(Create, Read, Update, Delete) Operations
*/
// Adding new contact
void addContact(Contact contact) {
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(KEY_NAME, contact.getName()); // Contact Name
values.put(KEY_PH_NO, contact.getPhoneNumber()); // Contact Phone
// Inserting Row
db.insert(TABLE_CONTACTS, null, values);
db.close(); // Closing database connection
}
// Getting All Contacts
public List<Contact> getAllContacts() {
List<Contact> contactList = new ArrayList<Contact>();
// Select All Query
String selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM " + TABLE_CONTACTS;
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
// looping through all rows and adding to list
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
Contact contact = new Contact();
contact.setID(Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(0)));
contact.setName(cursor.getString(1));
contact.setPhoneNumber(cursor.getString(2));
// Adding contact to list
contactList.add(contact);
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
// return contact list
return contactList;
}
