Content Provider error: bind or column index out of range: handle 0x234590

I have implemented a Content Provider, it is resulting in following error

04-25 00:25:16.856: E/AndroidRuntime(520): Caused by: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: bind or column index out of range: handle 0x234590

The query in Content Provider is

Cursor cursor = qb.query(db, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null, null,
            sortOrder);

and call to Content Provider is

cursor = cr.query(uri, new String[] { ContactTableMetaData.ABC,
            ContactTableMetaData.MNP }, ContactTableMetaData.XYZ + "=?",
            new String[] { "phonenumber1", "phonenumber2", "phonenumber3",
                    "phonenumber4", "phonenumber5", "email1", "email2", "email3",
                    "email4", "email5" }, null);

Complete logcat is

Solution

String selection = ContactTableMetaData.XYZ + "=?";
String[] selectionArgs = new String[] { "phonenumber1", "phonenumber2", "phonenumber3",
                    "phonenumber4", "phonenumber5", "email1", "email2", "email3",
                    "email4", "email5" }

The amount of ? must match the amount of selectionArgs. If you provide 10 items then the selection has to have 10 ?.

The N-th ? in selection is replaced by the N-th item in selectionArgs.

Edit: If you want to check if ContactTableMetaData.XYZ is any of those then either do

String selection = ContactTableMetaData.XYZ + "=? OR " + ContactTableMetaData.XYZ + "=? OR " + ...

String selection = ContactTableMetaData.XYZ + " IN (?, ?, ?, ?, ..)"

I would prefer the second one :)
