RuntimeException: Unable to resume activity

Question

I am newbie in Android and trying to create a database with two tables, but when I fire my project, I got the following errors in logcat:

 05-04 11:21:29.678    1634-1634/com.example.keco.myapplication E/SQLiteLog﹕

Here is the class that extends SQLiteOpenHelper:

  package com.example.keco.myapplication;

import android.content.Context;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;
import android.provider.BaseColumns;

/**
 * Created by Keco on 04/05/2015.
 */
public class SqlGenerator extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
    private static final String STUDENTS_TABLE="students";
    private static final String COLUMN_name="_name";
    private static final String DB_NAME="school.db";
    private static final int DB_VERSION=1;


    public static final String CREATE_STUDENTS_TABLE=
            " CREATE TABLE"+ STUDENTS_TABLE+"("+ BaseColumns._ID+" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " +
                                  COLUMN_name+" VARCHAR(30)) ";



    public SqlGenerator (Context context){
        super(context,DB_NAME,null,DB_VERSION);

    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase database) {
        database.execSQL(CREATE_STUDENTS_TABLE);


    }

    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {

    }
}

and as a style to clean my code I declare the SqlGenerator object in separate class as following:

package com.example.keco.myapplication;

import android.content.Context;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;

/**
 * Created by Keco on 04/05/2015.
 */
public class DatabaseSource {

    private Context mContext;
    private SqlGenerator mSqlGenerator;

    public DatabaseSource (Context context){
        mContext=context;
        mSqlGenerator=new SqlGenerator(context);
        SQLiteDatabase database=mSqlGenerator.getReadableDatabase();
        database.close();
    }

}

and in MainActivity I declare and initialize the DatabaseSource object as following:

package com.example.keco.myapplication;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;


public class MainActivity extends Activity {



    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


    }


    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

       DatabaseSource databaseSource=new DatabaseSource(this);

    }


}

waiting for your appreciated help...

Answer 1

As the error message tells you, your CREATE TABLE statement is missing necessary whitespace

Replace

" CREATE TABLE"+ STUDENTS_TABLE+"..."

with

" CREATE TABLE " + STUDENTS_TABLE + "..."
//            ^
