How to get the total count of records from SQLite

I am trying to get the total count of rows from Sqlite DB. Following is the code snippet of what I am trying 开发者_如何学Pythonto do.

I dont know what I am doing wrong here ?

public static int getTotalCount(Context _context)
{
Cursor c = null;
try
{
    c = getInstance(_context).db.rawQuery("SELECT COUNT(word) FROM  "
        + WORD_TABLE, null);

    return c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex(WORD_COL));

} catch (Exception e)
{
    Log.e("getTotalCount", e.toString());
}
return 0;

Exception message : 05-08 05:21:19.934: ERROR/getTotalCount(440): android.database.CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index -1 requested, with a size of 1

Try c.getInt(0);

or

 c = getInstance(_context).db.rawQuery("SELECT COUNT(word) as WORD_COL FROM  "
    + WORD_TABLE, null);

also put a c.moveToFirst(); right after the rawQuery line for good measure.

Assuming WORD_COL is word? You have not requested a column named word. You have a column COUNT(word), which is a completely different matter; thus when you try to fetch data for word, getColumnIndex fails to find it, giving you a nonsense index of -1, which then causes the getInt to fail since nobody counts from -1 up. :)

You can rename the column to something nicer, too: SELECT COUNT(word) AS word_count FROM..., then request that name. Another option is, you know this query returns only one column, there is no need to name it; just use its index directly.

---

After the rawQuery, try

c.moveToFirst();
return c.GetInt(0);

try out this:

Cursor c  = _sqlDatabase.rawQuery("Select * from table", null);
System.out.println("Count:"+c.getCount());

You may have this CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException because the cursor doesnt point to the first result.

Try this:

try
{
    c = getInstance(_context).db.rawQuery("SELECT COUNT(word) FROM  "
        + WORD_TABLE, null);
    c.moveToFirst();
    return c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex(WORD_COL));

} catch (Exception e)
