Table not being created, will create at random about sugar HOT 11 CLOSED

Keep getting hit by 'TABLE NOT FOUND' exceptions, simply trying to save it to? is not supposed to create the table at this point? It seems to just randomly work if i do it often enough, but i dont know what im doing to suddenly make it create the table.

from sugar.

if you're using it as .jar, it still needs a constructor with context parameter. If you're using the latest code as library, you'd need the default empty constructor. I assume, its failing for this reason. Do give it a try and let me know.

I do already have context in the constructor do i not? I'm using the jar

Oh, i see what you meant, i just added the constructor back, still the same problem however!

You need something like this.

public FantasyStocksDB(Context ctx){

       super(ctx);

}

Further: just swapped to using the library version, no luck.

Cleared my apps data and reinstalled one last time and it worked. :/
changed nothing, i dont even know what's going on anymore. haha

It might be an upgrade issue. Meaning: you might have run the app initially without the FantasyStockDB class. So, the database got created, without the table. When you run the second time, it didn't find the upgrade script, hence, no table created.

Fresh install (or clearing data), created the tables afresh. That solved it.

I created a sample project using your class. You don't need it now, but anyway here it is :)

Sorry about the reopen, thank you! But while i've got you here, is there a good way of checking whether the table does in fact exist? or creating the table, but empty initially?

You see, when the user wants to add a stock and i need to update the value in the DB i need something like:

  if(table.exists)
  {
      if(table.contains(stocksymbol)
      {
       update value at POS x
      }
     else
     {
      insert new value
     } 

 }
else
{

   create table
   insert value

 }

If that makes sense?

You don't really need to check if the table exists. Sugar takes care of creating the tables. If anything, it's only a development time issue. Once fixed, you can rely that it'd create the table on first launch.

For upgrades, you can follow the migration page here. http://satyan.github.io/sugar/migration.html

Unless, you have a very specific need of creating table on demand, I wouldn't recommend this approach.
