Android Android Data Persistence Using SQLite for Structured Data Creating a SQLite Table

Bummer! Something is wrong with the statement: CREATE TABLE CAR_MAKERS (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,ASSETTEXT

I don't get it, please help...

AutoSQLiteHelper.java
public class AutoSQLiteHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
   public static final String CAR_MAKERS = "CARS";
  public static final String COLUMN_MEME_ASSET = "ASSET";
  public static final String COLUMN_MEME_NAME = "NAME";
  public static final String CREATE_CAR_MAKERS = 
          "CREATE TABLE CAR_MAKERS (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," + COLUMN_MEME_ASSET + "TEXT" + COLUMN_MEME_NAME  + "COMPANY_NAME)";

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

Your code has an error because you didn't put the field value "TEXT" for COLUMN_MEME_NAME column and also you skipped to put a comma on TEXT field variable for COLUMN_MEME_ASSET.Try to format your code to this , if an error occurs don't hesitate to ask me,Cheers happy coding!

="CREATE TABLE CAR_MAKERS (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " + COLUMN_MEME_ASSET + " TEXT," + COLUMN_MEME_NAME + "TEXT" + ")";

Hey there!

For the first part of this challenge, you just want to add the key COMPANY_NAME with the type TEXT.

Remember that you need a , between each "command" and a space between the key and the type.


Hopefully this should have explained what you need to do on this question for you but if you're still having problems, give me a shout :)
