ActiveAndroid SQLite exception 'No such table'

Question

I'm having a problem with active-android. I at trying to fetch user location, number of passengers and general direction. I want to save these to phone storage in a table called "Splits" using activeAndroid. But whenever I call the save() method i get a long list of errors. I have tried to reinstall the app, and changing my DB name in the manifest, but neither of those solutions worked. Please keep in mind I am very new to programming, so if possible, act like I'm 5. Thank you :)

Here is the LogCat output

Here is my Model class for the table

@Table(name = "Splits")
public class Splits extends Model {
    @Column(name = "startLat")
    public double startLat;
    @Column(name = "startLong")
    public double startLong;
    @Column(name = "passengers")
    public int passengers;
    @Column(name = "direction")
    public String direction;


    public Splits()
    {
        super();
    }

    public Splits(double startLat, double startLong, int passengers, String direction)
    {
        this.startLat = startLat;
        this.startLong = startLong;
        this.passengers = passengers;
        this.direction = direction;
    }

}

I hope someone can help, I know I posted a bunch, but I am getting desperate at this point. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

although late, hope this help.

from official page of ActiveAndroid in github:

"This is because ActiveAndroid only generates the schema if there is no existing database file. In order to "regenerate" the schema after creating a new model, the easiest way is to uninstall the app from the emulator and allow it to be fully re-installed. This is because this clears the database file and triggers ActiveAndroid to recreate the tables based on the annotated models in the project."

Answer 2

Increment your AA_DB_VERSION in your manifest. That will force ActiveAndroid to regenerate your schema.

Answer 3

it seems you have forgotten to call super() on your model class in the constructor function:

public Splits(double startLat, double startLong, int passengers, String direction)
{
    super();
    this.startLat = startLat;
    this.startLong = startLong;
    this.passengers = passengers;
    this.direction = direction;
}

Another possibility is that you didn't declare your Model class in your Manifest file.
