java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Empty bindArgs

Question

Sorry for bothering again, I am a Sqlite novice and need some help.

I am trying to update a single filed in a single row of a table .

I try to do this with:

db.getWritableDatabase().execSQL("UPDATE data SET korean = "
+kopulito+ " WHERE _id = " + constantsCursor.getString(0), null);

But I get the above mentioned error. This is my LogCat.
