Keep getting "SQLiteException: no such table" exception

Question

I trying to create SQLiteDatabase for keeping my data which I get from JSONObject from post request. My main class:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    static JSONObject result;
    public Context mContext;
    public SQLiteDatabase db;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        mContext = getApplicationContext();
       new UpdateData().execute();


    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    private class UpdateData extends AsyncTask<String, Void, JSONObject>{

        private JSONObject object;
            @Override
            protected JSONObject doInBackground(String... params) {
                try {
                    HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();  
                    String postURL = "http://test.com";
                    HttpPost post = new HttpPost(postURL);
                        List<NameValuePair> crc = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
                        crc.add(new BasicNameValuePair("crc", "test"));
                        UrlEncodedFormEntity ent = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(crc,HTTP.UTF_8);
                        post.setEntity(ent);
                        HttpResponse responsePOST = client.execute(post);  
                        HttpEntity entit = responsePOST.getEntity();
                        String retSrc = EntityUtils.toString(entit);
                        object = new JSONObject(retSrc);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                return object;
            }
            @Override
            protected void onPostExecute(JSONObject result) {
                MainActivity.this.result = result;
                DataBase dbHelper = new DataBase(mContext) ;
                db = dbHelper.getWritableDatabase(); 
                dbHelper.createDB(db, result);  
                /*Cursor cursor = db.query("departments", null , null,
                        null, null, null, null, null);
                System.out.println(cursor.getString(1));*/
                }

    }
}

I can't debug it. When I create Cursor in MainActivity, I get exception after line db.execSQL(EXAMS_TABLE_CREATE); android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: no such table: departments: , while compiling: SELECT * FROM departments and when I don't create cursor it's just stops there while debugging. I can't check if there is anything in my database and if it's corectly made. I tried to rename my database like someone said in this question : android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: no such table but it didn't solve this.

Answer 1

that cannot be correct:

"CREATE TABLE " + EXAMS_TABLE_NAME + " (" +
            "id VARCHAR (255), " +              //0
            "name VARCHAR (255)," +             //1
            "type VARCHAR (100)," +             //2
            "level VARCHAR (100),"  + ");" ;

remove the last "," in that create-statement and try it again.

btw... you did that fault in all create statements.
