I'm having trouble with something that works in the Notepad example.
Here's the code from the NotepadCodeLab/Notepadv1Solution:

String[] from = new String[] { NotesDbAdapter.KEY_TITLE };
int[] to = new int[] { R.id.text1 };

SimpleCursorAdapter notes = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
R.layout.notes_row, c, from, to);

This code seems to work fine.  But just to be clear, I ran the adb
utility and run sqlite3 I inspected the schema as follows:

sqlite> .schema
CREATE TABLE android_metadata (locale TEXT);
CREATE TABLE notes (_id integer primary key autoincrement, title text
not null, body text not null);

All seems good to me.


---------------------------------------------------------
Now on to My App, which as far as I can see is basically the same with
a few minor changes.  I've simplified and simplified my code, but the
problem persists.

String[] from = new String[] { "x" };
int[] to = new int[] { R.id.x };

SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = null;
try
{
    adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.circle_row,
cursor, from, to);
}
catch (RuntimeException e)
{
    Log.e("Circle", e.toString(), e);
}

When I run my app, I get a RuntimeException and the following prints
in LogCat from my Log.e() statement:

LogCat Message:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: column '_id' does not exist

So, back to sqlite3 to see what's different about my schema:

sqlite> .schema
CREATE TABLE android_metadata (locale TEXT);
CREATE TABLE circles (_id integer primary key autoincrement, sequence
integer, radius real, x real, y real);

I don't see how I'm missing the '_id'.

Can anyone point out what I've done wrong?

One thing that's different between my app and the Notepad example is
that I started by creating my application from scratch using the
Eclipse wizard while the sample app comes already put together.  Is
there some sort of environmental change I need to make for a new app
to use a sqlite database?

Hopefully this is easy to spot by someone that's not a newbie like
me.  Thanks.

Mitch
