Android SQLite Query - Getting latest 10 records

Question

I have a database saved in my Android application and want to retrieve the last 10 messages inserted into the DB.

When I use:

Select * from tblmessag         


        

Answer 1

In your query, the DESC is interpreted as a table alias.

As mentioned by ρяσѕρєя K, to be able to specify a sorting direction, you need to sort in the first place with an ORDER BY clause.

The column to be sorted should be a timestamp, if you have one, or an autoincrementing column like the table's primary key.
