Error: Make sure the Cursor is initialized correctly before accessing data from it?

Question

I have cursor initialized as follows:

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                


        

Answer 1

The column index of a cursor is zero-based, so change:

 cursorState = c.getString(1);
 cursorCapital = c.getString(2);

to

cursorState = c.getString(0);
cursorCapital = c.getString(1);
