Calculate Sum of Column in SQLite Android

I need to calculate Sum value of a Column.For that I am using the following query.But the app is crashed when I click a button to calculate.

Cursor cur = db.rawQuery("SELECT SUM " + (DbHelper.CART_TOTAL) + " FROM " + DbHelper.CART_TABLE, null);
if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
       Log.e("Net Total", cur.getInt(0) + "");
       return cur.getInt(0);
         }
        return 0;

Logcat error:

      android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException:
     no such column: SUM (code 1): , 
while compiling: SELECT SUM cart_total FROM cart_table

Correct way

 Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT SUM(" + DbHelper.CART_TOTAL + ") as Total FROM " + DbHelper.CART_TABLE, null);

 if (cur.moveToFirst()) {

 int total = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("Total"));// get final total

You are missing Round Braces. Your query should be.

Cursor cur = db.rawQuery("SELECT SUM(" + (DbHelper.CART_TOTAL) + ") FROM " + DbHelper.CART_TABLE, null);

The answer given by @MD in detail :

SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT SUM(" + DBHelper.COST + ") as Total FROM " + DBHelper.EXPENSE_TABLE, null);
    if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
        int total = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("Total"));
        return total;
    }

DBHelper: some Database Helper Class
DBHelper.COST : Name of column for which cost is calculated
EXPENSE_TABLE : name of the table

//Sample calculate SUM Value
    public int getSumValue(){
        int sum=0;
        database=dbHelper.getReadableDatabase();
        String sumQuery=String.format("SELECT SUM(%s) as Total FROM %s",dbHelper.VALUE,dbHelper.TABLE_NAME);
        Cursor cursor=database.rawQuery(sumQuery,null);
        if(cursor.moveToFirst())
            sum= cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("Total"));
        return sum;
    }

Note that: database is SQLiteDatabase, dbHelper is DatabaseHelper class (you create it and set name DatabaseHelper), dbHelper.VALUE is column name, dbHelper.TABLE_NAME is table name.
