this line of code that causes the problem ..

appointment.mStartDate = formatter.parse(c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("COL_START_DATE")));

Edit

more code .. The function that retrieve from database

public ArrayList<Appointment> getAllAppointments(){
        ArrayList<Appointment> appointments = new ArrayList<Appointment>();
        Appointment appointment = null;
        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();

        String query = "SELECT "+
                COL_EVENT_ID+ " as _id,"+
                COL_START_DATE+", "+
                COL_END_DATE+", "+
                COL_EVENT_BODY+", "+
                COL_EVENT_TITLE+", "+
                COL_STUDENT_ID+", "+    
                COL_EVENT_STATUS+", "+
                COL_SERVICE_NUMBER+", "+
                COL_PASSWORD+", "+
                COL_LECTURER_ID+", "+       
                COL_SEC_NO+", "+
                COL_DEPT_NO+","+
                COL_FLOOR_NO+" from "+TIMETABLE_TABLE;

        Cursor c = db.rawQuery(query,new String[]{});
        Log.d("query",query);

        c.moveToFirst();
        while(c.moveToNext()){
            appointment = new Appointment();
            try {
                appointment.mEventId = c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex("_id"));
                appointment.mStartDate = formatter.parse(c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("COL_START_DATE")));
                appointment.mEndDate = formatter.parse(c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("COL_END_DATE")));
                appointment.mBody = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("COL_EVENT_BODY"));
                appointment.mTitle = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("COL_EVENT_TITLE"));
                appointment.mStudentId = c.getString(c.getColumn开发者_Python百科Index("COL_STUDENT_ID"));
                appointment.mSatus = c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex("COL_EVENT_STATUS"));
                appointment.mServiceNo = c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex("COL_SERVICE_NUMBER"));
                appointment.mPassword = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("COL_PASSWORD"));
                appointment.mLecturerId = c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex("COL_LECTURER_ID"));
                appointment.mSecNo = c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex("COL_SEC_NO"));
                appointment.mDeptNo = c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex("COL_DEPT_NO"));
                appointment.mFloorNo = c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex("COL_FLOOR_NO"));
            } catch (ParseException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            appointments.add(appointment);
        }
        db.close();
        return appointments;
    }

piece of code that create the table ..

db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE "+ TIMETABLE_TABLE+
                " ("+COL_EVENT_ID+" TEXT PRIMARY KEY , "+
                COL_START_DATE+ " TEXT , "+
                COL_END_DATE+" TEXT , "+
                COL_EVENT_BODY+" TEXT ,"+
                COL_STUDENT_ID+ " TEXT , "+
                COL_EVENT_TITLE+ " TEXT , "+
                COL_EVENT_STATUS+" INTEGER ,"+
                COL_SERVICE_NUMBER+ " INTEGER , "+
                COL_PASSWORD+" TEXT , "+
                COL_LECTURER_ID+" TEXT ,"+
                COL_SEC_NO+ " INTEGER , "+
                COL_DEPT_NO+" INTEGER , "+
                COL_FLOOR_NO+" INTEGER "+");");

You're requesting the column with the name COL_START_DATE literally. That's not what you have. You should be doing:

c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(COL_START_DATE))

(same for the other ones)

I find it ..

I am passing the name of column as String , while it's a variable name !!

Thanks guys,
