Android CallLog Content Provider raises java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

I'm trying to access information from the Android CallLog Content Provider, using the code that follows, but it raises an exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot bind argument at index 1 because the index is out of range. The statement has 0 parameters.

// Designates which columns to get back from the content provider
String[] mProjection =
{
    CallLog.Calls.NUMBER,
    CallLog.Calls.DATE,
    CallLog.Calls.DURATION,
    CallLog.Calls.TYPE
};

// Defines a string to contain the selection clause
String mSelectionClause = null;

// Initializes an array to contain selection arguments
String[] mSelectionArgs = {""};

Cursor mCursor = getContentResolver().query
(
        CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI,         // The content URI of the words table
        mProjection,                       // The columns to return for each row
        mSelectionClause,                  // Either null, or the word the user entered
        mSelectionArgs,                    // Either empty, or the string the user entered
        "DATE DESC"                        // The sort order for the returned rows
);

mSelectionArgs is null at [0]. You need to specifiy it's value at [0], before you use getContentResolver.

// If the word is the empty string, gets everything
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(mSearchString)) {
    // Setting the selection clause to null will return all words
    mSelectionClause = null;
    mSelectionArgs[0] = "";

} else {
    // Constructs a selection clause that matches the word that the user entered.
    mSelectionClause = UserDictionary.Words.WORD + " = ?";

    // Moves the user's input string to the selection arguments.
    mSelectionArgs[0] = mSearchString;

}

Notice that you're declaring both:

String mSelectionClause = null;
String[] mSelectionArgs = {""};

The first line says that you have no selection arguments but the second line is actually passing "", which counts as one argument.

I think that should set mSelectionArgs to null or to {}. Otherwise, the query method will try to insert "" on an empty clause and that might be what's causing the problem.
