Android SQLite java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: column '_id' does not exist

here is how i create the table ...

"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Product (
    _ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY  AUTOINCREMENT  NOT NULL  UNIQUE , 
    Name VARCHAR NOT NULL, 
    Code VARCHAR NOT NULL, 
    Quantity VARCHAR NOT NULL, 
    PRICE DOUBLE NOT NULL );"

if i do this. 

myDb = new DbAdapter(getApplicationContext());
        Cursor res = myDb.getData(tbs.productsTable, tbs.getProductsColumns(), " ");    
        toast(res.getColumnName(0));

then it shows _ID, but when i do this:

ListView lvItems = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listViewProduct);
        Populate_Products todoAdapter = new Populate_Products(this, res);
        lvItems.setAdapter(todoAdapter);

it gives me this error:

Try _id instead of _ID in CREATE statement-

"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Product (
_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY  AUTOINCREMENT  NOT NULL  UNIQUE , 
Name VARCHAR NOT NULL, 
Code VARCHAR NOT NULL, 
Quantity VARCHAR NOT NULL, 
PRICE DOUBLE NOT NULL );"

Cursor column names are case sensitive and CursorAdapter expects to see lowercase _id. (SQL identifiers themselves are not case sensitive.)

Either rename the column and recreate your table, or just select it explicitly in its lowercase form, e.g. SELECT _id, ....
