android sqlite data not adding

Question

I wish to add some data to the database in android. Here is my code

import android.content.Context;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException;
import android.util.Log;

public class MySQLiteHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

  public static final String TABLE_ADD = "inventory";
  public static final String COLUMN_ID = "_id";
  public static final String COLUMN_QUANTITY = "quantity";
  public static final String COLUMN_PRICE_PER_UNIT="price_per_unit";
  public static final String COLUMN_TIMESTAMP="added_at";
  public static final String COLUMN_ADD_TYPE="add_type";
  
  private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "inventory.db";
  private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;

  // Database creation sql statement
  private static final String DATABASE_CREATE = "create table "
      + TABLE_ADD + "(" + COLUMN_ID
      + " text primary key, " + COLUMN_QUANTITY
      + " integer not null, "+COLUMN_PRICE_PER_UNIT
      +" integer not null, "+COLUMN_TIMESTAMP+" text, "+
      COLUMN_ADD_TYPE+" text not null );";

  public MySQLiteHelper(Context context) {
    super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
  }

  @Override
  public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase database) {
    database.execSQL(db_create);
  }

  @Override
  public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
    Log.w(MySQLiteHelper.class.getName(),
        "Upgrading database from version " + oldVersion + " to "
            + newVersion + ", which will destroy all old data");
    db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + TABLE_ADD);
    onCreate(db);
  }

}

UPDATE: Bellow is my log after editing my table name to inventory, and column timestamp to added_at as suggested in the answers:

It says no such table inventory.

You have no table called inventory: public static final String TABLE_ADD = "add"; — Phantômaxx

After fixing onCreate() e.g. uninstall your app so that the database gets recreated. stackoverflow.com/questions/21881992/… — laalto

The problem is, that add is an SQLite Keyword. You'll have to escape it in your querys (the insert and the select):

INSERT INTO "add" (timestamp,add_type,price_per_unit,quantity,_id) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)

Generally, it's a good idea to name tables and columns after their logical content, not their datatyp. I'd rename your timestamp column to something like added_at. The table-name should hold more information on exactly what is being added to it. For example AddArticle.

Change the table name from ADD to something else. The SQL standard specifies a huge number of keywords which may not be used as the names of tables, indices, columns, databases, user-defined functions, collations, virtual table modules, or any other named object. ADD is one such keyword. Reference here.
