Can't read data from database
Xamarine
Raed two field from database id and name

Error

System.IndexOutOfRangeException: 'Index was outside the bounds of the array.'


Please some advice

What I have tried:

private async void LoadNotes()
       {
           MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(Constants.connectionString);
           await conn.OpenAsync();

           MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(Constants.selectAllQuery, conn);
           cmd.Connection = conn;

           MySqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();

           if (rdr.HasRows)
           {
               while (rdr.Read())
               {
                   notes.Add(rdr[0]);
                   notes.Add(rdr[1]);
               }
               rdr.Close();

               lstNotes.Adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleExpandableListItem1, notes);
           }
       }

The most likely cause is that your Constants.selectAllQuery query - which you haven't shown - is only returning a single column.

Try executing that query in your database to see what results you get.

You can either work around the problem by checking the rdr.FieldCount before trying to access the columns. Or you can fix the problem by correcting your query to return the expected number of columns.

The error System.IndexOutOfRangeException: 'Index was outside the bounds of the array.' indicates that you are trying to access an index in an array that does not exist. This is likely happening in the part of the code where you are accessing the elements from the rdr object. It's important to ensure that the index you are accessing is within the bounds of the array.

Here's a revised version of your code that ensures the indices are within the bounds of the array:

C#
private async Task<List<string>> LoadNotes()
{
    List<string> notes = new List<string>();

    try
    {
        using (MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(Constants.connectionString))
        {
            await conn.OpenAsync();

            using (MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(Constants.selectAllQuery, conn))
            {
                using (MySqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
                {
                    while (rdr.Read())
                    {
                        // Check if the columns are not null
                        if (!rdr.IsDBNull(0))
                        {
                            notes.Add(rdr.GetString(0)); // Assuming the first column is of type string
                        }
                        if (!rdr.IsDBNull(1))
                        {
                            notes.Add(rdr.GetString(1)); // Assuming the second column is of type string
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    catch (MySqlException ex)
    {
        // Handle the exception or log the error
        Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message);
    }

    return notes;
}

Make sure, before accessing the data from the reader, we check whether the index is valid and the value is not null using the IsDBNull method. Make sure the indices 0 and 1 correspond to the existing columns in your database. Also, make sure that the data types retrieved match the types you are trying to store in the notes list.

"Here's a revised version of your code that ensures the indices are within the bounds of the array:"

Except it does no such thing. If the query only returns a single column, your revised code will still throw an IndexOutOfRangeException.
