Android SQLiteException: bind or column index out of range: handle 0x2a0b88

Question

I am getting this error, when try to execute query below query- Also I am passing the values (uname,pass) from other java class. I tried to search the data in the table for both the values ie I am using both the parameters to search the data.

    public boolean validate(String uname, String pass) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    // SELECT
    String[] columns = { "_id" };

    // WHERE clause
    String selection = "user_name = ? AND _password";

    // WHERE clause arguments
    String[] selectionArgs = { uname, pass };

    Cursor cursor = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE, columns, selection,
            selectionArgs, null, null, null);
    try {
        if (cursor != null && cursor.getCount() > 0) {
            return true;
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();

    }

    return false;

}

Also, Please find the below logcat-

You are providing 2 arguments (uname, pass), but specify only a single placeholder ("?").

You probably wanted this:

// WHERE clause
String selection = "user_name = ? AND _password = ?";
