projects not working after chapter 8

In every Earthquake Project is this error still inside the earthquakeprovider:

Code:

    private static final String DATABASE_CREATE =
      "create table " + EARTHQUAKE_TABLE + " (" 
      + KEY_ID + " integer primary key autoincrement, "
      + KEY_DATE + " INTEGER, "
      + KEY_DETAILS + " TEXT, "
      + KEY_LOCATION_LAT + " FLOAT, "
      + KEY_LOCATION_LNG + " FLOAT, "
      + KEY_MAGNITUDE + " FLOAT), "
      + KEY_LINK + " TEXT);";

But that was easy to fix! Otherwise its very sad that the error is still in the downloadable projects.

The "Where I am" project is working on my simulator but no location is shown, cant send a location to the simulator.
I am not sure why.

Chapter 9 Earthquake again forced close ;(

the first 5 chapter i was happy to find a book with good code i can type directly from the book. in chapter 6 the struggle begun, i had to check the downloaded projects and in after chapter 7 even when i import the downloaded project are not working! i am really upset now and even dont want to read on. :(
would be good if even the downloadable projects would work!
