Android SQLite throws Failed to read row 0, column -1 from a CursorWindow

Today I wanted to implement a simple SQLite database into my messaging app that should take care of saving messages, unfortunately I am not able to read back the data from the Database and display them into a ListView.

I looked into the database via ADB on my emulator and I saw that the data is saved correctly.

Here is my code

Initialisation of the TABLE with a empty column

db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Messages(zero);");

Creating of a column with the chat contact as the column name

public void addMessagetoDB(String message, String from) {
    Toast.makeText(this.getApplicationContext(), "msg msg", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    try
    {
        db.execSQL("ALTER TABLE Messages ADD COLUMN '" + from + "' TEXT");
    }
    catch (android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException e)
    {

    }
    db.execSQL("INSERT INTO Messages ('" + from + "') VALUES('" + message + "');");
}

Here I can also see that SQLite recognizes my column names, because when I send multiple messages to my client I get the debug messages

E/SQLiteLog﹕ (1) duplicate column name: test@zapp.org

This is my readout which won't work

public void updateView(String from) {
        Cursor crs = zapp.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM Messages", null);
        while (crs.moveToNext()) {
            String name = crs.getString(crs.getColumnIndex(from));
            messages.add(name);
        }
        arrayAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}

This is my exception

As one can see SQLite is trying to get the column name, which matches the one I am saving the messages to, but the somehow then reads column -1

I didn't find a solution for this behavior

Thanks
