try this:
String text = results.getString(columnIndex);
or loop thru the ResultSetMetaData as follows:
String text = results.getString(resultSetMetaData, columnName);
function getColumnIndex(ResultSetMetaData rsmd, String columnName){
     int numCols = rsmd.getColumnCount();
     for (i=1; i <= numCols; i++){           
          if(rsmd.getColumnName(i).equalsIgnoreCase(columnName)){
               return i;
     return -1;
