I'm new to android programming! I have a MainActivity in which the onCreate looks like this:
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
DBHandler db = new DBHandler(this);
db.onUpgrade(db.getWritableDatabase(), 1, 2); // I have to figure out how to make the app create the database on install and not on app launch
//Here all tables are filled up. It's hardcoded as the data is not intented to be changed by the user
String ATABLENAME = "aTableName";
db.addKeyPoint(new AKeyPoint(1, "sometext", 167, "areference"), ATABLENAME);
db.addKeyPoint(new AKeyPoint(2, "someothertext", 0, "anotherreference"), ATABLENAME);
}
I also have an InitActivity, that launches upon the press of a button. Within this I have a ListFragment that implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks:
public static class KeyFragment extends ListFragment implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<Cursor>{
private SimpleCursorAdapter adapter;
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
// the desired columns to be bound
String[] columns = new String[] { "question1","answer1" };
// the XML defined views which the data will be bound to
int[] to = new int[] { R.id.question, R.id.answer };
adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(getActivity(),R.layout.key_list_entry, null, columns, to, 0);
this.setListAdapter(adapter);
LoaderManager lm = this.getLoaderManager();
lm.initLoader(1, null, this);
}
public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int id, Bundle args) {
final SimpleCursorLoader scloader = new SimpleCursorLoader(getActivity()) {
@Override
public Cursor loadInBackground() {
final DBHandler db = new DBHandler(getActivity());
Cursor c = db.getKeyPointCursor(1, "Crataegus");
db.close();
return c;
}
};
return scloader;
}
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor cursor) {
adapter.swapCursor(cursor);
}
public void onLoaderReset(Loader<Cursor> loader) {
adapter.swapCursor(null);
}
}
}
I use the the SimpleCursorLoader with the LoaderManager. It can be found here: https://github.com/browep/AndroidCursorLoaderTutorial/blob/master/src/com/github/browep/cursorloader/SimpleCursorLoader.java . In my onCreateLoader the loadInBackGround retrieves a Cursor in the following way
Cursor c = db.getKeyPointCursor(anInt, "aTableName");
and returns it.
In my databasehandler (db) the getKeyPointCursor looks like this:
public Cursor getKeyPointCursor(int keyPointID, String tableName){
Log.v("bae", "Now in getKeyPointCursor, attempting to get readable database");
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
Log.v("bae", "Success... attempting to obtain a cursor");
Cursor cursor = db.query(tableName, null, KEY_POINTID + "=?",
new String[] { String.valueOf(keyPointID) }, null, null, null, null);
Log.v("bae", "Success... closing db and returning cursor");
db.close();
return cursor;
}
It prints the "Now in getKeyPointCursor, attempting to get readable database" and then throws a NullPointerException:

I'm suspecting that I'm not working on the same database somehow or maybe that I pass the wrong context to my databasehandler? Anyways I desperately need help to solve this!
