NullPointerException SQLiteAssetHelper

Question

I am trying to get a list of information from my database and display that into a custom listview. I already have my DatabaseHelper, Fragment, and Adapter setup. Here are the errors I am receiving:

Here is my WorkoutsDatabaseHelper.java

package com.rcd.mypr.Workouts;

import android.content.Context;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;

import com.readystatesoftware.sqliteasset.SQLiteAssetHelper;

public class WorkoutsDatabaseHelper extends SQLiteAssetHelper {


    // All Static variables
    // Database Version
    private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;

    // Database Name
    private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "workoutsDatabase.sqlite";
    private static final String WORKOUTS_TABLE = "workouts";

    // Workouts Table Columns names
    private static final String KEY_ID = "_id";
    private static final String KEY_WORKOUT_NAME = "workout_name";
    private static final String KEY_HERO_LAST_NAME = "hero_last_name";
    private static final String KEY_HERO_FIRST_NAME = "hero_first_name";
    private static final String KEY_HERO_MIDDLE_NAME = "hero_middle_name";
    private static final String KEY_HERO_DESCRIPTION = "hero_description";
    private static final String KEY_DATE_ADDED = "date_added";
    private static final String KEY_WORKOUT = "workout";
    private static final String KEY_MEASUREMENT = "measurement";
    private static final String KEY_PHOTO = "photo";



    public WorkoutsDatabaseHelper(Context context) {
        super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
    }

    public Cursor getWorkoutNames() {

        SQLiteDatabase db = getReadableDatabase();
        Cursor cursor = db.query(WORKOUTS_TABLE, new String[] {"_id", "workout_name"}, null, null, null,
                null, KEY_WORKOUT_NAME + " ASC");
        return cursor;

    }


 }

And Lastly, here is my WorkoutsFragment.java

package com.rcd.mypr.Workouts;

import android.app.Fragment;
import android.content.Context;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ListView;

import com.rcd.mypr.R;


public class WorkoutsFragment extends Fragment {

    WorkoutsDatabaseHelper db;
    SimpleCursorAdapter adapter;
    ListView listContent;
    private int position;
    Cursor cursor;
    private Context mContext;
    WorkoutsAdapter workoutsAdapter;

    public WorkoutsFragment(){}


    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        db = new WorkoutsDatabaseHelper(mContext);
        mContext = getActivity();
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_workouts, container, false);

        listContent = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(android.R.id.list);

        // Create the Adapter
        workoutsAdapter = new WorkoutsAdapter(mContext, cursor);

        // Set the adapter to ListView
        listContent.setAdapter(workoutsAdapter);
        return rootView;
    }



    private void initViews(){
        //Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(mContext.getAssets(),"Roboto-Light.ttf");
    }

    private void addItemsToList(){
        Cursor cursor = db.getWorkoutNames();
        Log.d("history.java", "finished Cursor cursor = db.getAllLogs();");
        String[] from = {"_id", "workouts_name"};
        int[] to = {R.id.tv_id, R.id.tv_label};
        adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(mContext, R.layout.single_item, cursor, from, to, 0);
        listContent.setAdapter(adapter);

    }

    public void onResume(){
        super.onResume();
        workoutsAdapter = new WorkoutsAdapter(mContext, cursor);
        listContent.setAdapter(workoutsAdapter);
    }


}

If there is anything else you need to see please let me know.

Answer 1

The error is in the onCreateView()-method of your Fragment. You initialize your WorkoutsDatabaseHelper with a null Context.

    db = new WorkoutsDatabaseHelper(mContext);
    mContext = getActivity();

Switch these two lines and try again...
