Hi,

I'm using a class, say TEMP which extends activity to access a already created database. This activity doesn't have anything to do with UI. I am using TEMP only to insert and update records in a database.

From this class, i.e TEMP, i try to access the database helper of the database class.

There is no error when i pass an instance of TEMP.

This is the code called on opening the databasehelper at TEMP.

public SwapCard_mob open() throws SQLException
{
mDbHelper = new DatabaseHelper(mCtx);
mDb = mDbHelper.getWritableDatabase();
return this;
}

mDbHelper = new DatabaseHelper(mCtx); does not generate any error.

mDb = mDbHelper.getWritableDatabase(); raises a nullPointerException.

Here is the log.
