Hi everyone I’ve been having some difficulty, hope one of you can help. I’m trying to create a little program to store my timetable for college. I’ve been having some trouble with the SQlite database though, it’s got me stumped.
When I first run the program it force closes
I get this error in logcat
Caused by: android.database CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 0 requested. With a size of 0
When I go to open the application again the table is created and the app works fine.
I have no idea why the table is not being created the first time round.
Here’s the code.

public class Monday extends ListActivity {
int pos = 0, timeInt, count; 
String[] times = {"0900-1030","1040-1220","Lunch 1220-1325","1325-1455", "1500-1630"};


String[][] content;
String dayString = "Monday", timeString; 
EditText EditTextLesson, EditTextLocation, EditTextTutor, EditTextNotes; 
Button btnSave, btnCancel , btnDelete; 
Dialog edit;    
Intent zoom , mapweb;
Cursor all, getRow; 


MonDBAdapter mon;
DBAdapter db;
ListView lv;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
    super.onCreate(icicle);
    setContentView(R.layout.timetablelistview); 
    content= new String [10][10];
    edit = new Dialog(Monday.this); 
    lv = (ListView) findViewById(android.R.id.list);

    lv.addFooterView(buildFooter());
    zoom =new Intent(this,Zoom.class);  
    mapweb =new Intent(this,MapWebView.class); 

    db = new DBAdapter(this);
    db.open();
    mon = new MonDBAdapter(this); 

    mon.open(); 
    all = mon.getAllEntries();
    count = all.getCount();

    if(count < 4){          
        for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){ 
            mon.createEntry("", "", "", "");
        }

    }
    addSections();

}
public void onListItemClick(ListView parent, View v, int position, long id){  
     switch(position){ 
     case 1:

    If you got through the documentation of getReadableDatabase, it says

    Like getWritableDatabase(), this method may take a long time to return, so you should not call it from the application main thread, including from ContentProvider.onCreate()

    And what I see in your program, first you are calling this in constructor of DBAdapter

    this.DBHelper = new DatabaseHelper(this.context);
    this.DBHelper.getWritableDatabase();
    this.DBHelper.getReadableDatabase();
    

    and then in onCreate you are calling db.open(); where you are again calling this.DBHelper.getWritableDatabase();

    So, it might be possible yours database is not properly loaded. And try to do all this operation in background thread ex AsyncTask.

    Hope this help!!!
