Question

I have a basic database that calls on string into the database(well supposed to). Whenever I click the button to save the string into the data base I get an error in my log cat saying it did not write to the data base. the application keeps going but no info shows inside the database.

ENTRY METHOD

public long createEntryLat(String slat) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
    cv.put(KEY_LATITUDE, slat);
    return ourdb.insert(DATABASE_TABLE, null, cv);

}

LINE 73

    return ourdb.insert(DATABASE_TABLE, null, cv);

ONCLICK METHOUD

case R.id.button001:

    lat = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.textLat);
     String slat = lat.getText().toString();
        //String slon = lon.getText().toString();

        Database entries = new Database (this);
        entries.open();

        entries.createEntryLat(slat);
        entries.close();

        break;

LINE 131

Database entries = new Database (this);

I have no idea what I am doing wrong and would love any help thanks.

Answer 1

I had to uninstall my application then re-install it for my changes to take action.
