I keep getting the following nullPointerException and I can’t quite figure it out any help would be greatly appreciated. The program query() from DB and then use adapter to populate ListView.
public class ViewListingsActivity extends Activity {
SQLiteDatabase db;
ListView listview;
Button button;
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter;
private static final String TAG = DBHelper.class.getSimpleName();
public static final String DB_ADDRESS = BaseColumns._ID;
public static final String DB_DESCRIPTION = "Description";
public static final String DB_URL = "URL";
final String dbTable = "Realtor_SMS_Table";
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.viewlisting);
listview = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
DBHelper dbhelper = new DBHelper(ViewListingsActivity.this);
db = dbhelper.getWritableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.query(dbTable, null, null, null, null, null, null);
startManagingCursor(cursor);
String[] from = new String[] { DB_ADDRESS, DB_DESCRIPTION, DB_URL };
int[] to = new int[] { R.id.textlistaddress, R.id.textlistdescription,
R.id.textlisturl };
adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.rowlist, cursor, from,
to);
listview.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}
here is my stack trace
