I want to create a database for my android application. I have written the code for a database in my project; whenever I run it shows “force close” on the emulator. I have tried different ways ,but nothing works. Where did I go wrong?

The stack trace points you to the exact line of code that is causing the problem:
While the stack trace can look confusing, it’s very useful. The key is to look past all of the Android classes, and trace it down to your class:
com.event.test.EventManagementActivity.onCreate(EventManagementActivity.java:21) … the 21 means line 21.
The null pointer exception usually means something is not instantiated. Debug, and step through to check your variables up to this line. You are referencing something null.
