Quite frequently I get the following exception and I'm really entirely sure 
what to do about it.

    java.lang.RuntimeException: An error occured while executing

I am accessing a ContentProvider (NotificationProvider here) via an 
AsyncTask. The ContentProvider uses a database of course.

    @Override
    public int delete(Uri uri, String selection, String[] selectionArgs)
    {
        SQLiteDatabase  db = database.getWritableDatabase();
        int numDeleted = database.delete(NotificationTable.TABLE_NAME, 
selection, selectionArgs);
        return numDeleted;
    }

I'm a bit stumped about what to do here. It's clearly a threading issue I 
think, so I'm thinking of everytime I get the database, I do it from a 
synchronized method in 1 class. Is this a good idea?
