Following the notepad example in the SDK i have created my ContentProvider class, my BaseColumns class and added the provider to the manifest file.
Manifest: <provider android:name="com.smithmyers.providers.MGProvider" android:authorities="com.smithmyers.providers.MGScans" /> Provider and BaseColumns classes are almost identical to the NotePad example though using my content URI and a slightly different table in my database. in onCreate in my activity i have the following code: Intent intent = getIntent(); if (intent.getData() == null) { intent.setData(Scans.CONTENT_URI); } getContentResolver().insert(intent.getData(), null); >From this code i get this error: Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.smithmyers.smmobileapps/c at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java: 2496) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java: 2512) at android.app.ActivityThread.access$2200(ActivityThread.java: 119) at android.app.ActivityThread $H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1863) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4363) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit $MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:860) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:618) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper.getWritableDatabase(SQLiteOpenHelper.java: 98) at com.smithmyers.providers.MGProvider.insert(MGProvider.java: 107) at android.content.ContentProvider $Transport.insert(ContentProvider.java:150) at android.content.ContentResolver.insert(ContentResolver.java: 629) at com.smithmyers.smmobileapps.mobilegoose.MobileGoose.onCreate(MobileGoose.java: 56) at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(Instrumentation.java: 1047) at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java: 2459) Any suggestions?
