Question

This is a small assignment to insert simple text data to sqlite database. I have used SQLiteOpenHelper class for this and used given code. I've found some similiar questions here but not the exact same. Please help me out. Here is the exception-

I've used following permissions in my AndroidManifest.XML file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

this is my DBHelper class-

public class DBHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

public static final String DATABASE_NAME = "CANDIDATES";
public static final String TABLE_NAME = "CANDIDATES_TABLE";
public static final String NAME = "NAME";
public static final String AGE = "AGE";
public static final String QUAL = "QUALIFICATION";
public static final String SALARY = "SALARY";
public static final String ADD = "ADDRESS";
public static final String DES = "DESCRIPTION";
Context context;


public DBHelper(Context context) {
    super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, 1);
    this.context=context;
}

@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
    db.execSQL("create table "+ TABLE_NAME +" ("+NAME+" TEXT,"+AGE+" INTEGER,"+QUAL+" TEXT,"+SALARY+" INTEGER,"+ADD+" TEXT,"+DES+" TEXT )");

}

public boolean insertData(String name,int age,String qual,int salary, String add, String des){
    SQLiteDatabase db=this.getWritableDatabase();
    ContentValues contentValues=new ContentValues();
    contentValues.put(NAME,name);
    contentValues.put(AGE,age);
    contentValues.put(QUAL,qual);
    contentValues.put(SALARY,salary);
    contentValues.put(ADD,add);
    contentValues.put(DES,des);
    long result=db.insert(TABLE_NAME,null,contentValues);
    Log.v("check",name+age+""+qual+salary+""+add+des);
    if(result==-1){
        return false;
    }
    else return true;
}

public Cursor getData(){
    SQLiteDatabase db=this.getWritableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor=db.rawQuery("Select * from"+TABLE_NAME,null);
    return cursor;
}
@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
    db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS "+TABLE_NAME);
    onCreate(db);
}

}

Thanks @Zoe. Could you please tell me which one? I've already tried many — Wijay Sharma, Nov 14 '17 at 18:08
Hi @EmreAktürk, I edited the question and added the permissions I've used in my Manifest file. Can you spot the problem now? — Wijay Sharma, Nov 14 '17 at 18:18
You also need ask READ_CONTACTs permission in runtime https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html — Marcos Vasconcelos, Nov 14 '17 at 18:45
Yep, you need ask for permissions for higher versions than marshmallow. — Emre Aktürk, Nov 14 '17 at 18:47

You need to ask runtime permissions. Adding manifest is not enough for newer versions.

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity,
            Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)
    != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

// Should we show an explanation?
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(thisActivity,
        Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)) {

    // Show an explanation to the user *asynchronously* -- don't block
    // this thread waiting for the user's response! After the user
    // sees the explanation, try again to request the permission.

} else {

    // No explanation needed, we can request the permission.

    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(thisActivity,
            new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS},
            MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS);

    // MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS is an
    // app-defined int constant. The callback method gets the
    // result of the request.
}
}

Hi @EmreAktürk, Sorry but I don't need to read contacts in my app. Its just a simple app to add data to the sqlite table. I don't know why app shows this exception on the run time. (Its not even crashing the app) — Wijay Sharma, Nov 15 '17 at 05:22
Hi @Wijay Sharma, There is a class that named DatabaseUtils that trying to read contacts. You can understand it from the first line of error log. This class should be in a dependency of you are using. If its not crashing, probably it is in try-catch block. — Emre Aktürk, Nov 16 '17 at 11:41

You need to add this line to your manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PROFILE"/>

please correct me if I am wrong. But there is no such permission – Wijay Sharma Nov 14 '17 at 18:16
[It doesn't exist](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html) – Zoe Nov 14 '17 at 18:21
You are wrong, it was removed at API level 23. Depending on its settings, you may still need to use – Maicon Hellmann Nov 14 '17 at 18:23

@MaiconHellmann that means it doesn't exist. Removed = unusable in newer APIs. – Zoe Nov 14 '17 at 18:25

My problem is solved by adding this permission to manifest:

android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS
