My .sql is on the raw folder if it has regards with the problem. I just get the code in gitHub and i will modify it for my thesis. Thanks and your answers will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The issue lies in below 2 lines :

    android:name="com.ultramegatech.ey.provider"
    android:authorities="com.ultramegatech.ey.provider.ElementsProvider"

they should be the other way around :

android:name="com.ultramegatech.ey.provider.ElementsProvider"
android:authorities="com.ultramegatech.ey.provider"

Also change the authority in the provider class. The android:name should point to the class name and not just the package. The authority can be the package name or anything else.
