Adding Data to SQLiteDatabase

Question

I have a SQLite DB file in assets which is then imported in the application. The select query works fine and shows the results but at the same time if I try to insert data into the table it does not work. I get no error so that I can identify the problem.

DatabaseHelper class: addProject() method is to insert data.

public class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
    private static final int DB_VERSION=1;
    private static String DB_PATH="";
    private static final String DB_NAME="AndroidProject.sqlite";

    //Projects Table attrib
    String TABLE_PROJECT="Project";
    String KEY_PROJECT_ID = "_id";
    String KEY_PROJECT_NAME = "project_name";
    String KEY_PROJECT_DESC = "project_desc";
    String KEY_PROJECT_TYPE = "project_type";
    String KEY_PROJECT_START_DATE = "start_date";
    String KEY_PROJECT_END_DATE = "end_date";

    private SQLiteDatabase myDatabase;
    private final Context myContext;

    public DatabaseHelper(Context context) {
        super(context, DB_NAME, null, DB_VERSION);

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=15){
            DB_PATH=context.getApplicationInfo().dataDir + "/databases/";
        }
        else {
            DB_PATH= Environment.getDataDirectory() + "/data/" + context.getPackageName() + "/databases/";
        }
        this.myContext = context;
    }


    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {

    }

    public void  checkAndCopyDatabase(){
        boolean doExists=checkDatabase();
        if (doExists){
            Log.d("TAG", "Database alredy exists");
        }
        else{
            this.getReadableDatabase();
        }
        try {
            copyDatabase();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            Log.d("TAG", "Error Copying DATABASE");
        }
    }

    public boolean checkDatabase(){
        SQLiteDatabase checkDB=null;
        try {
            String myPath=DB_PATH+DB_NAME;
            checkDB=SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(myPath,null,SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READWRITE);
        }catch (SQLiteException e){

        }
        if (checkDB != null) {
            checkDB.close();
        }

        return checkDB != null ? true : false;
    }

    public void copyDatabase() throws IOException {
        InputStream myInput = myContext.getAssets().open(DB_NAME);
        String outFileName = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;
        OutputStream myOutput = new FileOutputStream(outFileName);
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        int length;

        while ((length=myInput.read(buffer))>0){
            myOutput.write(buffer,0,length);
        }
        myOutput.flush();
        myOutput.close();
        myInput.close();
    }

    public void openDatabase(){
        String myPath = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;
        myDatabase=SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(myPath,null,SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READWRITE);
    }

    public synchronized void close(){
        if (myDatabase != null){
            myDatabase.close();
        }

        super.close();
    }

    public Cursor QueryData(String query){
        return myDatabase.rawQuery(query,null);
    }


    public void addProject(SqlProjects blog){

            //SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
            ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
            values.put(KEY_PROJECT_NAME, blog.get_project_name());
            values.put(KEY_PROJECT_DESC, blog.get_project_desc());
            values.put(KEY_PROJECT_TYPE, blog.get_project_type());
            values.put(KEY_PROJECT_START_DATE, blog.get_project_start_date());
            values.put(KEY_PROJECT_END_DATE, blog.get_project_end_date());


            try {
                Log.d("TAG", "Adding data");
                myDatabase.insertOrThrow(TABLE_PROJECT, null, values);
            } catch (SQLiteException e) {

                e.printStackTrace();
            }




        myDatabase.close();
    }
}

I think you have forgot to open the database before insert operation.

btnAddProjects.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            if (!(TextUtils.isEmpty(editName.getText().toString())) && !(TextUtils.isEmpty(editDesc.getText().toString())) && !(tvStartDate.getText().equals("")) && !(tvEndDate.getText().equals(""))) {
                //open db before any operation
                db.openDatabase();
                db.addProject(new SqlProjects(editName.getText().toString(), editDesc.getText().toString(), editType.getSelectedItem().toString(), tvStartDate.getText().toString(), tvEndDate.getText().toString()));

                editName.setText("");
                editDesc.setText("");
                tvStartDate.setText("");
                tvEndDate.setText("");

                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Added Successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                onBackPressed();
            }
        }
    });

Seems like the issue anyways check it out!
