This is an inventory app. Earlier I was interacting with the SQLite database and the app worked well but when I added the concept of content resolver the app crashed.Plz help

private void displayDatabaseInfo() {
        //InventoryDbHelper mDbHelper = new InventoryDbHelper(this);
        //SQLiteDatabase db = mDbHelper.getReadableDatabase();
        String[] projection = {
                InventoryEntry._ID,
                InventoryEntry.PRODUCT_NAME,
                InventoryEntry.PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION,
                InventoryEntry.PRODUCT_PRICE,
                InventoryEntry.PRODUCT_QUANTITY,
                InventoryEntry.PRODUCT_IMAGE
        };
        /**Cursor cursor = db.query(InventoryEntry.TABLE_NAME,projection,null,null,null,null,null);**/
        Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(InventoryEntry.CONTENT_URI,projection,null,null,null);
        //Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(InventoryEntry.CONTENT_URI,projection,null,null,null);
        TextView displayView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text_view);
        try {
            displayView.setText("Number of rows in table are " + cursor.getCount() + "\n\n");
            displayView.append(InventoryEntry._ID + "-" + InventoryEntry.PRODUCT_NAME + "\n");
            int idColumnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(InventoryEntry._ID);
            int nameColumnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(InventoryEntry.PRODUCT_NAME);
            while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
                int currentID = cursor.getInt(idColumnIndex);
                String currentName = cursor.getString(nameColumnIndex);
                displayView.append("\n" + currentID + "-" + currentName);
            }

        } finally {
            cursor.close();
        }
    }

The problem is you are appending the strings to a text view which is not valid. Instead use StringBuilder for appending strings. Then afterwards set that string to text view. Please refer below code for example.

    private void displayDatabaseInfo() {
    //InventoryDbHelper mDbHelper = new InventoryDbHelper(this);
    //SQLiteDatabase db = mDbHelper.getReadableDatabase();
    String[] projection = {
            InventoryEntry._ID,
            InventoryEntry.PRODUCT_NAME,
            InventoryEntry.PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION,
            InventoryEntry.PRODUCT_PRICE,
            InventoryEntry.PRODUCT_QUANTITY,
            InventoryEntry.PRODUCT_IMAGE
    };
    /**Cursor cursor = db.query(InventoryEntry.TABLE_NAME,projection,null,null,null,null,null);**/
    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(InventoryEntry.CONTENT_URI,projection,null,null,null);
    //Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(InventoryEntry.CONTENT_URI,projection,null,null,null);
    TextView displayView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text_view);
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("");
    try {
        sb.append("Number of rows in table are " + cursor.getCount() + "\n\n");
        sb.append(InventoryEntry._ID + "-" + InventoryEntry.PRODUCT_NAME + "\n");
        int idColumnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(InventoryEntry._ID);
        int nameColumnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(InventoryEntry.PRODUCT_NAME);
        while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
            int currentID = cursor.getInt(idColumnIndex);
            String currentName = cursor.getString(nameColumnIndex);
            sb.append("\n" + currentID + "-" + currentName);
        }
        displayView.setText(sb.toString());
    } finally {
        cursor.close();
    }
}
