Error with inserting data into sqlite database

Question

I'm trying to insert data into SqLite database by using a dialog wrapper. However, I am unable to do so. I have 2 texts called Title and Template to insert into the database. But it crashes. Below is my java code:
@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { menu.add(0,MENU_ITEM_INSERT,0,R.string.menu_insert); return true; }

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
    switch(item.getItemId())
    {
        case MENU_ITEM_INSERT:
            insert();
            //startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT,getIntent().getData()));
            return true;
    }
    return(super.onOptionsItemSelected(item));
}

@Override 
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu,View v,ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo)
{
    AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info;
    try {
         info = (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo;
    } catch (ClassCastException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "bad menuInfo", e);
        return;
    }

    mCursor = (Cursor) getListAdapter().getItem(info.position);

    menu.setHeaderTitle(mCursor.getString(COLUMN_INDEX_TITLE));

    menu.add(0,MENU_ITEM_DELETE,0 ,R.string.menu_delete);
    menu.add(1,MENU_ITEM_ADDTMESSAGE,1,R.string.menu_add);
}

@Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
    AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info;
    try {
         info = (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo();
    } catch (ClassCastException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "bad menuInfo", e);
        return false;
    }

    switch(item.getItemId())
    {
        case MENU_ITEM_DELETE:
            //delete selected row
            delete(info.id);
            return true;
        case MENU_ITEM_ADDTMESSAGE:
            //ADD TO MESSAGE
            return true;
    }
    return(super.onContextItemSelected(item));
}

private void insert()
{
    LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
    View addView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.templates_editor,null);
    final DialogWrapper wrapper = new DialogWrapper(addView);

    new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
    .setTitle(R.string.menu_insert)
    .setView(addView)
    .setPositiveButton(R.string.item_ok,new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
            processInsert(wrapper);
        }
    })
    .setNegativeButton(R.string.item_cancel,new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
            // ignore, just dismiss
        }
    })
    .show();
}

    if(rowId > 0)

                        .setPositiveButton(R.string.item_ok, 
                                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                                processDelete(rowId);
                            }
                        })
                        .setNegativeButton(R.string.item_cancel,

                                    }
                                }).show();
    }
}

private void processDelete(long rowId)

    cv.put("title", wrapper.getTitle());
    cv.put("template", wrapper.getTemplate());

    db.getWritableDatabase().insert("Templates", "title", cv);
    db.getWritableDatabase().insert("Templates", "template", cv);
    mCursor.requery();
}

class DialogWrapper{
    EditText titleField = null;
    EditText templateField = null;
    View base = null;

    DialogWrapper(View base) {
        this.base = base;
    }

    String getTitle(){
        return(getTitleField().getText().toString());
    }

    String getTemplate(){
        return(getTemplateField().getText().toString());            
    }

    private EditText getTitleField(){
        if(titleField == null){
            titleField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.title);
        }
        return titleField;
    }

    private EditText getTemplateField(){
        if(templateField == null){
            templateField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.template);
        }
        return templateField;
    }
}

Answer 1

It's hard to tell without line numbers in your code to match the traceback but I'm guessing that (EditText) findViewById(R.id.title) is returning null. Check your app in hierarchyviewer at the time you're doing the insert and make sure the view you think is there in the hierarchy is actually there at the time you're processing the insert code.
