android code to fetch data from database

I have used database this way. You can try this way. You first create ContactDbAdapter class file like below..

public class ContactDbAdapter {

  public static final String KEY_NAME = "name";
  public static final String KEY_SCORE = "score";
  public static final String KEY_ROWID = "_id";

   private static final String DATABASE_CREATE = "create table contactdetails (_id integer primary key autoincrement,"
        + "name text not null, score integer not null);";

  private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "contacts";
  private static final String DATABASE_TABLE = "contactdetails";
  private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 3;

  public static final String TAG = "ContactDbAdapter";

private final Context mCtx;
private DatabaseHelper mDbHelper;
private SQLiteDatabase mDb;

private static class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
    DatabaseHelper(Context context) {
        super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {

        db.execSQL(DATABASE_CREATE);
    }

    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
        Log.w(TAG, "Upgrading database from version " + oldVersion + " to "
                + newVersion + ", which will destroy all old data");
        db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS contactdetails");
        onCreate(db);
    }

}

public ContactDbAdapter open() throws SQLiteException {
    mDbHelper = new DatabaseHelper(mCtx);       
    try {
        mDb = mDbHelper.getWritableDatabase();
        } catch (SQLiteException ex) {
          mDb = mDbHelper.getReadableDatabase();
        }
    return this;
}

public ContactDbAdapter(Context ctx) {
    this.mCtx = ctx;
}

public void close() {
    mDbHelper.close();
}

public long createContact(String name, int score) {
    ContentValues initialValues = new ContentValues();
    initialValues.put(KEY_NAME, name);
    initialValues.put(KEY_SCORE, score);       

    return mDb.insert(DATABASE_TABLE, null, initialValues);
}

public int updateEntry(long _rowIndex, String name, int score) {

      String where = KEY_ROWID + "=" + _rowIndex;

      ContentValues initialValues = new ContentValues();
      initialValues.put(KEY_NAME, name);
      initialValues.put(KEY_SCORE, score);       

      // TODO fill in the ContentValue based on the new object
      return mDb.update(DATABASE_TABLE, initialValues, where, null);
    }

public boolean deleteContact(long rowId) {
    Toast.makeText(this.mCtx, "RowID:" + rowId, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    return mDb.delete(DATABASE_TABLE, KEY_ROWID + "=" + rowId, null) > 0;
}

public Cursor fetchAllContacts() {
    String order = KEY_SCORE + " DESC ";
    return mDb.query(DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {KEY_ROWID, KEY_NAME,
            KEY_SCORE}, null, null, null, null, order);
   }

}

And than you can call directly this way in you activity java class.

 private ContactDbAdapter mDbHelper;
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       mDbHelper = new ContactDbAdapter(this);
       mDbHelper.open();

   Cursor cursor = mDbHelper.fetchAllContacts();
   startManagingCursor(cursor);
}

So this will fetch all the records from the table. And then cursor will be used in the same way as you used.
