Android Database Application going wrong

I have created a simple Android application which asks for the users information such as name, blood type, contact number, etc., saves it in a database, and displays it in another screen. This is all suppose to happen when the save button is clicked which invokes the saveMe() method. However, when I click the save button, the app does not crash and close instead it gets stuck and then in the logcat I see something like:
08-08 22:41:23.734: D/dalvikvm(365): GC_FOR_MALLOC freed 321K, 50% free 2984K/5959K, external 716K/1038K, paused 18ms

08-08 22:41:23.934: D/dalvikvm(365): GC_FOR_MALLOC freed 327K, 50% free
These messages keep appearing in log cat. The only way I can stop them is if I close the emulator. Is the app getting stuck in a infinite loop? No data get saved or displayed.

You're missing c.moveToNext() in your databaseToString() while loop and the loop never terminates.

The Button isn’t working at all.

The below exception from xmlToVar method is the problem, you are calling this in addButtonClicked method
java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid int: ""
If the value in Age field is not entered then this error will happen if you make empty check before calling
Age = Integer.parseInt(age.getText().toString());
should solve the issue

Validate input before you use parseInt in xmlToVar():
String ageStr = age.getText().toString();
if (ageStr != "")
r.age = Integer.parseInt(ageStr);
You can also initialize Integer age, if there can be a default value.

You need to provide information about the following :
i) Did you try to debug ?
ii) If yes, does the cursor get any data ?
Now a different approach to the problem :
Create class of data [makes it easier to handle, i.e store and fetch from database]
example :
Class :
public class NoticeInformation {
private String NoticeType, NoticeHeader, NoticeLink;
private int Important, NoticeId, Read;
public NoticeInformation(int NoticeId,
String NoticeType,
String NoticeHeader,
String NoticeLink,
int Important,
int Read){
this.NoticeId = NoticeId;
this.NoticeType = NoticeType;
this.NoticeHeader = NoticeHeader;
this.NoticeLink = NoticeLink;
this.Important = Important;
this.Read = Read;
}
public int getNoticeId() {
return NoticeId;
}
public void setNoticeId(int noticeId) {
NoticeId = noticeId;
}
public String getNoticeType() {
return NoticeType;
}
public void setNoticeType(String noticeType) {
NoticeType = noticeType;
}
public String getNoticeHeader() {
return NoticeHeader;
}
public void setNoticeHeader(String noticeHeader) {
NoticeHeader = noticeHeader;
}
public String getNoticeLink() {
return NoticeLink;
}
public void setNoticeLink(String noticeLink) {
NoticeLink = noticeLink;
}
public int getImportant() {
return Important;
}
public void setImportant(int important) {
Important = important;
}
public int getRead() {
return Read;
}
public void setRead(int read) {
Read = read;
}
}
Database Read :
public List<NoticeInformation> getScheduleNotice(){
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
List<NoticeInformation> res = new ArrayList<>();
String Query = "SELECT * FROM " + TABLE_NAME1 + " WHERE NoticeType = 'Schedule';";
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(Query, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()){
cursor.moveToFirst();
do
{
NoticeInformation obj = new NoticeInformation(cursor.getInt(0), cursor.getString(1),
cursor.getString(2), cursor.getString(3), cursor.getInt(5),
cursor.getInt(4));
res.add(obj);
}while(cursor.moveToNext());
return res;
}
return null;
}
Instead of handling cursor in the application end, just have the data in a list. It is easier to handle [in my humble opinion].
Try this approach and let me know the result.

Android : How to retrieve specific column in spinner from Sqlite

I work with SQLite database in my Android application.I want only one column retrieved in spinner. When I run the application ,the application is crashing. And my log cat shows:

Man, you are only quering single column in your statement and requesting for second, just use below method, I only changed Index from 1 to Zero.
public List<String> getAllLabels(){
List<String> labels = new ArrayList<String>();
// Select All Query
String selectQuery = " SELECT " + KEY_PRODUCTS_NAME + " FROM "+ TABLE_DEFINE_PRODUCT_NAME;
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
// looping through all rows and adding to list
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
labels.add(cursor.getString(0));
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
// closing connection
cursor.close();
db.close();
// returning lables
return labels;
}

Your call to getAdapter is returning null because you're calling it before setAdapter, try this instead :
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
int pos = listView.getAdapter().getCount() -1;
listView.getAdapter().getItemId(pos);

The problem is in
List<placetypes> placetypes = db.getAllPlacetypes();
The query you are using is wrong. It should be
`SELECT * FROM table_places INNER JOIN placetypes ON placetypes.type_id=table_places.type_id WHERE placetypes.place_name="+typeName+`"

Any solutions to this error?

I think it is on the getID() clause but I can't see anything wrong with it nor my SELECT statetment. What I am trying to do here is to get the value of the saved_ip_address which is at the very bottom of the ipaddress table.
Here is my LogCat where the start of error is bolded out.
