attempt to reopen an already-closed object: sqlitequery

Question

So essentially I am querying the DB twice. I don't understand where this error is really coming from because I am not closing the DB anywhere. The code that returns the error runs like this. I've checked around and I just having seen a case like mine.

BeaconHandler pullAllDB = new BeaconHandler(this);
    try {
        List<Beacon> beaconsShown = pullAllDB.getAllBeacons();
        for (final Beacon bn : beaconsShown) {
            try {
                int messageCount = pullAllDB.getMessageCount();
                Log.d("Message", messageCount + " Messages Found");
                if (messageCount > 0) {
                    //Do Something
                } else {
                    // Do Nothing
                }
            } 
            catch (Exception e) {
                e.getStackTrace();
                Log.e("Message", e.getMessage());
            }
        }
    }

And the code doing the queries...

public int getBeaconsCount() {

    String countQuery = "SELECT * FROM " + TABLE_BASIC_BEACON;
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(countQuery, null);
    cursor.close();

    // return count
    return cursor.getCount();

}

public int getMessageCount() {

    String mcountQuery = "SELECT * FROM " + MESSAGE_BEACON;
    SQLiteDatabase mdb = this.getReadableDatabase();
    Cursor mcursor = mdb.rawQuery(mcountQuery, null);
    mcursor.close();

    // return count
    return mcursor.getCount();

}

You should post a logcat if you are getting an error. It helps to see which line is causing your problem.

From the Android docs.

close()

Closes the Cursor, releasing all of its resources and making it completely invalid.

Your call to mcursor.getCount() after you have closed it is likely causing the error

Maybe try something like this.

int count = mcursor.getCount();
mcursor.close();

// return count
return count ;
