Cursor finalized without prior close() Android

You have to close the cursor before the database. Put your code in a try / catch block and in a finally block, close the cursor and then close the database:

try {    db = ...} catch(Exception ex) {     // Log the exception's message or whatever you like} finally {    try {      if( cursor != null && !cursor.isClosed())        cursor.close();       if( db.isOpen() )        db.close();    } catch(Exception ex) {}}

Closing sequence matters a lot while doing IO with DB or Content Providers.For more information refer this link

to find such problems just enable StrictMode for Debug Version like that:

public void onCreate() {     if (DEVELOPER_MODE) {         StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()                 .detectDiskReads()                 .detectDiskWrites()                 .detectNetwork()   // or .detectAll() for all detectable problems                 .penaltyLog()                 .build());         StrictMode.setVmPolicy(new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder()                 .detectLeakedSqlLiteObjects()                 .detectLeakedClosableObjects()                 .penaltyLog()                 .penaltyDeath()                 .build());     }     super.onCreate(); }

all the best,

Always, remember to close the cursor by calling cursor.close() before closing the database. That should fix your problem.
