Debug android application

Question

I am developing an Android application where I get the following exception while writing to the database:

An exception occurred: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException

But it doest say anything else(not even the stack trace).

In general I find it very difficult to debug android SDK exceptions.

Any suggestions/tips on how to debug while developing android applications?

I am using Eclipse to develop the application.

To get the stack trace, use adb logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse, to examine LogCat. — CommonsWare

Are you able to run the application within Eclipse in debug mode? Should be fairly straightforward then to get at least a stack trace. Can you elaborate a bit more on what the problem is so we can help you? — Maurits Rijk

If you have SQLite Exception, your query doesn't run. Get the database and try out your query in a SQLite Manager on your desktop. — Pentium10

You need to learn how to Debug in Eclipse and how to use the ADB and DDMS tools.

In order to get more details about an exception/force close you need to look for a view in Eclipse called Logcat(you will find in the DDMS perspective) there you will find a detailed traceback when/what and on what line is the issue.

For this you should read a complete article about Debugging in Android using Eclipse

Have a look at this question and answers, also Developer Android.

I reckon you first get your head around handling exceptions before tackling the SQLiteException.
