private DatabaseHandler ourDb;
private static Context ourContext;
private SQLiteDatabase sdb;
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
     setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_menu);
     ourDb = new DatabaseHandler(ourContext);
     sdb =ourDb.getWritableDatabase();

Error is in your context. It is null

ourDb = new DatabaseHandler(ourContext);

initialize your context with 

ourContext=  MainActivity.this;

or pass "getApplicationContext()", "this" in your initialization

ourDb = new DatabaseHandler(MainActivity.this);

The Context you passed to DatabaseHandler is null.

Since you seem to be in an Activity, use this instead of uninitialized ourContext.
