Answer 1

You didn't initialize db before using it. Add this to your onCreate()..

SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();

Answer 2

Nothing to do. Just in your XML file's Button attribute remove

android:onClick

And in your activity type:-

LoginButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
@Override
    onClick(){
        LogIn();
      }
});

I also faced this problem. Yeah, I know that your process is also not wrong. But the truth is I just don't know why that process doesn't work (for me). But when I implement onClick method programmatically then it works like a charm. And I hope you will also get your code working

And also add onCreate method

db = getWritableDatabase();
