Can't find the reason for NullPointerException; Android

I have been getting a NullPointerExcpetion in the LogCat stack, and I can't seem to figure out why. I just hope some outside eyes will help me find the issue.

Here is the stack from LogCat:

    10-28 02:04:55.998: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(524):     at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)

The stack seems to be pointing to the saveState() method and the createSchedule() method. The relevant lines have been double asterisked.

saveState():

private void saveState() {
    String title = mTitleText.getText().toString();
    SimpleDateFormat dateTimeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_TIME_FORMAT);
    String scheduleDateTime = dateTimeFormat.format(mCalendar.getTime());

    if (mRowId == null) {
        **long id = mDbHelper.createSchedule(title, scheduleDateTime);**
        if(id > 0) {
            mRowId = id;
        }
    } else {
        mDbHelper.updateSchedule(mRowId, title, scheduleDateTime);
    }
}

createSchedule():

public long createSchedule(String title, String scheduleDateTime) {
    ContentValues initialValues = new ContentValues();
    initialValues.put(KEY_TITLE, title);
    initialValues.put(KEY_DATE_TIME, scheduleDateTime);
    **return mDb.insert(DATABASE_TABLE, null, initialValues);**
}

Please let me know if I need to post any other code. Thank you for any help that you can give me.

Regards, Jason

mDb seems to be NULL because this is the only variable that is global.
