I am trying to make an app in which I can store and view my daily lectures, using sqlite. Everything was working fine before i started using the content provider. Whenever I try to query from the database it returns a null cursor.
Moreover, I cant even add a new lecture to the database. It seems like my ContentProvider class is not working properly. But I have absolutely no idea of whats wrong in it. I have added the source code below.
I have been stuck here for quite long. So any help is highly appreciated!

Did you add your ContentProvider in Manifest?
<provider
android:authorities="@string/content_authority"
android:name=".package.ProviderClass"
android:exported="false"
android:syncable="true" />
android:exported is false if only your app has access to ContentProvider
