Problem inserting new record into SQLite on Android

Question

The line "return db.insert(DATABASE_TABLE, null, initialValues);" is returning a null pointer and I cant figure out why! I'd be grateful for any help

public class Database extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);        
    DBAdapter db = new DBAdapter(this);
    if(db != null){
     long id = db.insertUser("test", "test");
     Cursor c = db.getUser(id);        
     Log.d("DB", c.getString(1));
     Log.d("DB", c.getString(2));
    }
    db.close();
}
}

    public static final String KEY_ROWID = "_id";

Getwriteabledatabase has to be called before that insert. I see it in open() but I'm not seeing where open gets called. That's my best guess as to what's wrong.
