Spinner not being populated by SQLite table

i'm quite new to qndroid so please forgive me if this question seems quite straight forward.

i'm trying to load a spinner using information from a SQLite table i'm creating from the data helper class.

the project seems to load up o.k. however none of the information from the SQLite tabe loads into the spinner?

below is the code. I appreciate all help provided.

thanks,

Try this code.

It works for me.

AdapterCountries = new ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>(this,
                         android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
                         AdapterCountries
                         .setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
                         spin.setAdapter(AdapterCountries);
                         spin.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());




              allElementDetails.clear();
              db1.open();
               // long id;


                Cursor cursor = db1.getAllTitles1();
                while (cursor.moveToNext())
                {


                    results=cursor.getString(2);


                    AdapterCountries.add(results);

                }
                db1.close();

In My Adapter class

public Cursor getAllTitles1() 
    {
        return db.query(DATABASE_TABLE1, new String[] {
                KEY_ROWID,
                DISHNAME,
                CATEGORY,
                DESCRIPTION,

                null, 
                null, 
                null, 
                null, 
                null);
    }
