Cannot access another class in android

I'm baffled by what is happening to my simple code. It just doesn't go into another class file even though I checked that code flows. Below is my code in android:

public class MedF1 extends ListActivity {

DrugsDbAdapter drugsDbAdapter = new DrugsDbAdapter(this);
DrugsDbAdapter.myDbHelper mDbHelper = new DrugsDbAdapter.myDbHelper(this);

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.drug_list);



    try {

        mDbHelper.createDataBase();

        } catch (IOException ioe) {

        throw new Error("Unable to create database");

        }

        try {

        mDbHelper.openDataBase();

        }catch(SQLException sqle){

        throw sqle;

        }

        populateDrugList();

}

public void populateDrugList() {

    Cursor drugListCursor = drugsDbAdapter.getAllEntries();

    startManagingCursor (drugListCursor);

    String[] from = new String[] {DrugsDbAdapter.KEY_DRUG};

    int[] to = new int[] {R.id.text1};

    SimpleCursorAdapter drugs = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.drug_row, drugListCursor, from, to);

    set开发者_StackOverflowListAdapter(drugs);
}

The database adapter class is below , the code just doesn't go beyond druglistCursor of the populateDrugList() in the above code!

public class DrugsDbAdapter {

private static final String DATABASE_TABLE = "data";


//The index column name for use in where clauses
public static final String KEY_ID = "_id";

//The name and column index of each column in DB
public static final String KEY_DRUG = "drug";
public static final String KEY_CONTENT = "content";

public static final String KEY_DOSAGE = "dosage";
public static final String KEY_SPECIALPRECAUTION = "specialprecaution";


//variable to hold the database instance

    this.context = _context;

}

        db = dbHelper.getWritableDatabase();
    } catch (SQLiteException ex) {

    }
}

    private Context myContext;

    public  myDbHelper (Context context) {

        super(context, DB_NAME, null, 1);

        this.myContext = context;

    }

    public void createDataBase() throws IOException{

            checkDB = dbfile.exists();

        }catch(SQLiteException e){

            //database does't exist yet.

        }

        return checkDB;

    }

        while ((length = myInput.read(buffer))>0){
            myOutput.write(buffer, 0, length);
        }

        //Close the streams

    }

}


public void close() {
    db.close();
}

    ContentValues newDrugValues = new ContentValues();

Your drugsDbAdapter is null. You have only declared DrugsDbAdapter drugsDbAdapter;, but you need to instantiate it.

Have you initialised drugsDbAdapter? I can't see the initialisation anywhere in your code.

This looks like the error I get every time I have an error in my Activity's layout XML. Check to make sure the XML is well formatted and correct. Simplify it down to its simplest state and test it to make sure this isn't the problem.

Also, as the others stated, with the code given it doesn't appear as though you instantiated the db adapter.
