I changed the code to read
  if (c != null) { .....
       int MyNameColumn = c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("drawingName");
       c.moveToFirst();
  }
Im catching the exception which is java.lang.NullPointerException.
I don't understand why tho. There is data in the array, i see it get filled
when i step through the code. any thoughts on what is going on ?

Thanks!
