kotlin SQLite database always writing default values, never new ones - kotlin

Question

here is the class I set up for my database. database handler being the inner class.
import android.content.Context
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper
import android.content.ContentValues
import android.util.Log
import java.sql.Date
class Scores {
var id : Int = 0
var dataBaseName = "ScoreDatabase"
var averageTime = 0.0f
val date = Date(System.currentTimeMillis()).toString()
constructor(averageTime:Float) {
this.averageTime = averageTime
Log.d("Poop", averageTime.toString())
}
constructor()
inner class DataBaseHandler(var context:Context, tableName:String): SQLiteOpenHelper(context, dataBaseName, null,1){
val TABLE_NAME = tableName
val COL_ID = "id"
val COL_AVG = "Average_Time"
val COL_DATE = "Date"
override fun onCreate(db: SQLiteDatabase?) {
val createTable = "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_NAME +" (" +
COL_ID +" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," +
COL_AVG + " VARCHAR(256)," +
COL_DATE +" VARCHAR(256)"
db?.execSQL(createTable)
}
override fun onUpgrade(db: SQLiteDatabase?, oldVersion: Int, newVersion: Int) {
TODO("not implemented") //To change body of created functions use File | Settings | File Templates.
}
fun insertData(score: Scores){
val db = this.writableDatabase
var cv = ContentValues()
cv.put(COL_AVG,score.averageTime)
cv.put(COL_DATE,score.date)
var result = db.insert(TABLE_NAME,null,cv)
if(result == -1.toLong())
Log.d("POOP", "fail score table in addition")
else
Log.d("POOP", "Success score table in addition" )
}
fun readData(): MutableList<Scores>{
var list: MutableList<Scores> = ArrayList()
val db = this.readableDatabase
val query = "Select * from $TABLE_NAME"
val result = db.rawQuery(query,null)
if (result.moveToFirst()){
do {
var score = Scores()
var id = result.getString(0).toInt()
var AvgTime = result.getString(1).toFloat()
var date = result.getString(2).toString()
list.add(score)
}while (result.moveToNext())
}
result.close()
db.close()
return list
}
}
}
I tried this where the scores class and the handler were two separate classes, but it generated the same results.
here is how I write to the database (from 4 separate activities. in each activity the tablename is different. in this one for example it is 'additionDataBase')
val scores = Scores("%.3f".format(timeKeeper.averageNumber).toFloat())
val db = scores.DataBaseHandler(context, "additionDataBase")
db.insertData(scores)
and here is how I read from the database which is in a different activity that shows the averageTime from each table. here is the code for one of them
val context: Context? = activity
val adb = Scores().DataBaseHandler(context!!,"additionDataBase")
val data = adb.readData()
TextViewAdScore.text = data[0].averageTime.toString() + " " + data[1].date
I think I am missing something, but I can't seem to find what it is.
so far, no matter how many times I do this. the output is always 0.0f

Look at what you do in readData:
var score = Scores()
var id = result.getString(0).toInt()
var AvgTime = result.getString(1).toFloat()
var date = result.getString(2).toString()
list.add(score)
id, AvgTime, and date are retrieved but not used in any way, so your code is equivalent to just writing list.add(Scores()). (Side note: there's no reason for them to be var, and why the case inconsistency between AvgTime and the rest?)
