CRUD Operations with SQLite - Opening the Database - 2 of 2

Can't seem to find the correct solution. Here's my code:

CodeChallenge.java 
PetSQLiteHelper petSQLiteHelper = new PetSQLiteHelper(context);
SQLiteDatabase database;
// 1 of 2
petSQLiteHelper.getWritableDatabase();
// 2 of 2
database.beginTransaction();

In the 3rd line above you are calling getWritableDatabase() on petSQLiteHelper But you don't assign it to the database variable. 

database = petSQLiteHelper.getWritableDatabase()

That should get you going. Let us know if you're still having trouble
