Android Android Data Persistence CRUD Operations with SQLite Opening the Database

I added petSQLiteHelper.beginTransaction(); which should be the answer but it comes back with a compiler error.

Compiler said it could not find beginTransaction() method. It seems to be looking in the PetSQLiteHelper instead of the sqlite library.

CodeChallenge.java 
PetSQLiteHelper petSQLiteHelper = new PetSQLiteHelper(context);
SQLiteDatabase database;
petSQLiteHelper.getWritableDatabase();
petSQLiteHelper.beginTransaction();
petSQLiteHelper.setTransactionSuccessful();
petSQLiteHelper.endTransaction();
petSQLiteHelper.close();
