Hi,

    Try adding a "finally" clause to your try/catch statement, something
like:

    try
    {
        this.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
        // access the database
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        // exception handling
    }
    finally
    {
        // then when you're done
        this.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor (Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
    }


    Hope this helps!
