Null Pointer Exception while populating a ListAdapter

Question

I am at a point, where I need some help. I stuck to this problem for a couple of days now. (I am new to Android Programming)

So I am at my first app and want to create a ListView which is filled with entries out of a SQLite DB.

Unfortunately I got a NullPointerException when I try to set my Adapter.

I hope you guys have an idea, of how to fix this or a hint where i can look after a solution. For this code I went through a couple of Tutorials, so i might missed some important part or made a rather "silly" mistake, due I am a complete newbie.

Heres my Code:

Method, which populates the ListView:

//Populates the List View
public void readDB(View view){

    Log.d("ReadDB","Start");

    //Read DB
    Cursor myCursor = dbTimer.rawQuery("Select * from Times", null);
    myCursor.moveToFirst();

    //Outputs DB-Entries in Console (for checking if there are entries)
    printDB(myCursor);

    //Find ListView to populate
    lvItems = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView_timer);

    //Setup Cursor Adapter with the ResultSet
    TimerCursorAdapter myAdapter = new TimerCursorAdapter(this, myCursor);

    //Attach Cursor adapter to the ListView
    lvItems.setAdapter(myAdapter);
    Log.d("ReadDB","Finish");

}

Adapter Class

public class TimerCursorAdapter extends CursorAdapter {

public TimerCursorAdapter(Context context, Cursor cursor){
    super(context, cursor, 0);
}

@Override
public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent){
    return LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.item_list_view, parent, false);
}

@Override
public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor){

    // Find TextFields for pupolation
    TextView tvTitle = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView_title);
    TextView tvCup = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView_cup);
    TextView tvGram = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView_gram);
    TextView tvMilliliter = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView_milliliter);
    TextView tvBlooming = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView_blooming);
    TextView tvSteeping = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView_steeping);
    TextView tvPressing = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView_pressing);

    // Extract properties from Cursor
    String strTitle = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("Title"));
    String intCup = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("Cup"));
    String intGram = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("Gram"));
    String intMilliliter = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("Milliliter"));
    String intBlooming = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("Blooming"));
    String intSteeping = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("Steeping"));
    String intPressing = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("Pressing"));

    //Sets TextVies in the Layout
    tvTitle.setText(strTitle);
    tvCup.setText(intCup);
    tvGram.setText(intGram);
    tvMilliliter.setText(intMilliliter);
    tvBlooming.setText(intBlooming);
    tvSteeping.setText(intSteeping);
    tvPressing.setText(intPressing);
}
