Question: Let's get started with some database transactions! The first thing we need to do is open a database using the method from our helper class (PetSqlLiteHelper) that gets us a writable database.

Code:

CodeChallenge.java 
PetSQLiteHelper petSQLiteHelper = new PetSQLiteHelper(context);
SQLiteDatabase database = petSQlLiteHelper.getWritableDatabase();

Looks like you had a typo. It should be SQLite instead of SQlLite.

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