         "descripcion text NOL NULL,"+
         "latitud real," +

            return db.insert("lugares", null, cv);           


         }







        }

and this

public class listatab extends ListActivity{ 

        Context context;
        ListView listanombres;
        DataBaseHelper ayudabbdd;


      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);        
        Cursor nombresC;
         nombresC = ayudabbdd.getNombres();  
         startManagingCursor(nombresC);
         ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.listatab, nombresC, new String[] { "nombre" }, new int[] { R.id.lista });
         this.setListAdapter(adapter);
         this.getListView().setTextFilterEnabled(true);  


      }
      @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        if (ayudabbdd != null) {
            ayudabbdd.close();
        }
}
}

And log cat give me this error

I don't know why, anyone can helps me please?

You don't created your DataBaseHelper instance. You need:

ayudabbdd = new DataBaseHelper(this);

before calling getNombers() method.

---

Use It

DataBaseHelper ayudabbdd=new DataBaseHelper(this);
    SQLiteDatabase db=ayudabbdd.getReadableDatabase();
    Cursor cur=db.<Method Name which you want to use>;

but i have no idea what the use of

 nombresC = ayudabbdd.getNombres(); 

and you have many spelling mistake while you are creating you table remove them also after check,

   like nol null in place of not null

---

You need to manually call openDataBase in onCreate prior to calling db.execSQL:

     public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db){
         try {
             openDataBase();
             db.execSQL(CREATE_TABLE);
         } catch (Exception e) {
            // handle exception
         }             
     }

Similarly, your onUpgrade method needs to open the database first before calling db.execSQL otherwise you'll get the same type of error. And I don't think you should manually call onCreate from onUpgrade, figure out a different way to accomplish what you're trying there.
