Не может получить данные из базы данных SQLite на android. (возвращает пустой список ArrayList)

У меня возникла проблема при попытке извлечь данные из базы данных SQLite, я пытаюсь создать приложение для Android, которое служит банком вопросов. при попытке получить информацию из этой базы данных я получаю пустой список вопросов, приложение работает достаточно хорошо без ошибок, но проблема в том, почему мой список вопросов пуст. Может кто-нибудь помочь мне разобраться в том, что происходит.

Код для QuestionDBHelper, который расширяет SQLiteOpenHelper
