I know this is too late ,but i had the same error before and order to fix it change your code to:

public boolean chkDB(){
        boolean chk = false;
        Cursor mCursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM " + DATABASE_TABLE, null);
        if (mCursor != null){
           while(mCursor.moveToFirst()){
           if (mCursor.getInt(0) == 0){
                chk = false;
            }
        }else{
            chk = true;
        }

}
           
        return chk;
    }

You have to add while statement not if or else it will cause a IndexOutOfBound exception
