How to save a checkbox state in database in android

I am trying to save a checkbox state in my database and retrieve it later but it doesn't seem to work. I get now errors in my log and am hoping some one would be able to assist.

Here is my code for my checkbox:

 <CheckBox
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/check1"
        android:text="test"
        android:layout_below="@+id/textViewAge"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="15dp" />

    <CheckBox
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/check2"
        android:text="test2"
        android:layout_below="@+id/check1"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="11dp" />

Then in my CreateOrEditJobCards.java:

checkA = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.check1);
    checkA.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {

        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton arg0, boolean checked) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            if(checked)
            {
                SaveString="Yes";
            }
            else
            {
                SaveString="No";
            }
        }
    });
    checkB = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.check2);
    checkB.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {

        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton arg0, boolean checked) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            if(checked)
            {
                SaveStringA="Yes";
            }
            else
            {
                SaveStringA="No";
            }
        }
    });

And in my DBHelper.java

}

Basically in this app the user would select "add new jobcard" then would fill in the form and hit save. This then is displayed in a list view in number order. When the user would then select the form created earlier they can then hit send and it will then email the form (I am still working on that and code is not in above)

However like I said earlier, everything else in the form works and saves but can't seem to get the checkbox to save the state it was checked

Could some one please have a look at mu code and point out where I have gone wrong and assist?

Thanks
