Android sqlite - Getting -1 as a result of insert to db

Hi all

I am trying to insert data to my database and getting -1 meaning there was some error and insertion failed. This is my code

public boolean insertData (String name, String phone, String address) { SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();

    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
    values.put(NAME, name);
    values.put(PHONE, phone);
    values.put(ADDRESS, address);

    long result =  db.insert(TABLE_NAME, null, values);

    if (result == -1)
        return false;
    else
        return true;
}

What should I do next ?

Thanks
