Android SQLite not returning list of all rows

I am working on a little Android app, for the game EVE.

While working on the activity for adding new characters I created myself a class for database handling of all the CRUD operations and whatnot, which you can take a look at here, but most importantly what my issue is that the getAllCharacters() method returns and empty List.

public List<Character> getAllCharacters() {
    List<Character> characterList = new ArrayList<Character>();
    String selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM " + TABLE_CHARACTERS;
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);

    if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
        do {
            Character character = new Character();
            character.set_id(Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(0)));
            character.set_apiKey(cursor.getString(1));
            character.set_keyId(cursor.getString(2));
        } while (cursor.moveToNext());
    }
    return characterList;
}

Is the code itself in the method, and the way I am using it is

DatabaseHandler db = new DatabaseHandler(getApplicationContext());
List<Character> list = db.getAllCharacters();

and when trying to call toString() on it I get [] as a value.

I can see the entries to the database being made, as shown here.

Any help would be appreciated, cheers.
