Android app with database constantly "starting/waiting for a blocking gc alloc"

I've looked through specifically the addButtonClicked() method and the DBHandler itself. I can't figure out why the program basically gets stuck in an infinite loop when I try to add something to the database. Every time I run it and try to add something to the database it just freezes and gives this message over and over and over.

Error:

It just keeps running that over and over and the printSelectedDatabase() is never ran because it doesn't show in the text view.

Main Activity:

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    EditText dataInput;
    TextView showText;
    DBHandler dbHandler;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        dataInput = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.dataInput);
        showText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.showText);
        dbHandler = new DBHandler(this, null, null, 1);
        printSelectedDatabase();
    }

    public void addButtonClicked(View view){
        Animals animal = new Animals(dataInput.getText().toString());
        dbHandler.addAnimal(animal);
        printSelectedDatabase();
    }

    public void deleteButtonClicked(View view){
        String string = dataInput.getText().toString();
        dbHandler.deleteAnimal(string);
        printSelectedDatabase();
    }

    public void printSelectedDatabase(){
        String string = dbHandler.printDatabase();
        showText.setText(string);
        dataInput.setText("");
