Answer 1

The literature of moveToFirst() method:

public abstract boolean moveToFirst () Move the cursor to the first row. This method will return false if the cursor is empty.

Returns whether the move succeeded.

So your moveToFirst call is failing(because cusrsor has 0 elements) and that is the reason for crash.

Do this:

if(c != null && c.moveToFirst()) {
    String id = c.getString(0);
    Log.v(id, id + "Id" );
    return id;
}

Answer 2

try this

String id;
if (c!= null && c.moveToNext){
   String id = c.getString(0);
   return id;   
 }

Answer 3

No results in the Cursor. You should check what moveToFirst() is returning (most likely false). Also you should use moveToNext(), not moveToFirst(). Also watch out that you're not checking ss parameter. This could lead to SQL injection vulnerabilities. You should be using parameters. Also I think you can use a single return in your method.

public String getIdByBarcode(String ss) throws SQLException {
    String[] column = new String[]{Pro_ID,Pro_Barcode, Pro_Name,Pro_NameKhmer, Pro_Quantity, Pro_Price, Pro_Description, Pro_Date};
    final String args = new String[1];
    args[0] = ss;
    Cursor c = ourDatabase.query(TABLE_NAME, column, Pro_Barcode + " = ?" , args, null, null, null);
    String ret = null;
    if(c.moveToNext()) {
        ret = c.getString(0);     
    }
    return ret;
}
