can anyone please help. I’ve seen many people with the same problem and looked at all suggestions but still cannot get this to work. I have tried to unistall the application and install again, I have tried to change the version number and start again. I’ve debugged the code and it does go into the onCreate function, but when I go to make a select query it says the users table does not exist. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks guys

DatabaseHandler Class

public class DatabaseHandler extends SQLiteOpenHelper 
{   
    // Variables
    protected static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;            
    protected static final String DATABASE_NAME = "MyUser.db";

    // Constructor
    public DatabaseHandler(Context context) 
    { 
        super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION); 
    } 

    // Creating Tables 
    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) 
    {           
        // Create the Users table
        // NOTE: I have the column variables saved above
        String CREATE_USERS_TABLE = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Users("
  + KEY_PRIMARY_ID + " " + INTEGER + " " + PRIMARY_KEY + " " + AUTO_INCREMENT + " " + NOT_NULL + "," + USERS_KEY_EMAIL + " " + NVARCHAR+"(1000)" + " " + UNIQUE + " " + NOT_NULL + "," + USERS_KEY_PIN + " " + NVARCHAR+"(10)" + " " + NOT_NULL + ")"; 
  db.execSQL(CREATE_USERS_TABLE);
    }

    // Upgrading database 
    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) 
    { 
      db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Users"); 
        onCreate(db); 
    }

UserDataSource class

public class UserDataSource 
{
    private SQLiteDatabase db;  
    private DatabaseHandler dbHandler;

    public UserDataSource(Context context) 
    {
        dbHandler = new DatabaseHandler(context);
    }

    public void OpenWriteable() throws SQLException 
    {
        db = dbHandler.getWritableDatabase();
    }

    public void Close() 
    {
        dbHandler.close();
    }

    // Validate the user login with the username and password provided
    public void ValidateLogin(String username, String pin) throws CustomException
    {   
         Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(   "select * from Users where " + DatabaseHandler.USERS_KEY_EMAIL + " = '" + username + "'" + " and " + DatabaseHandler.USERS_KEY_PIN + " = '" + pin + "'" , null);

         ........
    }

Then in the activity class, I’m calling

UserDataSource uds = new UserDataSource (this);
uds.OpenWriteable();
uds.ValidateLogin("name", "pin");

Any help would be great, thanks very much

    thanks for the help. The reason why this was not working was because the database inserts were not being committed. The following is how I got around the issue if anyone is interested.

    // Create the Users table
db.beginTransaction();
try {
    Log.d(DatabaseHandler.class.getName(), "Creating table " + TABLE_USERS);
    String CREATE_USERS_TABLE = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS " + TABLE_USERS + "("
            + KEY_PRIMARY_ID + " " + INTEGER + " " + PRIMARY_KEY + ","
            + USERS_KEY_EMAIL + " " + NVARCHAR+"(1000)" + " " + UNIQUE + " " + NOT_NULL + ","
            + USERS_KEY_PIN + " " + NVARCHAR+"(10)" + " " + NOT_NULL + ");"; 
    db.execSQL(CREATE_USERS_TABLE);
    db.setTransactionSuccessful();
}
catch (SQLException e) {
    Log.e(DatabaseHandler.class.getName(), "Error Creating table " + TABLE_USERS + " ... " + e.getMessage());
    // Do whatever you want here
}
finally {
    db.endTransaction();
}
