Question

everyone.

In my app, I set the integer app version code (not the version name, but the android system value android:versionCode in the Manifest) via an integer resource.

I would like to enforce that my SQLite database has the database version automatically updated whenever I update the app, which the market decides based on the integer version code. In the constructor for my database subclass, I have tried to replace the commented line with the one below it:

protected static class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

    DatabaseHelper(Context context) {
        //          super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
        super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, context.getInteger(R.integer.version_code));

    }
}

but keep getting errors, as getInteger() is not defined in this context.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, especially if this is considered bas practice. Thanks!

Answer 1

if the error that you cant reach getInteger method,try to cast the context to the activity that initiates the sqlite.

i.e.

((MainActivity)context).getInteger().
