Question

I am building an application which has a database with two tables created internally using SQLiteOpenHelper.When ever the application is running,it receives some data and saves it into the tables.What I want is to clear the data tables when ever the application is started?

I looked into this post How can I clear an SQLite database each time I start my application? which is not clear of how to use application.

SQLiteOpenHelper has the ability of creating in-memory databases if you pass the constructor a null name. Probably this is what you are looking for.

For example:

SQLiteOpenHelper sqloh = new SQLiteOpenHelper(context, null, null, 1);
SQLiteDatabase sqldb = sqloh.getWritableDatabase();

will create an in-memory db.
