Question

I am implementing a Database for my (beginner/Android) application.

It is not clear to me if the

SQLiteOpenHelper 

is meant to create the Database (physically, writing the .db/.sql file) with

super()

or if it still up to me to create such file, and this Class is there just to manage opening,closing,updating the Database.

In case it is like this, there’s no other way to have a class that manage DBs automatically, e.g. just passing name of the file (apart from doing it myself ^_^ )

Thank you

Answer 1

SQLiteOpenHelper will create the database file before calling onCreate() of your SQLiteOpenHelper subclass.
