I have to set the default value for the username field. How do I do this?

I’ve spent a lot of time on the ORMLite documentation. You should always start there. If you go to the documentation index, and look up default value it would show you that there is a defaultValue field in @DatabaseField annotation. Here are the javadocs for that field.

Something like the following should work:

@DatabaseField(defaultValue = "unknownName", canBeNull = true)
String username;
