Question

If I take a database object (db) and open it with the command

var db = window.openDatabase("phr", "", "Cognovant PHR", 25000000);
// This should open whatever database is created, otherwise spawn one with a blank
// version number ("")

and then later do:

db.changeVersion(db.version, "2"); // Update database to version 2
console.log(db.version); //Should return "2", instead returns previous version of database

This code, line-for-line works flawlessly (almost better than I had hoped) on iOS, but constantly fails to change the database version on Android.

If there’s some better way to do this, or some alternative way that needs done on Android, I would be greatly appreciative of the information.

Answer 1

This is actually pretty simple to solve.

Simply change the 2 argument version of db.changeVersion to the 3 argument version. Example:

db.changeVersion(db.version, "2", function () {console.log("foobar")});

And it will work.
