In my app, after user logs in, database is created. When user logs out, I have to delete the database from the internal storage to save space. The problem is, after deleting the database and a user logs back in, database cannot be created anymore. I tried using .close() but it only makes the problem worse.
Here is my code.
DatabaseHelper
public class DatabaseHelper extends OrmLiteSqliteOpenHelper {
private static final String DATABASE_PATH = "/mnt/sdcard/Philpost/databases/";
private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "DeliveriesDB.sqlite";
private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;
// the DAO object we use to access the SimpleData table
private Dao<DeliveriesDB, Integer> DeliveriesDbDao = null;
public DatabaseHelper(Context context) {
super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
}
@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase database,
ConnectionSource connectionSource) {
try {
TableUtils.createTable(connectionSource, DeliveriesDB.class);
} catch (SQLException e) {
Log.e(DatabaseHelper.class.getName(), "Can't create database", e);
throw new RuntimeException(e);
} catch (java.sql.SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, ConnectionSource connectionSource,
int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
try {
Log.i(DatabaseHelper.class.getName(), "onUpgrade");
TableUtils.dropTable(connectionSource, DatabaseHelper.class, true);
onCreate(db, connectionSource);
} catch (java.sql.SQLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.e(DatabaseHelper.class.getName(), "Cant drop database", e);
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public Dao<DeliveriesDB, Integer> getDeliveriesDbDao() {
if (null == DeliveriesDbDao) {
try {
DeliveriesDbDao = getDao(DeliveriesDB.class);
} catch (java.sql.SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return DeliveriesDbDao;
}
}
DatabaseManager
public class DatabaseManager {
static private DatabaseManager instance;
static public void init(Context ctx) {
if (null == instance) {
instance = new DatabaseManager(ctx);
}
}
static public DatabaseManager getInstance() {
return instance;
}
private DatabaseHelper helper;
public DatabaseManager(Context ctx) {
helper = new DatabaseHelper(ctx);
}
public DatabaseHelper getHelper(Context ctx) {
if(helper == null){
helper = OpenHelperManager.getHelper(ctx, DatabaseHelper.class);
}
return helper;
}
public void releaseDb(Context ctx) {
DatabaseConnection connect;
try {
connect = getHelper(ctx).getConnectionSource()
.getReadWriteConnection();
getHelper(ctx).getConnectionSource().releaseConnection(connect);
helper = null;
} catch (SQLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void closeDb(){
helper.close();
}
public List<DeliveriesDB> getAllDeliveriesDB(Context ctx) {
List<DeliveriesDB> deliveriesdb = null;
try {
deliveriesdb = getHelper(ctx).getDeliveriesDbDao().queryForAll();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return deliveriesdb;
}
public void addDeliveriesDb(DeliveriesDB l, Context ctx) {
try {
getHelper(ctx).getDeliveriesDbDao().create(l);
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public DeliveriesDB getDeliveriesDbWithId(int deliveriesDbId, Context ctx) {
DeliveriesDB deliveriesDb = null;
try {
deliveriesDb = getHelper(ctx).getDeliveriesDbDao().queryForId(
deliveriesDbId);
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return deliveriesDb;
}
public void deleteDeliveriesDb(DeliveriesDB deliveriesDb, Context ctx) {
try {
getHelper(ctx).getDeliveriesDbDao().delete(deliveriesDb);
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void refreshDeliveriesDb(DeliveriesDB deliveriesDb, Context ctx) {
try {
getHelper(ctx).getDeliveriesDbDao().refresh(deliveriesDb);
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void updateDeliveriesDb(DeliveriesDB deliveriesDb, Context ctx) {
try {
getHelper(ctx).getDeliveriesDbDao().update(deliveriesDb);
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
The class where creation and deletion of database happens
public class DeliveryListActivity extends ListActivity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
DatabaseManager.init(this);
setContentView(R.layout.deliverylist_layout);
if (getLastNonConfigurationInstance() != null) {
deliveryIndex = (Integer) getLastNonConfigurationInstance();
}
if (PhilpostApplication.DELIVERIES == null) {
new RetrieveDeliveriesTask().execute();
} else {
updateCachedList(PhilpostApplication.DELIVERIES);
}
}
private void updateCachedList(List<Delivery> deliveries) {
File expath = context.getFilesDir();
String apppath = "/databases/DeliveriesDB.sqlite";
File path = new File(expath, apppath);
adapter = new DeliveryListAdapter(this,
R.layout.deliverylist_row_layout, deliveries);
setListAdapter(adapter);
PhilpostApplication.DELIVERIES = deliveries;
Log.d(TAG, "Updating UI list");
if (PhilpostApplication.firstDb) {
if (!path.exists()) {
createBackupDb();
Log.d(TAG, "DB first Creation");
}
}
}
public void createBackupDb() {
for (int i = 0; i < PhilpostApplication.DELIVERIES.size(); i++) {
// create db first
dId = PhilpostApplication.DELIVERIES.get(i).getId();
rId = PhilpostApplication.DELIVERIES.get(i).getRecipientId();

amount = PhilpostApplication.DELIVERIES.get(i).getCash();
pMan = PhilpostApplication.DELIVERIES.get(i).getPostman();
stats = PhilpostApplication.DELIVERIES.get(i).getStatus();
createNewDeliveriesDb(dId, rId, lastn, firstn, addr, dtype, amount,
pMan, stats);
keyNum[i] = PhilpostApplication.DELIVERIES.get(i).getId();
}
Log.d(TAG, "database created");
PhilpostApplication.firstDb = false;
}
public void logout() {
if (PhilpostApplication.listSynced == false) {
// if( checkIfSyncedList() ){
final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage("Sync data first before logging out.")
.setCancelable(false).setPositiveButton("OK", null);
final AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
} else {
dialog = ProgressDialog.show(this, "Logging out", "please wait");
try {
WebService.logout();
PhilpostApplication.SESSION_KEY = null; // clear Application
// Session
// Key
AccountStore.clear(this);
// clear cached list
PhilpostApplication.DELIVERIES = null;
MemoryUtils.deleteCache(this);
PhilpostApplication.incompleteSync = false;
PhilpostApplication.loggedIn = false;
PhilpostApplication.firstDb = true;
DatabaseManager.getInstance().closeDb();
deleteInternalDb();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (PhilpostApplication.canToggleGPS) {
turnGpsOff();
}
dialog.dismiss();
exitActivity();
}
}
}
Deleting Database
public void deleteInternalDb() {
File internalDb = new File(
Environment.getDataDirectory()
+ "/data/packagename/databases/DeliveriesDB.sqlite");
if (internalDb.exists()) {
internalDb.delete();
Log.d(TAG, "Internal Db deleted");
}
}
