My situation is this. I have an OrmLiteBaseActivity where there is my main menu. When I press a button I go in “backup mode” and I want to download a backup sqlite db from my website.
The problem is that when I try to upload the file, I get no error but the db is not updated untill I close and reopen the software. I would like the update to be on-the-fly.

I’ve tried on my OrmLiteBaseActivity something like this:

case BACKUP_ID:
    getHelper().close();
    Intent i = new Intent(this, Backup.class);
    this.startActivity(i);
    return true;

The I go to the backup activity, update the file, then I want to go back but I got this error:

Is there something I’m missing? I assumed that using an OrmLiteBaseActivity would reopen the db everytime I open a new OrmLiteBaseActivity. Am I doing something wrong?

    So I solved it. When the user presses the backup button, here’s what’s happening:

    case BACKUP_ID:
    getHelper().close();
    Intent i = new Intent(this, Backup.class);
    this.startActivity(i);
    return true;

    then I need to reopen this connection. You can actually do it like this (after I swapped sqlite files):

                DatabaseHelper db = new DatabaseHelper(Backup.this);
            db.getWritableDatabase();

    The class Backup just extends Activity.
