Cannot create Database

Postby erbedo » Tue Mar 18, 2008 12:10 pm

Hi
I'm trying to create a database from an outer class tht my main Activity. The problem is that I always got that my database is invalid, and so I can't work on it.

I built a stand-alone class, with (at the moment) just 3 methods, one for creating the db, one for creating the (only) table, and another one for inserting data into it.

But, as I said, I can't create the db. I looked too in the emulator filesystem, and in fact there's no db under my package.

Where I'm wrong?

Hi,

you are not using the context, what I think is needed.

This is my constructor of my class:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
Using java Syntax Highlighting
  1.                
  2.  
  3. private final Context                           ctx;
  4.  
  5. private SQLiteDatabase                          database                                = null;
  6.  
  7.  
  8.  
  9. public constructor (Context context){
  10.  
  11.                 ctx = context;
  12.  
  13.                
  14.  
  15.                 try {
  16.  
  17.                         database = ctx.openDatabase(DATABASE_NAME, null);
  18.  
  19.                         Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Database opened");
  20.  
  21.                 } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
  22.  
  23.                         try {
  24.  
  25.                                 database = ctx.createDatabase(DATABASE_NAME, 1, 0, null);
  26.  
  27.                                 database.execSQL(DATABASE_CREATE);
  28.  
  29.                                 Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Database created");
  30.  
  31.                         } catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
  32.  
  33.                                 throw new SQLException("Could not create database");
  34.  
  35.                         }
  36.  
  37.                 }
