ORMLite on Android does not call onCreate

Question

Using ORMLite v 4.40, I try to run the application, but it seems to ignore the onCreate function

My DatabaseHelper looks like this (fragment style)

public class ORMLiteHelper extends OrmLiteSqliteOpenHelper { private Context databaseContext; private static String DATABASE_NAME = "InVinoVeritas"; private static int DATABASE_VERSION = 1; public ORMLiteHelper(Context context) { super (context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION); Log.v("ORMLiteHelper", "Cosntructor"); ... @Override public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase database, ConnectionSource connectionSource) { Log.v("DatabaseHelper", "onCreate"); ... @Override public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase database, ConnectionSource connectionSource, int oldVersion, int newVersion) { Log.v("DatabaseHelper", "onUpgrade"); ... 

My MainActivity calls DatabaseHelper as described:

 public class MainActivity extends OrmLiteBaseActivity<ORMLiteHelper> { 

I tried reinstalling the application by updating the database version, nothing works. I see a constructor call (including typo :-), however onCreate and onUpgrade are not called.

Any help appreciated

Answer 1

Create an instance of ORMLiteHelper and call getWritableDatabase() . When the database is not created, the onCreate function is called.
