I know this may seem as a silly question, but is it possible?
In cause you are wondering why am is asking this... I made an update to an app of mine that, if installed over the previous versions, it make it crash in a certain vital point, and it will only work if you go to settings and "Clear Data". I was wondering if i could use some code snippet to make this automatically for this version.
A better fix to your problem would be to figure out why it is crashing at this point and to address that. You can likely make use of the SqliteHelper#OnUpgrade method to accomplish this.
that being said. I assume that this would fix your problem:
File dir = context.getFilesDir();
FileUtils.cleanDirectory(dir);
That gets the private file directory for your application and clears it, which is essentially what the clear data function will do.
You probably need to delete the SQLite file and SharedPreferences.
You can do some answers in this question :
