I have the following SqlCipher DB. It works fine when i first install the app, but if i close, remove the app from recent history(off the stack) and re-open the app it crashes with the following error. The db will not open once an exception is encountered, for example i put a 1/0 in an Activity to force it to crash and the same happened below.
07-20 15:39:05.669: E/Database(21425): CREATE TABLE android_metadata failed
07-20 15:39:05.669: E/Database(21425): Failed to setLocale() when constructing, closing the database
07-20 15:39:05.669: E/Database(21425): net.sqlcipher.database.SQLiteException: file is encrypted or is not a database
.
I've found the following link that seems to fix the problem (i'm not sure if it is the solution) but i'm not sure how to implement it into my code. Could anyone help please or tell me why i'm getting this error?
http://rootslash.net/88542/sqlcipher-cant-open-database-after-apprestart
This is my DB code, i use SqlCipher SQLiteOpenHelper to create the DB. I think i need to modify this code so it returns a DB object if one already exists and creates one if it doesn't exist. i'm just not sure how.
Thanks in advance.
[EDIT1] I have a LoginActivity that verifies the user's credentials. if they are valid it loads the MenuActivity in which i have put a 1/0 to force a crash. After the crash if i re-open the app it crashes in the LoginActivity at the line where it queries the DB User table.
DBModel is a class that has the SqliteOpenHelper and CRUD methods.
So it is crashing at checkUserInDB() in the DBModel class, which in turn calls queryAllFromUser().
