Ok, thanks. Now, I use onTerminate to close the SqLite DB to avoid the error saying that the database was opened but never closed. Is this error something I need to be anal about or can I just ignore it. I know it doesn't relate to my previous problem, but you mentioned that onTerminate may NOT be called.
