Hi! How to best handle databases during the Activity life-cyle?
My example: 1. When I start the Activity I want to open the database so I create a new dbAdapter and open it. 2. onCreate calls populateFields and data is read from the database I just opened. The database remains opened because other functions in the Activity needs the database. 3. the Activity gets Paused so I want to close my open database to release resources : onPause --> dbAdapter.close() 4. the Activity gets Resumed so I need to open the database again: onResume --> dbAdapter.open() The problem: This will create two open instances of the database. When the Activity starts the first time after onCreate has finished onResume will be called (see: http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/images/activity_lifecycle.png). What's best practise to solve this? This error of handling databases is also present in the Notepad Tutorial. //Anders -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
