I was able to obtain the expected function of the SQLiteOpenHelper
method onCreate() with the code below, by including the database name
in the SQLHelper constructor. Now onCreate() is only called for
databases which are created, and not opened.
public class SQLHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper{
public SQLHelper(Context context, String name){
// constructor
super(context, name, null, 1);
}
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
LaunchBL.dbCreated = true;
