Disabling sqlite Write-Ahead logging in Android Pie

Question

In Android Pie sqlite Write-Ahead logging (WAL) has been enabled by default. This is causing errors for my existing code only in Pie devices. I have been unable to turn off

Answer 1

The best and simplest way to disable WAL mode in your Database is as follows:

public class MyDbHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

    //...

    @Override
    public void onOpen(SQLiteDatabase db) {
        db.disableWriteAheadLogging();  // Here the solution
        super.onOpen(db);
    }

    //...
}

This way, all access to your database will be with WAL mode disabled. As much as you open and close multiple connections throughout the implementation of your App
