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

If you are using Room, you won't have direct access to the database but you can instead set the journal mode when you are building/opening the database:

db = Room.databaseBuilder(context, Database.class, "Database")
         .setJournalMode(JournalMode.TRUNCATE)
         .build();
