Question

My application give me this warning

A SQLiteConnection object for database \'+data+data+com_example_test+database\' was leaked! Please fix your ap

Answer 1

Probably you forgot to remove the break point of debugging sample:

Answer 2

In my case the error was caused when y try to download new data and database should be updated.

I solved it instantiating the database by calling a SELECT 0. That cause database to be updated, so after that I try to download the new data. And worked fine.

Answer 3

Just drag that db.close up into the finally block.

Answer 4

Possible Solutions:

• You have not committed the transactions you have started (You should always close the transaction once you started)
• Check whether you have closed the cursors you have opened if you are using Sqlite (Looks like you have done this step from the code you posted)
• Also move the db.close to finally block
• You have not called db.close on a database before deleting it with context.deleteDatabase(...) and then recreating it with dbHelper.getWritableDatabase()

Answer 5

//Inside your SQLite helper class
@Override
public synchronized void close () {
    if (db != null) {
        db.close();
        super.close();
    }
}

//Inside the activity that makes a connection to the helper class
@Override
protected void onDestroy () {
    super.onDestroy();
    //call close() of the helper class
    dbHelper.close();
}
