App crashes upgrading sqlite database first time

Question

my app experiences a crash when the sqlite database is updated the first time. Reloading the app, it works fine from then on. I\'m guessing this has to do with the onUpgrade

You don't need to delete the database, just copy over it using the method you've alady defined (copyDataBase), like this:

@Override  
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {  
    Toast.makeText(myContext, "onUpgrade called!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();  
    if (oldVersion < newVersion) {  
        Log.v("Database Upgrade", "Database version higher, upgrading");  
        try { 
            copyDataBase(); 
        } catch (IOException e) { 
            throw new Error("Error upgrading database"); 
        } 
    } 
}
