Database error in Android

Question

I'm ceating an application with SQLite. When I'm fetching the values from the database, I'm getting the error below:

10-30 15:06:07.584: ERROR/Database(817): Leak found
10-30 15:06:07.584: ERROR/Database(817): java.lang.IllegalStateException: /data/data/com.fitzsoftware.grocessaryList/databases/example.db SQLiteDatabase created and never closed

The data which is being fetched from the database takes so much time to be displayed, which I think is because of this error. Any suggestions on how to solve it?

Answer 1

Looks like you open the database but never close it...? Or maybe a corrupt database file...? Try uninstalling your program and run it again. Do you get the same error the first time you run it? - or the second time?
