Android & Ormlite: Inserting data in DatabaseHelper onCreate

Question

I am using Ormlite for the first time and I am trying to setup my DatabaseHelper to insert rows after creating the database's tables. I am getting a getWritableDatabase called recursively error when I do.

Here is my onCreate:

public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase sqliteDatabase, ConnectionSource connectionSource) {

    try {
        TableUtils.createTable(databaseType, connectionSource, User.class);

        // Add test user
        User test = new User("test", "12345");
        getUserDao().create(test);


    } catch (SQLException e) {
        Log.e(DatabaseHelper.class.getName(), "Unable to create databases", e);
    }
}

Answer 1

The problem here was that @karnage was using an older version of ORMLite that had a bug with using the DAOs in the onCreate -- the pattern that he is using. This was fixed in version 4.6 (10/2010) and downloading and running the latest version works for him.

Here is the bug report:

Here's the change log file to track new features and versions of ORMLite:
