Penyebab khas Aplikasi, yang menggunakan SQLite dan yang menyalin database yang sudah ada sebelumnya tiba-tiba tidak berfungsi untuk API 28 adalah untuk mengatasi masalah database folder tidak ada (salinan akan gagal jika direktori tidak ada) adalah membuat database kosong dan kemudian menimpa database.
Namun, seperti secara default, dari API 28, SDK menggunakan WAL (Write-ahead logging) dan membuat database kosong untuk ditimpa, menghasilkan file -shm dan -wal yang dibuat. Keberadaan file-file inilah yang menyebabkan database menjadi kosong setelah disalin.
- Saya yakin ini karena setelah database yang disalin dibuka, ketidaksesuaian terdeteksi dan metode SDK membuat database kosong yang dapat digunakan (ini adalah dugaan dan belum benar-benar terbukti).
Perbaikan Cepat
Perbaikan cepat, tetapi tidak disarankan, adalah mengganti onConfigure metode di kelas yang mensubklasifikasikan SQLiteOpenHelper untuk menggunakan disableWriteAheadLogging sehingga database dibuka dalam mode jurnal.
- kode lengkap di bawah ini (kode ke-2) menyertakan ini, tetapi barisnya telah dikomentari.
Perbaikan yang Disarankan
Metode yang disarankan, untuk mendapatkan manfaat dari WAL, adalah memeriksa keberadaan direktori database dan membuat direktori jika tidak ada daripada membuat database untuk ditimpa (dan oleh karena itu - shm dan -wal file tidak ada saat database disalin )
Berikut ini adalah contoh metode di mana direktori diperiksa/dibuat saat memeriksa untuk melihat apakah database ada (jelas ini perlu disesuaikan ) :-
private boolean checkDataBase() {
/**
* Does not open the database instead checks to see if the file exists
* also creates the databases directory if it does not exists
* (the real reason why the database is opened, which appears to result in issues)
*/
File db = new File(myContext.getDatabasePath(DB_NAME).getPath()); //Get the file name of the database
if (db.exists()) return true; // If it exists then return doing nothing
// Get the parent (directory in which the database file would be)
File dbdir = db.getParentFile();
// If the directory does not exits then make the directory (and higher level directories)
if (!dbdir.exists()) {
db.getParentFile().mkdirs();
dbdir.mkdirs();
}
return false;
}
- Perhatikan bahwa ini bergantung pada variabel DB_NAME sebagai nama database (nama file dari file database) dan bahwa lokasi akhir database adalah lokasi standar (data/data/the_package/databases/).
Di atas telah diekstraksi dari subkelas SQLiteOpenHelper berikut :-
public class DBHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

if (!checkDataBase()) {

blocks_copied = 0;

}
}

//do nothing - database already exists
} else {
//By calling this method an empty database will be created into the default system path
//of your application so we are gonna be able to overwrite that database with our database.
//this.getReadableDatabase();
//<<<<<<<<<< Dimsiss the above comment
//By calling this method an empty database IS NOT created nor are the related -shm and -wal files
//The method that creates the database is flawed and was only used to resolve the issue
//of the copy failing in the absence of the databases directory.
//The dbExist method, now utilised, checks for and creates the database directory, so there
//is then no need to create the database just to create the databases library. As a result
//the -shm and -wal files will not exist and thus result in the error associated with
//Android 9+ failing with due to tables not existining after an apparently successful
//copy.
