Edit: I tried this on my phone and it works, can anyone tell me why it does not work on an emulator?

I am trying to open a database on android, but it is throwing an

Answer 1

Although not relevant for your current issue, the onUpgrade method in SQLiteOpenHelper is also bound to fail in the future: If the action you want to take when a new version of the db is deployed, is to start from scratch, you will need to delete the old tables first.

Edit After some research I found out that your problem is rather common:

the 3 links provided with this answer

are particularly interesting and provide some kind of workaround, should you not find a clean way to make the bug disappear.

That said if I where in you, as a first attempt to solve your problem before delving with complex workarounds, I would try to update all Android Development Tools (the SDK in particular, but updating the eclipse plugin won't hurt), completely remove your app from both the emulator and devices, and run it again.

Good luck!

Edit 2 Disregard the following remark (it's not correct, I leave it here for reference)

Your code doesn't work because the SQL query is wrong: you spelled

integet promary

where it should have been

integer primary

(besides, it happens to me too that I get crazy with the Android db classes only to find that the problem resides in the SQL queries :) )

Hope this helps
