Empty SQLite database on API 10

Question

I want to clear my SQLite database by deleting the associated db file and then recreating it.

However, I can't use context.deleteDatabase() for I'm working with the min API 10.

Any alternatives?

deleteDatabase() has been around since API 1. Are you using Context.deleteDatabase( String ) -- a static call --, or this.deleteDatabase( String )? deleteDatabase() is not static. — 323go

nothing appears when I write Context.deleteDatabase( string ) — Anis LOUNIS aka AnixPasBesoin

No, nothing should appear. There's no static method deleteDatabase() on Context. Post your code. — 323go

SQLiteDatabase db = helper.getWritableDatabase(); 
//helper is object extends SQLiteOpenHelper
db.delete(DatabaseHelper.TAB_USERS, null, null);
db.delete(DatabaseHelper.TAB_USERS_GROUP, null, null);

@AnixPasBesoin, sure you can. Why do you think you can't?
