I'm not doing anything re locking the DB, so I would imagine I would be getting default behaviour.
But if one of Activities does: db = mySQLiteOpenHelper.getReadableDatabase(); db.exexSQL(...) or db.query(...) and the IntentService does the following BEFORE the code above has managed to close the DB db2 = mySQLiteOpenHelper2.getWritableDatabase(); db2.exexSQL(...) or db.query(...) then a stacktrace is written in the logs indicating that the ReadableDatabase resources were not closed when they should have been. So then seems to be some kind of resource conflict caused by the race condition. And I'd like to avoid that. And I didn't understand your example that you suggests improves performance. It looks like you are just replacing the value of a local cursor variable with a newly constructed cursor each time. It doesn't appear that you are reusing the cursor in any way. Unless someDbAccessMethod(); is always returning the same cursor ?? But that doesn't make sense because a) it would be returning the cursor you just closed, so its no longer any good to you. b) the cursor would always return the same dataset, so I can't see how its that useful. But maybe I'm way off mark ..
