I have been trying to find a discussion on the best way to handle a
common sqlite database which is shared by multiple Activities (or
multiple Activities and Services). This is all in the same
application.

It seems that if each Activity has:

void onCreate()
{
    SQLiteDatabase db = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(...)
    ...
}

void onDestroy()
{
   db.close();
   ...
}

this would be wasteful, assuming there would be N SQLiteDatabase
objects with N activities that needed access to the same db.

One could go about making a singleton, but who would be responsible
for closing the database when the application terminates?

Would it be best to extend the android.app.Application class and hook
into the onTerminate() to close the database?

Taking a look at NotePadv3Solution, I can't find where it closes the
database - and that is a pretty straightforward example.
