Actually, it's not your call. This is a JS change!
> window.openDatabase on Android doesn't handle the version parameter very well.

> Key: CB-482
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-482
> Project: Apache Callback
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 1.4.0, 1.5.0, 1.6.0
> Reporter: Wayne Fisher
> Assignee: Filip Maj
> Fix For: 1.6.1

> In the database code for Android, near the very bottom of the phonegap.js
> file, we find the following code:
> {code}
> if (typeof window.openDatabase === "undefined") {
> setupDroidDB();
> } else {
> window.openDatabase_orig = window.openDatabase;
> window.openDatabase = function(name, version, desc, size){
> // Some versions of Android will throw a SECURITY_ERR so we need
> // to catch the exception and seutp our own DB handling.
> var db = null;
> try {
> db = window.openDatabase_orig(name, version, desc, size);
> }
> catch (ex) {
> db = null;
> }
> if (db == null) {
> setupDroidDB();
> return DroidDB_openDatabase(name, version, desc, size);
> }
> else {
> return db;
> }
> };
> }
> {code}
> The comment makes reference to a SECURITY_ERR exception that appears to occur
> on some versions of Android. The following try/catch block will catch the
> SECURITY_ERR exception and proceed to setup the DroidDB.
> However, the try/catch block does not take into account that other exceptions
> can occur. In particular, from w3.org the following specifies an exception
> that should be raised if the specified version does not match the actual
> database version:
> {quote}
> If the database version provided is not the empty string, and the database
> already exists but has a different version, or no version, then the method
> must raise an INVALID_STATE_ERR exception.
> {quote}
> It would appear to me that the above code should be modified to be more
> selective about the handling of exceptions. If an INVALID_STATE_ERR exception
> is raised, it should not setup the DroidDB but instead allow it to propagate
> to the caller.
> I came across this issue when attempting to update a database to a new
> version due to a requirement for additional columns. My code attempted to
> open the new database version and if it failed (due to exception) it would
> fallback and attempt to open and upgrade the previous version. What happened
> was that it was never able to find the previous version since the
> INVALID_STATE_ERR exception was being thrown which was caught by the PhoneGap
> code which would then proceed to setup the DroidDB. There was no way to get
> to the original database.
> The above code appears the same in PhoneGap v1.2, 1.3, and 1.4. I didn't
> check 1.5. In 1.5 the code moved to be much earlier in the file and changed
> slightly but is effectively the same:
> {code}
> // First patch WebSQL if necessary
> if (typeof window.openDatabase == 'undefined') {
> // Not defined, create an openDatabase function for all to use!
> window.openDatabase = storage.openDatabase;
> } else {
> // Defined, but some Android devices will throw a SECURITY_ERR -
> // so we wrap the whole thing in a try-catch and shim in our own
> // if the device has Android bug 16175.
> var originalOpenDatabase = window.openDatabase;
> window.openDatabase = function(name, version, desc, size) {
> var db = null;
> try {
> db = originalOpenDatabase(name, version, desc, size);
> }
> catch (ex) {
> db = null;
> }
> if (db === null) {
> return storage.openDatabase(name, version, desc, size);
> }
> else {
> return db;
> }
> };
> }
> {code}
