SQLiteOpenHelper failing to call onCreate?

by

The onCreate is not a constructor for the database class. It is only called if you try to open a database that does not exist.
To open/create the database you need to add a call to one of these methods:

public class SmartApp extends Activity implements OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener {
   private SmartDBHelper dBHelper;
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      //where i am wanting to create the database and tables
      dBHelper = new SmartDBHelper(getContext());
      // open to read and write
      dBHelper.getWritableDatabase();
      // or to read only
      // dBHelper.getReadableDatabase();
   }
}

It is a bit big but here is my DatabaseAdapter you can take a look at: http://saintfeintcity.org/projects/sfc/repository/entry/trunk/src/org/saintfeintcity/database/GameDbAdapter.java
