Not really SQLite's fault, but Android automatically deletes corrupt SQLite files http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10127 http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10127 and SQLite can corrupt databases (for sure back in 2010, with some discussion on whether or not this is still an issue) http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8427 http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8427 Combined, this means the db file gets damaged (usually manually repairable) so the Android OS just deletes it.
