ActiveAndroid: Date columns not created

Question

I am trying to store a Person object with ActiveAndroid. I set the birthdate like this: person.setBirthdate(new java.sql.Date((new Date()).getTime()));. After assigning all data i am calling person.save();.

I get a list of all persons from the database with this command: new Select().from(Person.class).execute();

If I do not close the app everything works fine (birthdate is always returned correctly from the database). However, when I close the app completely and then restart it, the birthdate is always null. All other fields (first name, last name etc.) are correct.

I really don't know why this is happening and would appreciate some help!

EDIT: After taking a closer look at my database I found out that the birthdate-column is not created. I am still not sure why the data is available when not closing the app though.

Second EDIT: I added a new column (a string) which is saved to the database and works just fine. So the problem is not an outdated database. All columns but the date column get created.

I also changed the date datatype to a string. The birthdate was then saved. Changing it back to a Date datatype resulted in the original problem again. Really weird... Does anyone know whats going on?

Answer 1

It should be some caching problem. for saving Date try to use type serializer. it is so easy just read this page.
