Database Locked Error Code 5

I get database lock error most of the times… ! what all the cases that lead to database lock.

Error inserting redacted values> into Medicinemaster
net.sqlcipher.database.SQLiteException: error code 5: database is locked

Error Code 5 indicates a SQLITE_BUSY error.

Are you using multiple threads that are concurrently reading and writing to the database?

If so, you might try enabling WAL mode to see if that helps.

PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL;

Yes, i am using multiple threads.

PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL;

Didn’t help !

@srinivas3120 you should then try to set a busy timeout, to allow time for locks to clear, and ensure that your application is not continuously writing to the database.

How do i choose value of time out ? what are the consequences of it ?

by default it got timed out after 10secs. 10 secs is lot !!
