how to Delete persistenceStore

[deepakjain]

Hi all,

I am new to Blackberry development. I am using persistenceStore and persistenceObject for storing my data through a HashMap. How do i delete the persistence store while deleting the app. How and when do I invoke the PersistentStore.destroyPersistentObject(). Read that this method would delete the object. Can anyone help with sample code?

A persistent store is deleted from the device when the last application using it is removed, or when the structure of the store as coded in an application is different from the structure of the store on the device.

Other than that, you may destroy your store when ever it makes sense for the operation of your program.

I am storing the data as string and when i delete the application from the device. After i install the application again if find the persistance store still exists.

This KB article has the specifics, and links to other documents. Maybe you can find your answer there: Livelink - Redirection

Store it in a Persistable object whose class is defined in your application. So, for example, instead of storing it in a Hashtable, store in MyHashtable like this

public class MyHashtable extends java.util.Hashtable implements Persistable {
}

This way when your application is uninstalled, the persistent entry created with your class will be removed as well.

Sorry every one--don't know how that happened. I thought I was in a new thread.
