title: Android multiple databases open
body: <p>I am making a IM client for android and I am working with databases for storing the contacts and other info's... In my app I have an activity and one service. I need to open three databases in the same time both on the service and on the activity.</p>
  
  <p>I use three database because I want the databases to be managed more easily without having problems with the synchronization of writing in them. (as far as I know I need to write in the database synchronously because it may crush).</p>
  
  <p>To manage the databases from the service and from the activity in the same time, I thought that a singleton or a static class of DatabaseHelper could help me...</p>
  
  <p>So I have started to make a test by making two databasehelper global objects in the activity, each one opens a diferent database, after running the project i've noticed that the last opened database remains opened in both objects :((, why is this happening?</p>
  
  <p>Can somebody sugest me how can i make this work?
  Thank you!</p>
  
  <p>L.E.: after more tests, I made a Static object of databasehelper, open a service from which I take the database object from activity and in the same time i made two for statements, one in activity and one in service that run from 0 to 3000 and adds some values into the same database and then it reads the database.</p>
  
  <p>After this run i noticed that the database is still in feet and running without errors. The strange thing is that the service for is running only after the activity for finishes the job. Why is that?
  Thank you!   </p>
