Remarks
Create and/or open a database that will be used for reading and writing. The first time this is called, the database will be opened and #onCreate, #onUpgrade and/or #onOpen will be called.
Once opened successfully, the database is cached, so you can call this method every time you need to write to the database. (Make sure to call #close when you no longer need the database.) Errors such as bad permissions or a full disk may cause this method to fail, but future attempts may succeed if the problem is fixed.
<p class="caution">Database upgrade may take a long time, you should not call this method from the application main thread, including from android.content.ContentProvider#onCreate ContentProvider.onCreate().
