android - 在Android默认启动器中LauncherProvider.DatabaseHelper.convertDatabase(SQLiteDatabase db)返回true时？

我在阅读android 2.2默认启动程序的源代码时遇到了一个问题。
launcherprovider.databasehelper的源代码段：

@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
    if (LOGD)
    Log.d(TAG, "creating new launcher database");

    db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE favorites (" + "_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,"
        + "title TEXT," + "intent TEXT," + "container INTEGER,"
        + "screen INTEGER," + "cellX INTEGER," + "cellY INTEGER,"
        + "spanX INTEGER," + "spanY INTEGER," + "itemType INTEGER,"
        + "appWidgetId INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT -1,"
        + "isShortcut INTEGER," + "iconType INTEGER,"
        + "iconPackage TEXT," + "iconResource TEXT," + "icon BLOB,"
        + "uri TEXT," + "displayMode INTEGER" + ");");

    // Database was just created, so wipe any previous widgets
    if (mAppWidgetHost != null) {
    mAppWidgetHost.deleteHost();
    sendAppWidgetResetNotify();
    }

    if (!convertDatabase(db)) {
    // Populate favorites table with initial favorites
    loadFavorites(db);
    }
}

private boolean convertDatabase(SQLiteDatabase db) {
    if (LOGD)
    Log.d(TAG,
        "converting database from an older format, but not onUpgrade");
    boolean converted = false;

    final Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://" + Settings.AUTHORITY
        + "/old_favorites?notify=true");
    final ContentResolver resolver = mContext.getContentResolver();
    Cursor cursor = null;

    try {
    cursor = resolver.query(uri, null, null, null, null);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    // Ignore
    }

    // We already have a favorites database in the old provider
    if (cursor != null && cursor.getCount() > 0) {
    try {
        converted = copyFromCursor(db, cursor) > 0;
    } finally {
        cursor.close();
    }

    if (converted) {
        resolver.delete(uri, null, null);
    }
    }

    if (converted) {
    // Convert widgets from this import into widgets
    if (LOGD)
        Log.d(TAG, "converted and now triggering widget upgrade");
    convertWidgets(db);
    }

    return converted;
}

当系统中没有数据库时，调用onCreate()创建数据库。在oncreate（）的尾部，它调用convertdatabase（sqlitedatabase db）。而且convertdatabase（sqlitedatabase db）中有查询代码，我很困惑。为什么在oncreate（）中查询？何时convertdatabase（sqlitedatabase db）将返回true？我的Android版本是2.2

最佳答案

可以从日志消息中检索某些上下文：

if (LOGD) Log.d(TAG, "converting database from an older format, but not onUpgrade");

如果存在旧格式的数据库，convertDatabase()使用copyFromCursor将所有条目复制到新的数据库中，光标指向旧实例，然后将其删除。因此，如果该方法找到并转换了旧格式的数据库实例，则返回true，否则返回false。
因为启动程序实际上称为Launcher2它很可能试图找到前一个的痕迹。
