will the android old edition apk cache be used by the new edition apk

Question

my android apk will write some data into local database SQLite , and when I upgrade the apk to a new version, will the cached data be used by the new version.

If yes, I want to clean the cache because it will effect the behavior of my app.

Answer 1

Yes the new version will use the old cache.
If you want to clean it, just add a code in your new program where you delete all the relevant tables.
Or you just can delete the database all together.

context.deleteDatabase(DATABASE_NAME);
