It seems you are having problems with the Mappings.

Another way you could get the table names is as follow:

Create a class with the following structure:

[Table("sqlite_master")]
public class SqliteMaster
{
    public SqliteMaster()
    {

    }

    [Column("type")]
    public string Type { get; set; }

    [Column("name")]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [Column("tbl_name")]
    public string TableName { get; set; }
}

And then you can use the Sqlite Table method + Linq to extract the data.

Something like this:

var names = db.Table<SqliteMaster>()
              .Where(a => a.Type == "table")
              .Select(a => a.Name)
              .ToList();

This should give you what you are looking for.

Hope this helps.-
