{
public static void main(String[] args)
{

theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
}
public DeleteData()
{
pushScreen(new DeleteDataScreen());
}
}
class DeleteDataScreen extends MainScreen
{

public DeleteDataScreen()
{
LabelField title = new LabelField("SQLite Delete Database Data",
LabelField.ELLIPSIS |
LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH);
setTitle(title);
add(new RichTextField("Attempting to delete data from " +
"MyTestDatabase.db on the SDCard."));
try
{
