What happens after calling close() of Androids Sqlite database?

There is a multiple of questions about when to close a Sqlite database. But before that the question is why should someone call that method. Since Sqlite is regarded as ACID-compliant there is no essential need to do that.

But for better understanding I want to know what happens after calling close() on a Android Sqlite database?

The term ACID-compliant shouldn't be confused with the resources an open database connection holds to perform operations. Calling close() releases those resources occupied by SQLite database in Android. Once you call it, you can no longer read or write data using query, rawQuery, execSQL, etc.
