code for create database in android broadcast receiver

My objective is, i need to create a database using service class not in activity, for that i have created one service class which is given as follows.

   public class Receiver extends BroadcastReceiver
   {       
       @Override    
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
        {
             select();//
        } 

        public void select()
        {
            SQLiteDatabase myDb;
            myDb = openOrCreateDatabase(path + "/" + db, Context.MODE_PRIVATE, null);
            cur4readdb = myDb.query("users",null, null, null, null, null, null);
            cur4readdb.moveToFirst();
            while (cur4readdb.isAfterLast() == false)
            {
               Log.i(TAG, " From SMSReceive : " + cur4readdb.getString(1));
               cur4readdb.moveToNext();
             }
            cur4readdb.close();
        }
    }


But, i got errors in this line : 

    myDb = openOrCreateDatabase(path + "/" + db, Context.MODE_PRIVATE, null); //openOrCreateDatabase is underlined in red colour.


In my main activity i have used the same code its working here. But not in service. Will you anybody please tell me. is it possible or not. If yes means elaborate that solution.

    myDb = openOrCreateDatabase(path + "/" + db, Context.MODE_PRIVATE, null);       
    cur4readdb = myDb.query("users", null, null, null, null, null, null);
    cur4readdb.moveToFirst();
    while (cur4readdb.isAfterLast() == false)
    {
        Log.i(TAG, "User : " + cur4readdb.getString(1));
        cur4readdb.moveToNext();            
    }

Thanks in advance.

Definitely a compilation error.

openOrCreateDatabase can be seen in Context class. And both Activity and Service extends the Context class.

You are not writing a service, but a receiver. BroadcastReceiver doesn't extend the Context class. You can use the context object in the receiver by context.openOrCreateDatabase(...).

openOrCreateDatabase() method is of Context class, so you need to call it from context object. i.e.

myDb = context.openOrCreateDatabase(path + "/" + db, Context.MODE_PRIVATE, null);
