Xamarin.Android doesn't create SQLite database - xamarin.android

Question

I'm trying to create a database with Xamarin.Android but both on the emulator and on the tablet I do not receive an error but nothing is created, where am I wrong?
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);
// create variables for our onscreen widgets
var btnCreate = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.btnCreateDB);
// create DB path
var docsFolder = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);
var pathToDatabase = System.IO.Path.Combine(docsFolder, "db_sqlnet.db");
// disable the single and list buttons until the database has been created
btnSingle.Enabled = btnList.Enabled = false;
// create events for buttons
btnCreate.Click += delegate
{
var result = createDatabase(pathToDatabase);
txtResult.Text = result + "\n";
// if the database was created ok, then enable the list and single buttons
if (result == "Database created")
btnList.Enabled = btnSingle.Enabled = true;
};
private string createDatabase(string path)
{
try
{
var connection = new SQLiteConnection(path);
connection.CreateTable< Entity.Person>();
return "Database created";
}
catch (SQLiteException ex)
{
return ex.Message;
}
}

In you I would use the folder System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal instead of System.Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments.
End when you open the connection with new SQLiteConnection(path) try to add SQLiteOpenFlags.ReadWrite | SQLiteOpenFlags.Create as second parameter.
