SQLite exception while clearing application data -SugarDB : SQLiteReadOnlyDatabaseException: attempt to write a readonly database

Question

I am using SugarORM in my android app, I have a countdown timer running which inserts data inside the Sqlite DB every second. While this is running, If I clear the Application data, the application crashes with ANR : SQLiteReadOnlyDatabaseException: attempt to write a readonly database. The other questions here in stackoverflow regarding this are of no help for SugarORM. I dont seem to find anything regarding this for SugarORM. Any Suggestions of what might happen..?

Initialising the sugarDB in application Class oncreate() as follows.

SugarContext.init(this);

and saving the DB object

try {
  utils.save();
 } catch(Exception e) {
  Log.e(TAG, "Exception -> "+e);
 }

the exception is
