This is the same code of @PedroOkawa that works with the GreenDao 3.+ with fixed errors:

}

}
}
and the usage is:
@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase sqLiteDatabase, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
MigrationHelper.migrate(new StandardDatabase(sqLiteDatabase),
UserDao.class,
ItemDao.class);
// OR you can use it like this (Dont use both it is example of 2 different usages)
MigrationHelper.migrate(sqLiteDatabase,
UserDao.class,
ItemDao.class);
}
StandardDatabase
can be found in greendao and this is the import:
import org.greenrobot.greendao.database.StandardDatabase;
Thanks again to @PedroOkawa :)
