how to correctly insert rows at the beginning of the table

I created sqlite database and i use ContentValues to insert records into it from a file, the file contains 689 lines which means i will insert 689 records into the databse i created.

the problem i am facing is, despite i initially delete all the records from the databse, each time i call the "populate()" method posted belwo i receive "total rows: 0" as shown in the output below, but the inserted rowid never starts from 0 as shown below in the output.

in other words, assume i insert 10 records to a databse table, initially it will contain 10 records and the first and last rowid will be 1 and 10 respectively. and when i delete all the rows from the databse and insert another 10 records, the rowid of the first and last row will be 11 and 19 respectively and i think, the rowid of the first and last row should be 1 and 9 respectively

please let me know why that is happening and how to solve it

code:

public void populate(Context context, File file, SQLiteHelper sqliteHelper) {
    this.mCtx = context;
    this.mSQLiteHelper = sqliteHelper;
    this.mSQLiteHelper.deleteALLRows();

    Log.i(TAG, "total rows: " + this.mSQLiteHelper.getTotalRowsInDB());//return 0 rows..which is understandable
    ..
    ..
    ..
    ..
    ..
try {
        while ( (line = this.mBR.readLine()) !=  null ) {
            Log.v(TAG, "line: " + line);

            params = line.split(",");

            cv.put(this.mCtx.getResources().getString(R.string.cv_col1), params[0]);
            cv.put(this.mCtx.getResources().getString(R.string.cv_col2), params[1]);
            cv.put(this.mCtx.getResources().getString(R.string.cv_col3), params[2]);
            cv.put(this.mCtx.getResources().getString(R.string.cv_col4), params[3]);

            if (!wdb.isOpen()) {
                Log.w(TAG, "wdb will be opened");
                wdb = this.mSQLiteHelper.getWritableDatabase();
            }

            rowId = wdb.insert(this.mCtx.getResources().getString(R.string.str_sqlite_table_name), null, cv);

            if (rowId != -1) {
                Log.v(TAG, "row inserted correctly. rowid: " + rowId);
            } else {
                Log.v(TAG, "row insertion error");
            }

            Log.d(TAG, "params[0]: " + params[0]);
            Log.d(TAG, "params[1]: " + params[1]);
            Log.d(TAG, "params[2]: " + params[2]);
            Log.d(TAG, "params[3]: " + params[3]);
        }

    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
