  /**
   * <p>
   * Use it on fields of any enhanced class to injects an OrmLite Dao, configured
   * with the provided mode and helper classes.
   * </p>
   * <p>
   * The helper paramter is mandatory and should hold the class of your database
   * helper which should extend
   * com.j256.ormlite.android.apptools.OrmLiteSqliteOpenHelper
   * </p>
   * <p>
   * <b>Note:</b> The minimum version required of ORMLite is 4.21
   * </p>
   * <p>
   * <b>Note:</b> For getting and releasing the helper, we use the <a href=
   * "http://ormlite.com/javadoc/ormlite-android/com/j256/ormlite/android/apptools/OpenHelperManager.html"
   * >OpenHelperManager</a> class, which cannot handle two different helpers at
   * the same time. So if you are using multiple database helpers, be careful with
   * {@link OrmLiteDao} annotations.
   * </p>
   * <blockquote>
   * 
   * Example :
   * 
   * <pre>
   * &#064;EActivity
   * public class MyActivity extends Activity {
   * 
   * 	// UserDao is a Dao&lt;User, Long&gt;
   * 	&#064;OrmLiteDao(helper = DatabaseHelper.class)
   * 	UserDao userDao;
   * 
   * 	&#064;OrmLiteDao(helper = DatabaseHelper.class)
   * 	Dao&lt;Car, Long&gt; carDao;
   *
   * 	&#064;OrmLiteDao(helper = DatabaseHelper.class)
   * 	void singleInjection2(UserDao userDao) {
   * 		// do stuff
   * 	}
   *
   * 	void multiInjection(&#064;OrmLiteDao(helper = DatabaseHelper.class) UserDao userDao, &#064;OrmLiteDao(helper = DatabaseHelper.class) Dao&lt;Car, Long&gt; carDao;) {
