Question

Hi im trying to read sqlite file which is placed in assets/databases folder

i followed this link to read data from sqlite file
http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/

im getting error

no such table : while compiling
SELECT _id, name, address FROM
stores

Is there any permission i need to write in manifest to read sqlite file data?

Please let me know how i can solve this issue. Or else please give me any reference link to follow.

Thanks in advance

The way you’d want to do this is to make a new DBManager object that creates the database in its onCreate method–that way when the DatabaseHelper is first instantiated, the table will be created for you. Then you’d instantiate one and call getReadableDatabase() on it to get a DB object which you can then query.

After that, to set up the list view in a ListActivity, you can call setListAdapter and pass in a SimpleCursorAdapter. Here’s a tutorial on that: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#binding
