I created an android application in 4.0 version and kept my sqlite database in assets folder. When I am trying to run my application in 2.3 version I am getting the error “Error copying database”. I tried to change the checkdatabase method to the following but still it didnt work. Please can anybody guide me regarding this issue.
public boolean checkDataBase()
{
File dbFile = new File(DB_PATH + DB_NAME);
return dbFile.exists();
}

Thanks in advance
CheckDatabase
Change :
To :
CreateDatabase
You can then create an onUpgrade function if the database is upgraded. I hope this helps. let me know if I left anything out.
