I have an SQLite3 Database (created in a desktop sqlite application), with the android_metadata

  • 0

I have an SQLite3 Database (created in a desktop sqlite application), with the android_metadata table for use in my android application.

What is the best way to create the android database using this database file?

I have tried including it in the assets folder, but got a size error when copying this to the application and wasn’t sure if this was due to the asset files having a maximum size.

I have also read guides on storing the database on the sd card and accessing it.

Which function on androids sqlite helper is best to open a new database from an sqlite3 export?

I pushed the database file to data/data/com../databases/ and it created an “android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabaseCorruptException: disk malformed..

Not sure how to do this, appreciate any help!

    You can attempt to use SQLiteAssetHelper for this, as it is designed to make it easy for developers to package a database with their app.

    That being said, your database is much too big. There are plenty of 1.6 devices that will not have room for both your APK and the unpacked database.
