Question

I’m using Database Helper and I got an error saying

SQLiteException near “/” syntax error;

My DB_PATH is

/data/data/com.mypackage/databases/

My DB_NAME isloading`. I can’t see what is causing the error.

Ok you should do something like this :

private static String DB_PATH = "/data/data/com.mypackage/databases/";

private static String DB_NAME = "DBNAME.db";

String myPath = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;

then use the path like this:

SQLiteDatabase checkDB = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(myPath, null, SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY);

But remember to make sure you add “.db” at the end of your database name, and the actual database has .db, it is an obvious practice but sometimes is the main issue 🙂

Good Luck
