Question

Using MonoDroid in Visual Studio and an emulator, I am trying to copy a asset, “db.sqlite” from the assets folder to the SD card so that I can open the database for read/write.

When I run the app, it dies. MonoDroid is not giving me any debug info.

string destPath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(
       Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal), "db.sqlite");

if (!File.Exists(destPath))
 using (Stream stream = Assets.Open("db.sqlite"))
 {
   stream.CopyTo(File.Create(destPath));
   stream.Close();
 }
