Question

When using the following code to copy a SQLite database from an Assets folder , the output is being put in the following folder:
“/data/data/AndroidTestDb.AndroidTestDb/files/AndroidTestDup.db”

Here is the code:

Stream myInput = Assets.Open(@"AndroidTest.db");

string outFileName=System.IO.Path.Combine(System.Environment.GetFolderPath 
(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal), "AndroidTestDup.db");

Stream myOutput = new FileStream(outFileName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate);

And the desired folder +filename is :

“/data/data/AndroidTestDb.AndroidTestDb/databases/AndroidTestDup.db”

Thanks in Advance.

There is no direct way, the closest I can think of is:

// someContext may be the current activity
String outFileName = someContext.getFilesDir().getParent().getAbsolutePath() + "/databases/AndroidTestDup.db";
