unable to copy database using SQLiteAssetHelper class

问题

I am extending SQLiteAssetHelper class to use my pre-populated database from assets folder but my app crashed and gave an error saying Caused by: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCantOpenDatabaseException: unknown error (code 14): Could not open database.

When I checked in ddms, there was no databases folder or my db file in data/data/com.sqlitetospinner1/. So to just test, I created a folder named databases and pushed the db file into it. After this the app started to work perfectly.

It means my AssetsHelper class failed to copy database.

AssetsHelper class:-

public class AssetsHelper extends SQLiteAssetHelper {

private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "mydb.sqlite";
private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;

public AssetsHelper(Context context) {
    super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);

}


public List<String> getAllColleges(){
    List<String> colleges = new ArrayList<String>();

    // Select All Query
    String selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM colleges_list ORDER BY Organization_Name";

    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);

    // looping through all rows and adding to list
    if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
        do {
            colleges.add(cursor.getString(1));
        } while (cursor.moveToNext());
    }

    // closing connection
    cursor.close();
    db.close();

    // returning colleges
    return colleges;
}

LogCat:-

回答1:

Missing databases/mydb.sqlite file (or .zip, .gz archive) in assets, or target folder not writable

Do you have the database file in your assets/databases folder?

no, in assets folder only

SQLiteAssetHelper expects to find the prepopulated database file in databases folder under assets.

回答2:

Right click on your database file in the Package Explorer,

& click on the Properties.

inside the Resource Tab make sure the "Write" Permission is Checked for the "Owner" and "Read" Permission is Checked for all the "Users".

回答3:

Make sure you have the db file under assets\databases folder in your app, in the main folder.

Also make sure you have specified the correct database name, so if your file name is data.db, your database name should be data.db.

public class MyHelperDatabase extends com.readystatesoftware.sqliteasset.SQLiteAssetHelper {

    private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "data.db";

Or if you are using Room:

public abstract class AppDatabase extends RoomDatabase {

    private static AppDatabase INSTANCE;

    @VisibleForTesting
    public static final String DATABASE_NAME = "data.db";

回答4:

Error: "Missing databases/EDMTQuiz2019.db file".
Cause: my folder was not named properly... It was assets/database, Instead of assets/databases
Solution: I solved mine by refactoring/renaming the folder "database" to "databases"
Summary: the new right path is assets/databases (the .db file is in the database folder)
