How to insert data into the database file which is in the assets folder

Question

I have created a SQLite file and putted it on to assets folder. Now I am able to read the data from that file but I don\'t have any idea how to write to this database file.

Answer 1

you need to copy database file from asset and paste in /data/data/''/databases/ folder

private static String DB_NAME = "QuotesData.db";
private static String DB_PATH = "/data/data/[PACKAGE NAME]/databases/";
private void copyDataBase() throws IOException {

        InputStream myInput = context.getAssets().open(DB_NAME);

        String outFileName = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;

        OutputStream myOutput = new FileOutputStream(outFileName);

        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        int length;
        while ((length = myInput.read(buffer)) > 0) {
            myOutput.write(buffer, 0, length);
        }

        myOutput.flush();
        myOutput.close();
        myInput.close();

    }

In Above code : Replace [PACKAGE NAME ] with your package name I hope above code will help.

Thank You
