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

As the /asset directory is read only (because android .apk file is read-only) so you can't write anything in asset folder file, you have to first copy that sqlite database file into your application's internal storage /data/data//databases directory then you can modify your database file..

1. Copy your pre-populated sqlite database file into data/data//databases directory,

2. Open that database file (from /databases/ directory) in your sqlite database helper class..

3. Perform insert, update or select operation on that database..
