Can I ship an android app, with a pre-populated objectbox db in it

Question

Pretty much as the title says.

I want to launch my Android app, using ObjectBox, but I\'d like the data to be prepopulated in the boxes.

Can I package both

Answer 1

As to the original question: yes, you can ship your app with an initial data file. You can prepare an ObjectBox database with all the data you need and then grab the data.mdb from the db director (default name is "objectbox").

The BoxStoreBuilder offers the overloaded method initialDbFilethis:

initialDbFile(java.io.File initialDbFile)

initialDbFile(Factory<java.io.InputStream> initialDbFileFactory)

Thus, you can either provide a File or an InputStream.
