---------------------------
Summary: Load/create a database in SD card
Key: CB-1191
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1191
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Samik R
I would like to be able to access or create an SQLite database on SD card in
android/WP7 or in the persistent storage in iOS. Currently I am working in
Android, so I will limit the comments to Android for now.
Looking at the android code for openDatabase call in Storage.java, I see that
if the path of the DB is null, it is set to app-path. But there is no way to
set the path of the DB or pass it in the call. It seems like an easy fix: we
need a call to set the path to a string, or accept a FileEntry object as the
database in the same openDatabase call.
Here is the relevant part of the code:
<<
public void openDatabase(String db, String version, String display_name,
long size) {
// If database is open, then close it
if (this.myDb != null) {
this.myDb.close();
}
// If no database path, generate from application package
if (this.path == null) {
this.path =
this.cordova.getActivity().getApplicationContext().getDir("database",
Context.MODE_PRIVATE).getPath();
}
this.dbName = this.path + File.pathSeparator + db + ".db";
this.myDb = SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(this.dbName, null);
}
>>
Please let me know if I am missing something. I am new to this stuff.
Thanks and regards.
