[android-developers] Installing APK + DB

2011-07-03 Thread hectordu...@yahoo.com
hi guys,
I am trying to install my first ;-( Android application into a Samsung
tab phone device but it does not start; i wonder if i am missig
something in the process:

1- Appl needs a pre-existing sqlite database, which i have installed
(eclipse+DDS+pull) into my development environment ... so, it is
installed under data/data/MYAPPL/databases/myDB.db

2- the appl runs fine into the emulator

3- i have conected my phone device, start adb and have seen my device:
./adb kill-server
./adb start-server
./adb devices

4- i have installed (with sucess) my apk:
./adb install -l workspace/myAppl.apk

DOES THE APK FILE INCLUDES THE DB ?

5- disconnect my device:
./adb kill-server
+ unpluged

BUT, THE APPLICATION DOES NOT START:
 ... application has stopped unexpectedly ...

I think the problem is related with the database; maybe it does not
exist, but i am tryin to see waths going on ... may somebody help me ?

thanks in advance,

Hector

Not based on anything you have described here. You manually copied the
database to the device in step #1. That does not put the database
inside of the APK file, any more than copying a file to a Windows PC
automatically puts it inside an .MSI file.

 5- disconnect my device:
 ./adb kill-server
 + unpluged

 BUT, THE APPLICATION DOES NOT START:
  ... application has stopped unexpectedly ...

Use adb logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse to examine
LogCat and look at the stack trace associated with your error message.
