If there is an application crashed dialog, there WILL be a stack crawl
printed in the logcat output. Always.
Hmm... I guess unless Samsung removed this. :p

That's odd. Those error dialogs are always supposed to generate Java
stack traces, AFAIK.

The following is extremely hackish untested psuedoJava, suitable only
for short-term use in emergency situations involving Christians and
Galaxies:
File rootDir=new File(getFilesDir(), "..");
File dbDir=new File(rootDir, "databases");
File db=new File(dbDir, "yourdatabasenamehere");
if (!db.exists()) {
File sdDb=new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
"yourdatabasenamehere");
// insert binary file copy algorithm here, from sdDb to db
}
// open and use your database as normal
where the binary file copy algorithm could be:
http://exampledepot.com/egs/java.io/CopyFile.html
This presumes you put a working copy of your database in
/sdcard/yourdatabasenamehere via DDMS or adb push or mounting the SD
card in your desktop environment or whatever.
This is NOT a great way of doing this sort of thing for production, but
for the purposes of a soonish demo, it just might work.

[android-developers] Re: URGENT: install sqlite db on Android phone???
1. This is the logcat record:
Android Launch!
adb is running normally.
Performing com.database.test.v1.Bldatabase activity launch
Automatic Target Mode: Unable to detect device compatibility. Please
select a target device.
Uploading Bldatabase.apk onto device 'I7500OXEy3qBTwH'
Installing Bldatabase.apk...
Success!
Starting activity com.database.test.v1.Bldatabase on device
ActivityManager: Starting: Intent { comp={com.database.test.v1/
com.database.test.v1.Bldatabase} }
So the logcat actually shows no errors at all. The screen on the
device however give this "application has stopped" error. Nothing
else.
2. Do you have some sample code that would show a step-by-step
approach of the way you just described above? (I am a novice that's
why ...)
How can I directly make the application look for the database on the
SD card?

I just tried adb pull on a Google Ion, and you're right -- adb push and pull do not work.

[android-developers] Re: URGENT: install sqlite db on Android phone???
Mark - I just tried to push it through adb push onto the device. I got the following error now: failed to copy 'database.db' to 'data/ data/packagenamehere/databases/database.db': Permission denied It seems like the folder on the device is write protected and cannot copy it onto there. For installing / running the app on the device I only got the usual error that the application has stopped. This is certainly related to the missing SQLite database. Any further ideas?

If you have an existing SQLite database, with the device plugged in, and from the directory where the database resides, run: adb push your.db /data/data/your.package.here/databases where your.db is the SQLite database and your.package.here is the Java package for your application, as declared in your manifest. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Training: http://commonsware.com/training.html --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
