[android-developers] Re: Using my own SQLite database
the problem is not whether you can write to it, it is WHEN you can write to it. you can do it for testing, but if you want to INSTALL a db that way, then you must first package it with your application, which means the space is used TWICE. the alternative is to download it after installation - into the data/ data/YOUR_PACKAGE/databases dir - which is what i do with one of my apps. if only we could access a db that is inside the apk.

[android-developers] Re: Using my own SQLite database
hi,gus. let me tell you the db path. /data/data/YOUR_PACKAGE/databases/ just copy your db file to that directory. i successly copy note_pad.db to that dir, and successly read the data in note_pad.db using SQLiteDatabase API. but ,when i copy another db file which is larger (about 16Mb), i encounter IOException. I try many times. always IOException. Maybe the file is too large. is there a limit size in YOUR_PACKAGE directory?

i know the reason. there is max size 1048576bytes 02-23 11:11:55.037: DEBUG/asset(16273): Data exceeds UNCOMPRESS_DATA_MAX (37623808 vs 1048576) it's too small.
