How to use an existing database with an Android application

This question already has an answer here:

  • Ship an application with a database 16 answers

  • NOTE: Before trying this code, please find this line in the below code:

    private static String DB_NAME ="YourDbName"; // Database name
    

    DB_NAME here is the name of your database. It is assumed that you have a copy of the database in the assets folder, so for example if your database name is ordersDB, then the value of DB_NAME will be ordersDB,

    private static String DB_NAME ="ordersDB";
    

    Keep the database in assets folder and then follow the below:

    DataHelper class:

    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.FileOutputStream;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.InputStream;
    import java.io.OutputStream;
    
    import android.content.Context;
    import android.database.SQLException;
    import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
    import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;
    import android.util.Log;
    
    public class DataBaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper
    {
        private static String TAG = "DataBaseHelper"; // Tag just for the LogCat window
        //destination path (location) of our database on device
        private static String DB_PATH = "";
        private static String DB_NAME ="YourDbName";// Database name
        private SQLiteDatabase mDataBase;
        private final Context mContext;
    
        public DataBaseHelper(Context context)
        {
            super(context, DB_NAME, null, 1);// 1? Its database Version
            if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 17){
               DB_PATH = context.getApplicationInfo().dataDir + "/databases/";
            }
            else
            {
               DB_PATH = "/data/data/" + context.getPackageName() + "/databases/";
            }
            this.mContext = context;
        }
    
        public void createDataBase() throws IOException
        {
            //If the database does not exist, copy it from the assets.
    
            boolean mDataBaseExist = checkDataBase();
            if(!mDataBaseExist)
            {
                this.getReadableDatabase();
                this.close();
                try
                {
                    //Copy the database from assests
                    copyDataBase();
                    Log.e(TAG, "createDatabase database created");
                }
                catch (IOException mIOException)
                {
                    throw new Error("ErrorCopyingDataBase");
                }
            }
        }
    
        //Check that the database exists here: /data/data/your package/databases/Da Name
        private boolean checkDataBase()
        {
            File dbFile = new File(DB_PATH + DB_NAME);
            //Log.v("dbFile", dbFile + "   "+ dbFile.exists());
            return dbFile.exists();
        }
    
        //Copy the database from assets
        private void copyDataBase() throws IOException
        {
            InputStream mInput = mContext.getAssets().open(DB_NAME);
            String outFileName = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;
            OutputStream mOutput = new FileOutputStream(outFileName);
            byte[] mBuffer = new byte[1024];
            int mLength;
            while ((mLength = mInput.read(mBuffer))>0)
            {
                mOutput.write(mBuffer, 0, mLength);
            }
            mOutput.flush();
            mOutput.close();
            mInput.close();
        }
    
        //Open the database, so we can query it
        public boolean openDataBase() throws SQLException
        {
            String mPath = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;
            //Log.v("mPath", mPath);
            mDataBase = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(mPath, null, SQLiteDatabase.CREATE_IF_NECESSARY);
            //mDataBase = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(mPath, null, SQLiteDatabase.NO_LOCALIZED_COLLATORS);
            return mDataBase != null;
        }
    
        @Override
        public synchronized void close()
        {
            if(mDataBase != null)
                mDataBase.close();
            super.close();
        }
    }
    

    Write a DataAdapter class like:

    import java.io.IOException;
    import android.content.Context;
    import android.database.Cursor;
    import android.database.SQLException;
    import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
    import android.util.Log;
    
    public class TestAdapter
    {
        protected static final String TAG = "DataAdapter";
    
        private final Context mContext;
        private SQLiteDatabase mDb;
        private DataBaseHelper mDbHelper;
    
        public TestAdapter(Context context)
        {
            this.mContext = context;
            mDbHelper = new DataBaseHelper(mContext);
        }
    
        public TestAdapter createDatabase() throws SQLException
        {
            try
            {
                mDbHelper.createDataBase();
            }
            catch (IOException mIOException)
            {
                Log.e(TAG, mIOException.toString() + "  UnableToCreateDatabase");
                throw new Error("UnableToCreateDatabase");
            }
            return this;
        }
    
        public TestAdapter open() throws SQLException
        {
            try
            {
                mDbHelper.openDataBase();
                mDbHelper.close();
                mDb = mDbHelper.getReadableDatabase();
            }
            catch (SQLException mSQLException)
            {
                Log.e(TAG, "open >>"+ mSQLException.toString());
                throw mSQLException;
            }
            return this;
        }
    
        public void close()
        {
            mDbHelper.close();
        }
    
         public Cursor getTestData()
         {
             try
             {
                 String sql ="SELECT * FROM myTable";
    
                  Cursor mCur = mDb.rawQuery(sql, null);
                 if (mCur!=null)
                 {
                    mCur.moveToNext();
                 }
                 return mCur;
             }
             catch (SQLException mSQLException)
             {
                 Log.e(TAG, "getTestData >>"+ mSQLException.toString());
                 throw mSQLException;
             }
         }
    }
    

    Now you can use it like:

    TestAdapter mDbHelper = new TestAdapter(urContext);
    mDbHelper.createDatabase();
    mDbHelper.open();
    
    Cursor testdata = mDbHelper.getTestData();
    
    mDbHelper.close();
    

    EDIT: Thanks to JDx

    For Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), change:

    DB_PATH = "/data/data/" + context.getPackageName() + "/databases/";
    

    to:

    DB_PATH = context.getApplicationInfo().dataDir + "/databases/";
    

    in the DataHelper class this code will work on JB 4.2 multi users.


    试用在Android应用程序中使用自己的SQLite数据库。


    If you are having pre built data base than copy it in asset folder and create an new class as DataBaseHelper which implements SQLiteOpenHelper Than use following code:

    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.FileOutputStream;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.InputStream;
    import java.io.OutputStream;
    
    import android.content.Context;
    import android.database.Cursor;
    import android.database.SQLException;
    import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
    import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;
    
    public class DataBaseHelperClass extends SQLiteOpenHelper{
     //The Android's default system path of your application database.
    private static String DB_PATH = "/data/data/package_name/databases/";
    // Data Base Name.
    private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "DBName.sqlite";
    // Data Base Version.
    private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;
    // Table Names of Data Base.
    static final String TABLE_Name = "tableName";
    
    public Context context;
    static SQLiteDatabase sqliteDataBase;
    
    /**

            // Do Nothing.
        }else{
            this.getWritableDatabase();         
            copyDataBase(); 
        }// end if else dbExist
    } // end createDataBase().
    
    /**
     * Check if the database already exist to avoid re-copying the file each time you open the application.
     * @return true if it exists, false if it doesn't
     */
    public boolean checkDataBase(){
        File databaseFile = new File(DB_PATH + DATABASE_NAME);
        return databaseFile.exists();        
    }
    
    /**

    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
        // No need to write the create table query.
        // As we are using Pre built data base.
        // Which is ReadOnly.
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
        // No need to write the update table query.
        // As we are using Pre built data base.
        // Which is ReadOnly.
        // We should not update it as requirements of application.
    }   
    }
    

    Hope this will help you...
