By 'dblite file' you mean a SQLite database file, right? The short answer is: sort of. The longer answer is: SQLite can only open *files*. (i.e. something on the filesystem.) While you can ship files in your apk in the form of raw resources, they don't actually appear as files, and so you then can't open them from SQLite. (Context.openRawResource() will only return you an InputStream, but SQLiteDatabase.open() wants a path or a file.) So you could ship a SQLite database in your apk, but you'd have to copy it out of the apk and into you app's file storage area before you could use it. In fact, if you were going this route it would probably be more sensible to ship an SQL dump rather than a raw database --- Android stores some magic data in its databases which you'd have to replicate, and using an SQL dump generally makes life easier. Unfortunately, actually *running* the SQL dump is needlessly hard on Android (Android will only let you run one statement at a time), but it is quite manageable. - -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ │ "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who │ know we don't." --- Bjarne Stroustrup -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFKueJPf9E0noFvlzgRAthhAKDX60/Ncgjmpuk0tDxiH8hkok180wCeK/Hp vBSptf70F+Qw3FkDhkXh6xI= =M5KP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
