Hi Mark, Yeah I think I need to write it to a local file, SQLiteDatabase has constructors which only read from a file path, or File instance.
I'm wondering though if I can stick it in res/raw and read it straight from there. Some examples like: http://www.anddev.org/working_with_files-t115.html I've added the sqlite file to my raw folder, it appears in my .R file, however eclipse intellisense cannot resolve it when I type R.raw.mydatabase - odd - Thanks On Oct 31, 7:42 am, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > Mark Wyszomierski wrote: > > I have some external sqlite files I'd like to include with my app. It > > looks like I can add them to the /assets folder, then read them from > > there?
