Or you could do it in pedestrian mode and extend SQLiteOpenHelper yourself.
public void createDataBase() throws IOException {
boolean dbExist = checkDataBase();
if (dbExist) {
// do nothing - database already exist
} else {
// By calling this method and empty database will be created into
// the default system path
// of your application so we are gonna be able to overwrite that
// database with our database.
this.getReadableDatabase();
try {
copyDataBase();
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new Error("Error copying database");
}
}
}
