Mark - I just tried to push it through adb push .... onto the device. I got the following error now: failed to copy 'database.db' to 'data/ data/packagenamehere/databases/database.db': Permission denied
It seems like the folder on the device is write protected and cannot copy it onto there. For installing / running the app on the device I only got the usual error that the application has stopped. This is certainly related to the missing SQLite database. Any further ideas? On Jul 29, 4:02 pm, Mark Murphy <mmur...@commonsware.com> wrote: > Christian S. wrote: > > Folks, apologies ...
