You can't, at least not directly, AFAIK. The solution I have been using is to use the .dump command in sqlite3 to convert the database into SQL statements (create the table, create the indexes, insert the data). Then, I put that file in res/raw/ and have my SQLiteOpenHelper subclass execute the statements in that file. I have put this all into my build process, so all I need to do is increment the version number of the database in my SQLiteOpenHelper, and everything else is automatic. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009 http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
