You'll notice that the original sample I showed you did something interesting:
if the file didn't exist, it created it programmatically:
bool exists = File.Exists (db);
if (!exists)
SqliteConnection.CreateFile (db);
var conn = new SqliteConnection("Data Source=" + db);
if (!exists) {
var commands = new[] {
"CREATE TABLE Items (Key ntext, Value
ntext)",
"INSERT INTO [Items] ([Key], [Value])
VALUES ('sample', 'text')",
};
foreach (var cmd in commands)
WithCommand (c => {
c.CommandText = cmd;
c.ExecuteNonQuery ();
});
}
return conn;
If you don't want to programmatically create the database, and you instead want
to bundle it with your app, what you'll need to do is place the database into
your Assets folder, then use the Assets APIs to copy the database onto disk
before you attempt to access it. Alternatively, you could embed the database as
an assembly resource, then use the Reflection APIs to find and extract the
resource.
There is no other way to get files extracted on the device. You have to place
them there, manually.
