Can someone help me? On Oct 20, 5:36 pm, Wouter wouterg...@gmail.com wrote: Hey, I am working on a project for a belgium Tv Guide. Now I download a database (.db) file from a server to the sdcard to work with. In this database are 2 tabels, tvchannels and tvprograms. Now I can do several updates to the tvchannels table and i want to make a backup of this table to a lokal database file. How can i do that? I want to do this because I have to download a new database file every daye from the server and the channels that are choses are saved in the tvchannels database. I want to backup this database table and when the new database file (tvgids.db) is downloaded I want to replace the tvchannels database (from downloaded database file) with the backup from tvchannels.. Anyone has an idea? Thank you, Wouter --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Either you already know your path to your database, or you can use getDatabasePath() to find that path. To be safe, I recommend you have all SQLite* objects and Cursors on that database closed before making the file copy. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 1.6 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
