I finally figured out how to copy the database from my free
application to the paid application.
After rebuilding numerous times and testing many different
combinations I discovered the following:
1) It doesn't matter if I use the debug signing key or my release
signing key, as long as both the
It would be nice if the Android Market Place allowed us to have
dependent applications. I could then put my shared data into a
seperate content provider application. Then on the Market (or even
better in my manifest) I could do:
My-paid-app depends on my-content-provider-app
My-free-app depends

Richard I read the discussion on another topic in this forum at

Use the paid-for app unlocks the free-app approach then you don't need
to share the database. In the free just test for the presence of your
paid-for unlock app. If you find it run with full functionality, if
you don't then run just with the restricted functionality of the free-
app.

Another sugguestion is to "unlock" your free app with an unlock-app.
You then don't have to do any data migration, have a read of:

I have managed to connect to the 'lite' database with the following
code:
Context other = cont.createPackageContext("com.skeniver.applite",
Context.CONTEXT_IGNORE_SECURITY);
DBAdapter odb = new DBAdapter(other);
String[] dbs = cont.databaseList();
and by adding the SharedUserID in the manifest (
After doing some more testing I have found that using a shared user ID
is not needed to access the other package's databases.
If you call Context.createPackageContext(,
Context.CONTEXT_IGNORE_SECURITY) then you can access the other
package's databases even if there is no shared user ID, as long a

Here is one possible strategy:
