Is there something like a FileDialog available? From previous threads, it appears there isn't one.
If not, has someone written one?
I want to allow a user to
a) Specify a folder/filename on storage for creating an SQLite database.
b) Specify an existing file/folder on storage card for opening as an SQLite Database.

How to read data from the assets folder sqlite database file with .sqlite extension in my Android application?
View 3 Replies View RelatedPlease direct me to a description of the techniques that the ContentProvider employs to access data. I am trying to understand how it works as well as what is tunable or even if its meant to be tunable. It the memory management tiered, cached, virtual, flat? Is it file based, shmem based, stream based? Can there be a combination thereof?
Any information, suggestions, or references are welcome. The android fundamentals page says: "The data can be stored in the file system, in an SQLite database, or in any other manner that makes sense;" but the android ContenProvider page barely skins the onion.
I am new to android and I have a problem in creating a database.
public class database extends ListActivity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private final String MY_DATABASE_NAME = "myCoolUserDB.db";
private final String MY_DATABASE_TABLE = "t_Users";
Context c;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ArrayList<String> results = new ArrayList<String>();
setContentView(R.layout.main);
SQLiteDatabase mydb=null;
try
{
mydb.openOrCreateDatabase(MY_DATABASE_NAME, null);
} catch(Exception e){}
}}
When I run this code it throws a run time exception.
I want to create a SQLite database in my app, which contains three tables, I will add data into tables and will use them later on.but I like to keep database ,as if when app is first time installed it checks whether the database exist or not, if exists it updates it else if not then creates a new database.further more I am making a DB class to facilitate my app,so I wont be creating an activity for my database creation.if there are possible advices, please share with me
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am creating an app which allows for many different Activities to be started from a TabActivity(up to ~25). Most of the activities require data from the sqlite database, so when onCreate is run, an AsyncTask creates an SQLiteOpenHelper object(which will open a readable/writable database), runs a query, data is retrieved, and everything is then closed.
I was just testing messing around to see if i could break something, so i added every Activityto the TabActivity's TabHost. I then started mashing each tab as quickly as possible.
I noticed that very quickly i began to see in the LogCat: Caused by: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: database is locked: BEGIN EXCLUSIVE; and the app proceeded to die.
Typically there will only be about 4-6 tabs(i can just limit the user anyway) for the TabHost. I haven't been able to break anything with a small amount of tabs to mash, but i am still worried that maybe i am accessing the database in a poor way.
How can i prevent my SQLiteDatabase objects to cause a lock?
If i create a ContentProvider will that eliminate the possibility of database locking?
Do you have any suggestions for changes I could make for accessing data from an SQLiteDatabase?
I ended up taking the approach of using the Application class and storing 1 SQLiteOpenHelper and trying my best to keep it synchronized. This seems to be working great - i put all my 25 activities in the TabHost and mashed away on them with no errors.
I am calling ((SQLiteDbApplication)getApplication()).setDbHelper(new DBHelper(this, Constants.DB_NAME, null, Constants.DB_VERSION_CODE)); method(shown below) in every onCreate() in my activities
Any further suggestions to this approach or to the changes i made using this Application class?

Is there a way for an Android user to browse the SQLite databases on his/her phone and view the data in the databases?
I use the SoftTrace beta program a lot. It's great but has no way that I can find to download the data it tracks to a PC.
I am developing an application that periodically sends information to an external server.I make a local copy of the data being sent, for backup purposes.What is the best option to store the data in terms of saving battery life? Each data submission is a serialized object (the class has 5 fields, including a date, numbers and strings) of about 5K-10K.Any other idea?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to inject a long text entry into a SQLite database, in a TEXT field. This text has new lines in it (i.e. it spans multiple paragraphs). I can get the new lines to show up if I do the INSERT manually:
INSERT INTO "LOGENTRY" VALUES(5,40,'PLACE','line1
line2
line4
',1283990533315,'4A','TEXT','',NULL);
but if I have the equivalent text in a CSV file and attempt to .import it into the table, I get an error that it's expecting more columns than exist (as soon as the new line is encountered, the program assumes it's the end of the input and thus it's missing columns). Is this possible? Or is the only way to manually do each INSERT?

I suspect it's caused by trying to read a big file. If not, I have no clue why.
I tested the same code using much smaller text file, and it worked fine.
Can anyone help me out on this? I've searched many places, but no place gave me the clear answer, or good solution. Good meaning efficient or easy.
I will try use BufferedInput(Output)Stream, but if the simpler one cannot work, I don't think this will work either.
Can anyone explain the fundamental limits in file input/output in Android, and the right way around it, possibly?
