I have some external sqlite files I'd like to include with my app. It looks like I can add them to the /assets folder, then read them from there? Is the /assets folder the appropriate location for them?
I've used SQLiteOpenHelper to open databases my app creates at runtime, which just uses a unique db name. Will the sqlite files in the assets folder also be accessible using SQLiteOpenHelper in the same manner?

Is there any tool that will allow me to browse databases on my Android device? Something like Sql Management Studio - you know GUI tool that displays databases, tables, row in tables, etc.
I'm using Eclipse for development (if it is important for plug-in suggestions).
Android includes a database engine (SQLite). In general, do the applications keep/manage their own databases (files) or is there a unifying database manager?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI read some stuff about SQLite databases to use them within my own application. so for this point, it should work.
BUT:
for most of my data stuff i need a database that i can directly put into my application. i read on stackoverflow that it's possible to put up to 1,2mb files in the assets folder and then copy them anywhere else to use them.
my question is:
is it possible to acces those databases in the assets folder directly to read from them? there's no need to insert data into this database, it's just a data storage to read from? is it possible? and if it is than how could i do this?
I dont know why but somehow my adt didnt create any database folder.Here is the code i used :
package com.example.test;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.database.Cursor;[code]....
My problem is, i cant find databases folder from file explorer through DDMS.
I'm using the built in sqlite library on the Android platform.
I'm considering adding several general purpose fields that users will be able to use for their own custom applications, but these fields will be blank most of the time.
My question is, how much overhead will these blank fields add to my database? Do null fields even take up per record memory in sqlite? If so, how much? I don't quite understand the inner workings of a sqlite database.
I've made a few apps now, which use an SQLite database, no problems. In my latest app, I want two tables, and I just released that every example I can find only creates one table. So, is this a limitation? Must I use only one table? Assuming I can use two, how do I go about changing my create script?

I believe the Java API does not give full access to the SMS database and other databases. Is there any way to have root access to some of those databases such as SMS and phone settings so that I can fetch some information out of it?

This is easily done on ContentProviders via ContentObservers. How do I do the same when iterating over local databases?
Lets say Im creating an Android app for a company that already provides some sort of online service. I want my android app to extend this online service and I want the app to interact with my remote databases, would I embed a web browser in my application or directly connect to my remote database from within my code? If I am directly connected to a database from within code and not through a web browser, would that be a security risk since the connection info would be distributed in the code?

I included a WebView in my activity and load some Javascript in it which is then going to get data from an external website.This works and displays fine but the problem is that my activity doesn't scroll when the WebView is done loading so I can't see the bottom of the WebView such as all the other Views I put below this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a library-only Android eclipse project (no main class, only library classes) that I want to include in my main Android Application project. I went to the Build Path and added the library project to the "Required projects on the build path" on the Projects tab, and checked it on the "Order and Export" tab. However, when the application is run, it emits VerifyError exception, because the class from the library project didn't happen to be packaged together in the apk.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my Android app, I always get VerifyErrors! And I cannot figure out why. Whenever I include a external JAR, I always get VerifyErrors when I try to launch my app (except for once, when I included Apache Log4j.) I usually get around this by taking the source of the library and adding it to my project, but I am trying to put the GData client library (http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/). I can get this in source, but it's dependencies (mail.jar, activation.jar, servlet-api.jar) I cannot, so I get verify errors. I would like to get to the root of this problem once and for all. I looked on the internet, but they all seem to talk about incomplete class files? which I do not know of.
View 7 Replies View RelatedCan anyone tell me, is it possible to use the ADB to pull and push a database from an app, without root privileges on the phone? For example, I know the location on my rooted magic and dream is:

I know that you can use ADB without root, but when trying to use the shell - you can't view that location without root privaliges. But I have been told you can use push and pull if you know the file you want? Basically I want to pull a database from MY app on a non rooted phone modify it and push it back on. Only trouble I have is, the two phones I have are both root and I don't have access to a non root one to try it out.

i am using for my mobile project in android platform
i use sqlite,i takes lot of time to retreive the data.
I'm trying this with my Nexus One.
I have the android SDK and have used the command
adb pull /data/data/com.myapp.android/databases C:pulls
but all I get is
pull: building file list...
0 files pulled. 0 files skipped.
Also, it seems no matter how much data I add to the tutorial NotePad app I installed, the data size for the app (as shown in Settings) never exceeds 8KB. How is this possible? Is there some other place where databases are stored? When I use the File Explorer view (that's part of ADT) in Eclipse, I see there's nothing in /data.
To add a twist, I have no trouble pulling any other files from the device. It's just databases I have trouble with.

View 2 Replies View Relatedi'm trying to include a maven java project into my android project. the maven project is the greader-unofficial project which allows developers access to google reader accounts, and handles all of the http transactions and URI/URL building, making grabbing feeds and items from google reader transparent to the developer. the project is available here:
the code is originally written for the standard jdk and uses classes from java.net that are not a part of the standard Android SDK. i actually tried to manually resolve all dependencies and ran into a problem when i got as far as including com.sun.syndication pieces required by the class be.lechtitseb.google.reader.api.util.AtomUtil.java... some of the classes in java.net that are in the standard jdk (i'm using 1.6) are not in the Android SDK. in addition, resolving all of these dependencies manually is just ridiculous when i'm compiling a maven project that should be pretty simple.
however, i can use maven to compile the sources with no issue. how can i include this maven project, which is dependent on the complete jdk, into my android project in such a way that it will compile so that i can access the GoogleReader class from my android project? and for the record, i don't have the expertise to rewrite this entire api to work with the standard Android SDK.
Try to select (or update) from custom databases (for example mmssms.db) but on init I see " Unable to open the database file".

Regarding sqlite3. I am able to run and control it remotely using the shell. is there a way to generate databases on the device using the remote tool? I didn't find any evidence that that is possible and I think the only way may be through the API. I just wanted to double check in case I missed this.
I've read the answer to a question as to how to access the contents of the databases, however I cannot seem to get it to work on my machine. Here is the shell log:
C:android-sdk-windows ools>adb -s emulator-5554 shell
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.demo.notepad2/databases/notes
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.demo.notepad2/databases/notes
SQLite version 3.5.9
Enter ".help" for instructions
sqlite> .tables
.tables
sqlite> ^C
C:android-sdk-windows ools>
SQLite simply echos my commands back to me, even although the Eclipse file browser tells me it exists. If I use the sqlite3 tool and use ".tables" the commands are accepted.
Is the SQLite syntax different through the emulator is am I missing something?
I apologize if this is a stupid question, nevertheless I need to ask. I am new to Android development and have gone through every single tutorial and reference provided. I have been doing great, with the exception of one stupid problem; I cannot find where the databases for some apps are stored.
For example I would like to build my own app that includes thousands of pre-made records from an established SQLite Database. As a reference I tried to use the "Searchable Dictionary" app from the provided programs in the Android SDK, but cannot find it.
I read that all databases are stored in /data/data//databases on the device, but I cannot find this location. So how would I access the database in Eclipse or anywhere else for that matter to set up my pre-configured database?
The app I'm working on has 4 tabs, 3 of which share many features, including a navigation bar a the bottom with Back, Edit, and Map buttons. There is exactly the same xml in all 3 layouts, so I'm trying to DRY this out by extracting that xml into a separate component, including it, and then going from there. Previously I had:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/showedit_toolbar" style="@style/showItemToolbar">
<ImageButton android:id="@+id/show_person_back_button"
style="@style/blackToolbarButton"
android:src="@drawable/left_white_arrow"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/show_person_map_button"
style="@style/blackToolbarButton"
android:text="map" android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/show_person_edit_button"
style="@style/blackToolbarButton"
android:text="edit" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/show_person_map_button"/>
</RelativeLayout>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="@id/showedit_toolbar"
style="@style/CoinLightTheme">
// Lots more layout omitted
I extracted out the bit that's repeated into an xml file called show_toolbar.xml, changing the names of variables to make it more generic across the 3 views
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/show_toolbar" style="@style/showItemToolbar">
<ImageButton style="@style/blackToolbarButton"
android:src="@drawable/left_white_arrow"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:id="@+id/show_back_button"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/show_map_button"
style="@style/blackToolbarButton"
android:text="map" android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/show_edit_button" style="@style/blackToolbarButton"
android:text="edit" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/show_map_button"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Then from within my original layout file, I replaced that big block of code with
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<include android:id="@+id/show_toolbar" layout="@layout/show_toolbar"/>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="@id/showedit_toolbar" style="@style/CoinLightTheme">
Now, the problem is that the view no longer shows up. Including Custom component causes it to be hidden behind main viewI can still click the buttons and they respond (i.e. if I click in the corner where the button should be, it still works), but I cannot see the buttons or bar onto which they were drawn. I cannot find very good documentation on how Include is supposed to work, so perhaps I am using it incorrectly.
Is android like windows etc where uninstalling an app leaves registry settings/ databases, etc that can at some point bog me down? If so how do i go about removing this extraneous data?
