unable to copy database using SQLiteAssetHelper class

Question

I am extending SQLiteAssetHelper class to use my pre-populated database from assets folder but my app crashed and gave an error saying Caused by: android.

Answer 1

Missing databases/mydb.sqlite file (or .zip, .gz archive) in assets, or target folder not writable

Do you have the database file in your assets/databases folder?

no, in assets folder only

SQLiteAssetHelper expects to find the prepopulated database file in databases folder under assets.
