How to check if a DB exists in Android?

Question

I am using Room API to implement a DB in my Android app. It seems that every time I load my app it tries to create the database again and again. Is there any way to restrict

Answer 1

You are using db that is, in fact, a file. You can check, if it exists, this method could be helpful:

private static boolean doesDatabaseExist(Context context, String dbName) {
    File dbFile = context.getDatabasePath(dbName);
    return dbFile.exists();
}
