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

Try this

if (!db.exists()) {
    // Database does not exist so copy it from assets here
    Log.i("Database", "Not Found");
} else {
    Log.i("Database", "Found");
}
