copy database from assets to databases folder [duplicate]

Answer 1

My method

Get Your Database path using the following

ContextWrapper cw =new ContextWrapper(getApplicationContext());
DB_PATH =cw.getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath()+ "/databases/"; //edited to databases

Then you can go this way

private void copyDataBase()
    {
        Log.i("Database",
                "New database is being copied to device!");
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        OutputStream myOutput = null;
        int length;
        // Open your local db as the input stream
        InputStream myInput = null;
        try
        {
            myInput =myContext.getAssets().open(DB_NAME);
            // transfer bytes from the inputfile to the
            // outputfile
            myOutput =new FileOutputStream(DB_PATH+ DB_NAME);
            while((length = myInput.read(buffer)) > 0)
            {
                myOutput.write(buffer, 0, length);
            }
            myOutput.close();
            myOutput.flush();
            myInput.close();
            Log.i("Database",
                    "New database has been copied to device!");


        }
        catch(IOException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
