I am using an external database in android app and it is working fine on all emulators and on samsung real devices. But when I am checking on the Acer smart phone, my application going crash with following exception:
android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: no such table:
It is strange to me. I have checked under the data folder in file explorer where my databases and all tables are present.
I am not getting why it is happening.
Please guide me. Thanks in advance
Code of sql helper class is as following:
public class MyDatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
// System path of application database.
private static String DB_PATH = MyApplication.getAppContext()
.getFilesDir().getParentFile().getPath()
+ "/databases/";
private static String DB_NAME = "myDB";
private SQLiteDatabase myDataBase;
private final Context myContext;
/**
* Constructor Takes and keeps a reference of the passed context in order to
* access to the application assets and resources.
*
* @param context
*/
public MyDatabaseHelper(Context context) {
super(context, DB_NAME, null, 1);
this.myContext = context;
}
/**
* Creates a empty database on the system and rewrites it with own database.
*
*/
public void createDataBase() throws IOException {
checkDataBase();
// Creates empty database default system path
this.getReadableDatabase();
try {
copyDataBase();
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new Error("Error copying database");
}
}
/**
* Checks if the database already exist to avoid re-copying the file each
* time whenever the application opened.
*
* @return true if it exists, false if it doesn't
*/
private boolean checkDataBase() {
SQLiteDatabase checkDB = null;
try {
String myPath = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;
checkDB = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(myPath, null,
SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY);
} catch (SQLiteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (checkDB != null) {
checkDB.close();
}
return checkDB != null ? true : false;
}
/**
* Copies database from local assets-folder to the just created empty
* database in the system folder and from where it can be accessed and
* handled using byte stream transferring.
*
*/
private void copyDataBase() throws IOException {
// Open local db as the input stream
InputStream myInput = myContext.getAssets().open(DB_NAME + ".db");
// Path of the just created empty db
String outFileName = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;
// Open the empty db as the output stream
OutputStream myOutput = new FileOutputStream(outFileName);
// transfer bytes from the input file to the output file
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length;
while ((length = myInput.read(buffer)) > 0) {
myOutput.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
// Close the streams
myOutput.flush();
myOutput.close();
myInput.close();
}
public SQLiteDatabase openDataBase() throws SQLException {
// Opens the database
String myPath = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;
return SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(myPath, null,
SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY);
}
@Override
public synchronized void close() {
if (myDataBase != null)
myDataBase.close();
super.close();
}
@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase arg0, int arg1, int arg2) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
Finally I resolved my question.
I just get readable database into the database and close it just after open it again. My complete code is as follows:
public class MyDatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
// System path of application database.
private static String DB_PATH = MyApplication.getAppContext()
.getFilesDir().getParentFile().getPath()
+ "/databases/";
private static String DB_NAME = "myDB";
private SQLiteDatabase myDataBase;
private final Context myContext;
/**
* Constructor Takes and keeps a reference of the passed context in order to
* access to the application assets and resources.
*
* @param context
*/
public MyDatabaseHelper(Context context) {
super(context, DB_NAME, null, 1);
this.myContext = context;
}
/**
* Creates a empty database on the system and rewrites it with own database.
*
*/
public void createDataBase() throws IOException {
checkDataBase();
SQLiteDatabase db_Read = null;
// Creates empty database default system path
db_Read = this.getReadableDatabase();
db_Read.close();
try {
copyDataBase();
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new Error("Error copying database");
}
}
/**
* Checks if the database already exist to avoid re-copying the file each
* time whenever the application opened.
*
* @return true if it exists, false if it doesn't
*/
private boolean checkDataBase() {
SQLiteDatabase checkDB = null;
try {
String myPath = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;
checkDB = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(myPath, null,
SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY);
} catch (SQLiteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (checkDB != null) {
checkDB.close();
}
return checkDB != null ? true : false;
}
/**

// Path of the just created empty db

// Open the empty db as the output stream

// transfer bytes from the input file to the output file
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length;
while ((length = myInput.read(buffer)) > 0) {
myOutput.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
// Close the streams
myOutput.flush();
myOutput.close();
myInput.close();
}
public SQLiteDatabase openDataBase() throws SQLException {

}

// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase arg0, int arg1, int arg2) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
I found my answer here:
Probably you have hardcoded the path to the database. For different devices it may be different. Use Envirenment.getExternalStorageDirectory() to create the path to your database.
try with this private static String DB_PATH = "/data/data/your package name/databases/";
