How to connect your database to an Android application?

Question

Android

Hello.
There is a lot of information on how to create your own database in the code itself, but there is no working information on connecting an existing database.
First I want to learn how to work with a clean database, and then start working with ORMLite&
Thank you

Answer 1

write the same SQLiteOpenHelper but instead of creating a database, check if there is already a database file;
if not, then copy the finished database from assets (or from somewhere else, for example from the network) to /data/data/YOUR_PACKAGE/databases/DATABASE_NAME
update:

File datbasefile=context.getDatabasePath(DATABASE_NAME);
