How to link a database to your android application?

Question

Java

There are many articles on the Internet on how to programmatically create a database, and how to manage it. But what if I need to supply an already built database right along with the application? Can you give a link where this process is described, or explain how to do it?
PS I need my finished base to be packaged in apk, is it possible?

Answer 1

Do a database dump. Put it in a folder with resources, and when you start the application, check if the database is not deployed - install it, otherwise just connect and work with it.

Answer 2

A similar problem is described here , you need to look at the checkDataBase() and copyDataBase() functions
