Raw Resources file filepath

Question

Do I have a database placed in an unprocessed folder and do I need to load the database path when apk is installed? Where is it? in / data / data / package_name / FILE? I do not see this?

I am working with an existing sqlite database.

Answer 1

It has no way: it is a resource, so you need to reference as such using getResources() .

You should copy it to /data/data/YOUR_APP_FOLDER/databases/YOUR_DB.db for the first time

Answer 2

Files in the raw folder are packed into the application’s APK file. To open one of these files, use getResources().openRawResource(int id) .
