Create a database from a script in Android

Question

Is there a simple and elegant way to create a database from a script in Android ? I want to create my database on the first run from a script (maybe I'll have to parse the file), is that a non-android method cause I can't find a lot on this subject ?

My script only creates tables (there are no INSERT statements).

Thank's

Why do you want to do that? Android has all sorts of functions built in to help create a database. — Barak

@Fr4nz, it may be best if you explain why you wish to accomplish this. (i.e will every person have a different verion of the database? or the database will change without releasing a new build?) Otherwise, you will get responses very similar to the one above. Ultimately, there are a ton of ways to get what you want accomplished, but without more direction we will have very little ability to help you. Perhaps detailing the user experience may help? — Fuzzical Logic

Indeed, I need my database to store content for the offline mode of my app (when there is no connexion). It's the same database for every users, the tables are updated when the user uses the app with an active Internet connexion. How would you create such a database ? It contains 10 tables. — Fr4nz

You can try shipping the entire db in your app.

Your own sqlite db

You can also bundle a .sql file in your assets and then execute those scripts. Android APIs
