error is

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/data/com.clppl.project/database/clppl.sqlite: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Here My DatabaseHandler class

  public class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper{

    //The Androids default system path of your application database.
    String DB_PATH =null;
    private static String DB_NAME = "clppl.sqlite";
    private SQLiteDatabase myDataBase;

    public DatabaseHelper(Context context) {

        super(context, DB_NAME, null, 1);
        this.myContext = context;
        DB_PATH="/data/data/com.clppl.project/assets/"; 
    }

        if(dbExist){
            //do nothing - database already exist
        }else{

            //By calling this method and empty database will be created into the default system path
               //of your application so we are gonna be able to overwrite that database with our database.
            this.getReadableDatabase();

            try {

                copyDataBase();

            } catch (IOException e) {

                throw new Error("Error copying database");

            }
        }

    }

        }

        }

        return checkDB != null ? true : false;
    }

    private void copyDataBase() throws IOException{

            if(myDataBase != null)
                myDataBase.close();

    }



    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {

    }

Java code where I am calling to open databse

 myDbHelper= new DatabaseHelper(context);

         try {

          myDbHelper.createDataBase();

        } catch (IOException ioe) {

            throw new Error("Unable to create database");

        }
         try {

            myDbHelper.openDataBase();


            }catch(SQLException sqle){

                throw sqle;

            }

  • File not found error occur when debugg Code Commented May 22, 2014 at 6:58
  • Try changing DB_PATH="/data/data/com.clppl.project/assets/"; to DB_PATH="/data/data/com.clppl.project/databases/"; Commented May 22, 2014 at 7:22

You have wrongly defined your DB_PATH. Your database will resides inside databases folder in your application's package directory not inside assets folder. There won't be created any assets folder.

Change your path as below:

      DB_PATH="/data/data/com.clppl.project/databases/";

instead of

       DB_PATH="/data/data/com.clppl.project/assets/";

@Kuldeep Change your path like this . DB_PATH="/data/data/com.clppl.project/database/";
@GrIsHu it is databases not database. I guess you mistyped it as database.
@Aniruddha Yes, Its was mistyped. Thanks :)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/data/com.clppl.project/database/clppl.sqlite: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory) this error ocuur
