I created my own database for my project, but i am having a trouble pushing it in the data/data folder.
I first tested it out on my rooted phone and i successfully pushed the database that i created.
Now im facing a problem on testing it on a different phone. i get an error
android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: no such table: tblFirstAid: , while compiling: SELECT faName FROM tblFirstAid
I placed my database in the assets folder and it was running fine on my rooted phone.
What code would i add for it to copy the file from the assets folder and push it inside the /data/data directory.
I already tried the one reigndesign and I am getting that error.
Here is my DB Helper Class
