My question is : How can I initialize the database only once and can access it from all my Activities? (Hint: I have sqlite files in my assets folder,which I copy to my system database folder when the app stars.)
Thanks in advance!
EDIT : I forgot to say that I have 2 different sqlite databases in my application and I want to be able to initialize both of them for the whole application and can use them.That's something that I was trying to do :
DataBaseHelper dbHelper;
//some code
dbHelper = new DataBaseHelper(context, "ops_sys_tpl.sqlite", null, 1);
DataBaseHelper.initialize(context, "stampii_sys_tpl.sqlite");
dbHelper.copyDataBase("ops_sys_tpl.sqlite");
dbHelper.getDatabase();
dbHelper.executeQuery("users", "objectId", "2");
dbHelper.executeQuery("users","serverName","stampii");
dbHelper.executeQuery("users", "objectId", "3");
dbHelper.executeQuery("users","serverName","stampii");
dbHelper.executeQuery("users", "objectId", "3");
