在Android Studio 3.0中附带数据库文件发布应用程序

对我来说，发布带有数据库文件的应用程序是个好主意。这样做的优点是不需要进行复杂的初始化，如果数据集很大，初始化有时会花费大量时间。

步骤1:准备数据库文件

准备好数据库文件。它可以是.db文件或.sqlite文件。如果您使用.sqlite文件，您所需要做的就是更改文件扩展名。步骤是一样的。

在本例中，我准备了一个名为testDB.db的文件。它有一个表和一些样本数据，像这样

步骤2:将文件导入到项目中

如果您还没有资产文件夹，请创建资产文件夹。然后将数据库文件复制并粘贴到此文件夹中

步骤3:复制文件到应用程序的数据文件夹

你需要将数据库文件复制到应用程序的数据文件夹中，以便与它进行进一步的交互。这是复制数据库文件的一次性操作(初始化)。如果多次调用此代码，data文件夹中的数据库文件将被assets文件夹中的数据库文件覆盖。当你想在未来的应用程序更新期间更新数据库时，这个覆盖过程是有用的。

注意，在应用程序更新期间，这个数据库文件不会在应用程序的数据文件夹中被更改。只有卸载才会删除它。

数据库文件需要复制到“/databases”文件夹下。打开设备文件资源管理器。输入data/data/<YourAppName>/ location。这是上面提到的应用程序的默认数据文件夹。默认情况下，数据库文件将放在该目录下的另一个名为databases的文件夹中

现在，复制文件的过程与Java所做的非常相似。使用下面的代码进行复制粘贴。这是起始代码。它还可以用于将来更新(通过覆盖)数据库文件。

//get context by calling "this" in activity or getActivity() in fragment
//call this if API level is lower than 17  String appDataPath = "/data/data/" + context.getPackageName() + "/databases/"
String appDataPath = context.getApplicationInfo().dataDir;

File dbFolder = new File(appDataPath + "/databases");//Make sure the /databases folder exists
dbFolder.mkdir();//This can be called multiple times.

File dbFilePath = new File(appDataPath + "/databases/testDB.db");

try {
    InputStream inputStream = context.getAssets().open("testDB.db");
    OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(dbFilePath);
    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
    int length;
    while ((length = inputStream.read(buffer))>0)
    {
        outputStream.write(buffer, 0, length);
    }
    outputStream.flush();
    outputStream.close();
    inputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e){
    //handle
}

然后刷新文件夹以验证复制过程

步骤4:创建数据库打开帮助程序

为SQLiteOpenHelper创建一个子类，包括连接、关闭、路径等。我把它命名为DatabaseOpenHelper

import android.content.Context;
import android.database.SQLException;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;

public class DatabaseOpenHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
    public static final String DB_NAME = "testDB.db";
    public static final String DB_SUB_PATH = "/databases/" + DB_NAME;
    private static String APP_DATA_PATH = "";
    private SQLiteDatabase dataBase;
    private final Context context;

    public DatabaseOpenHelper(Context context){
        super(context, DB_NAME, null, 1);
        APP_DATA_PATH = context.getApplicationInfo().dataDir;
        this.context = context;
    }

    public boolean openDataBase() throws SQLException{
        String mPath = APP_DATA_PATH + DB_SUB_PATH;
        //Note that this method assumes that the db file is already copied in place
        dataBase = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(mPath, null, SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READWRITE);
        return dataBase != null;
    }

    @Override
    public synchronized void close(){
        if(dataBase != null) {dataBase.close();}
        super.close();
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
    }

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

步骤5:创建与数据库交互的顶级类

这将是读取和写入数据库文件的类。还有一个示例查询，用于打印数据库中的值。

import android.content.Context;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.database.SQLException;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.util.Log;

public class Database {
    private final Context context;
    private SQLiteDatabase database;
    private DatabaseOpenHelper dbHelper;

    public Database(Context context){
        this.context = context;
        dbHelper = new DatabaseOpenHelper(context);
    }

    public Database open() throws SQLException
    {
        dbHelper.openDataBase();
        dbHelper.close();
        database = dbHelper.getReadableDatabase();
        return this;
    }

    public void close()
    {
        dbHelper.close();
    }

    public void test(){
        try{
            String query ="SELECT value FROM test1";
            Cursor cursor = database.rawQuery(query, null);
            if (cursor.moveToFirst()){
                do{
                    String value = cursor.getString(0);
                    Log.d("db", value);
                }while (cursor.moveToNext());
            }
            cursor.close();
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            //handle
        }
    }
}

步骤6:测试运行

通过运行以下代码行来测试代码。

Database db = new Database(context);
db.open();
db.test();
db.close();

按下跑步键，欢呼吧!

从我所看到的，你应该是一个已经有表设置和数据的数据库。然而，如果你愿意(取决于你拥有的应用程序类型)，你可以允许“升级数据库选项”。然后你要做的就是下载最新的sqlite版本，获得在线托管的文本文件的最新Insert/Create语句，执行这些语句，并从旧的db进行数据传输到新的db。

我的解决方案既不使用任何第三方库，也不强迫您在SQLiteOpenHelper子类上调用自定义方法来在创建时初始化数据库。它还负责数据库升级。所有需要做的就是子类化SQLiteOpenHelper。

先决条件:

你希望与应用一起发布的数据库。它应该包含一个名为android_metadata的1x1表，其属性locale值为en_US，此外还有应用特有的表。

子类化SQLiteOpenHelper:

子类SQLiteOpenHelper。 在SQLiteOpenHelper子类中创建一个私有方法。此方法包含将数据库内容从“assets”文件夹中的数据库文件复制到在应用程序包上下文中创建的数据库的逻辑。 重写SQLiteOpenHelper的onCreate, onUpgrade和onOpen方法。

足够的说。下面是SQLiteOpenHelper子类:

public class PlanDetailsSQLiteOpenHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
    private static final String TAG = "SQLiteOpenHelper";

    private final Context context;
    private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;
    private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "my_custom_db";

    private boolean createDb = false, upgradeDb = false;

    public PlanDetailsSQLiteOpenHelper(Context context) {
        super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
        this.context = context;
    }

    /**
     * Copy packaged database from assets folder to the database created in the
     * application package context.
     * 
     * @param db
     *            The target database in the application package context.
     */
    private void copyDatabaseFromAssets(SQLiteDatabase db) {
        Log.i(TAG, "copyDatabase");
        InputStream myInput = null;
        OutputStream myOutput = null;
        try {
            // Open db packaged as asset as the input stream
            myInput = context.getAssets().open("path/to/shipped/db/file");

            // Open the db in the application package context:
            myOutput = new FileOutputStream(db.getPath());

            // Transfer db file contents:
            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int length;
            while ((length = myInput.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                myOutput.write(buffer, 0, length);
            }
            myOutput.flush();

            // Set the version of the copied database to the current
            // version:
            SQLiteDatabase copiedDb = context.openOrCreateDatabase(
                DATABASE_NAME, 0, null);
            copiedDb.execSQL("PRAGMA user_version = " + DATABASE_VERSION);
            copiedDb.close();

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw new Error(TAG + " Error copying database");
        } finally {
            // Close the streams
            try {
                if (myOutput != null) {
                    myOutput.close();
                }
                if (myInput != null) {
                    myInput.close();
                }
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                throw new Error(TAG + " Error closing streams");
            }
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
        Log.i(TAG, "onCreate db");
        createDb = true;
    }

    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
        Log.i(TAG, "onUpgrade db");
        upgradeDb = true;
    }

    @Override
    public void onOpen(SQLiteDatabase db) {
        Log.i(TAG, "onOpen db");
        if (createDb) {// The db in the application package
            // context is being created.
            // So copy the contents from the db
            // file packaged in the assets
            // folder:
            createDb = false;
            copyDatabaseFromAssets(db);

        }
        if (upgradeDb) {// The db in the application package
            // context is being upgraded from a lower to a higher version.
            upgradeDb = false;
            // Your db upgrade logic here:
        }
    }
}

最后，要获得一个数据库连接，只需在SQLiteOpenHelper子类上调用getReadableDatabase()或getWritableDatabase()，它将负责创建一个db，如果数据库不存在，则从'assets'文件夹中的指定文件复制db内容。

简而言之，您可以使用SQLiteOpenHelper子类来访问资产文件夹中附带的db，就像您在onCreate()方法中使用SQL查询初始化数据库一样。

创建和更新数据库有两个选项。

One is to create a database externally, then place it in the assets folder of the project and then copy the entire database from there. This is much quicker if the database has a lot of tables and other components. Upgrades are triggered by changing the database version number in the res/values/strings.xml file. Upgrades would then be accomplished by creating a new database externally, replacing the old database in the assets folder with the new database, saving the old database in internal storage under another name, copying the new database from the assets folder into internal storage, transferring all of the data from the old database (that was renamed earlier) into the new database and finally deleting the old database. You can create a database originally by using the SQLite Manager FireFox plugin to execute your creation sql statements.

另一种选择是从sql文件内部创建数据库。这没有那么快，但是如果数据库只有几个表，用户可能不会注意到延迟。通过更改res/values/strings.xml文件中的数据库版本号来触发升级。然后通过处理一个升级sql文件来完成升级。数据库中的数据将保持不变，除非它的容器被删除，例如删除一个表。

下面的示例演示了如何使用这两种方法。

下面是一个create_database示例。sql文件。它将被放置在内部方法的项目资产文件夹中，或复制到SQLite管理器的“Execute SQL”中，以创建外部方法的数据库。(注意:注意关于Android需要的表的注释。)

--Android requires a table named 'android_metadata' with a 'locale' column
CREATE TABLE "android_metadata" ("locale" TEXT DEFAULT 'en_US');
INSERT INTO "android_metadata" VALUES ('en_US');

CREATE TABLE "kitchen_table";
CREATE TABLE "coffee_table";
CREATE TABLE "pool_table";
CREATE TABLE "dining_room_table";
CREATE TABLE "card_table"; 

下面是一个update_database示例。sql文件。它将被放置在内部方法的项目资产文件夹中，或复制到SQLite管理器的“Execute SQL”中，以创建外部方法的数据库。(注意:本例中包含的SQL解析器将忽略所有三种类型的SQL注释。)

--CREATE TABLE "kitchen_table";  This is one type of comment in sql.  It is ignored by parseSql.
/*
 * CREATE TABLE "coffee_table"; This is a second type of comment in sql.  It is ignored by parseSql.
 */
{
CREATE TABLE "pool_table";  This is a third type of comment in sql.  It is ignored by parseSql.
}
/* CREATE TABLE "dining_room_table"; This is a second type of comment in sql.  It is ignored by parseSql. */
{ CREATE TABLE "card_table"; This is a third type of comment in sql.  It is ignored by parseSql. }

--DROP TABLE "picnic_table"; Uncomment this if picnic table was previously created and now is being replaced.
CREATE TABLE "picnic_table" ("plates" TEXT);
INSERT INTO "picnic_table" VALUES ('paper');

下面是要添加到/res/values/strings.xml文件中的数据库版本号条目。

<item type="string" name="databaseVersion" format="integer">1</item>

下面是一个访问数据库并使用它的活动。(注意:如果数据库代码使用了大量资源，则可能需要在单独的线程中运行。)

package android.example;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.os.Bundle;

/**
 * @author Danny Remington - MacroSolve
 * 
 *         Activity for demonstrating how to use a sqlite database.
 */
public class Database extends Activity {
     /** Called when the activity is first created. */
     @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        DatabaseHelper myDbHelper;
        SQLiteDatabase myDb = null;

        myDbHelper = new DatabaseHelper(this);
        /*
         * Database must be initialized before it can be used. This will ensure
         * that the database exists and is the current version.
         */
         myDbHelper.initializeDataBase();

         try {
            // A reference to the database can be obtained after initialization.
            myDb = myDbHelper.getWritableDatabase();
            /*
             * Place code to use database here.
             */
         } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
         } finally {
            try {
                myDbHelper.close();
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            } finally {
                myDb.close();
            }
        }

    }
}

这里是数据库助手类，如果需要，数据库将在其中创建或更新。(注意:Android要求你创建一个扩展SQLiteOpenHelper的类，以便使用Sqlite数据库。)

将数据库导入apk，然后复制到/data/data/…将使数据库的大小增加一倍(1在apk, 1在data/data/…)，并将增加apk的大小(当然)。所以你的数据库不应该太大。

目前还没有办法预先创建一个SQLite数据库来与apk一起发布。最好的方法是将适当的SQL保存为资源，并从应用程序中运行它们。是的，这会导致数据的重复(同样的信息作为资源和数据库存在)，但目前没有其他方法。唯一的缓解因素是apk文件被压缩了。我的经验是908KB压缩到268KB以下。

下面的帖子有我找到的最好的讨论/解决方案，其中有很好的示例代码。

http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/9f455ae93a1cf152

我把我的CREATE语句存储为一个字符串资源，用Context.getString()读取，并用SQLiteDatabse.execSQL()运行。

我将插入的数据存储在res/raw/inserts中。sql(我创建了sql文件，7000+行)。使用上面链接的技术，我输入了一个循环，逐行读取文件，并将数据连接到“INSERT INTO tbl VALUE”，并执行另一个sqlitedatbase . execsql()。当它们可以连接时，保存7000个“INSERT INTO tbl VALUE”是没有意义的。

在模拟器上大约需要20秒，我不知道在真正的手机上需要多长时间，但它只发生一次，当用户第一次启动应用程序时。
