I have an android application that uses a SqLite database. Now i want to create the same application using Phone Gap. I need to use Jaydata to connect to the same Sqlite Database. I have gone through the documentation but could not find out where to place the database file so that it can be accessed from my application.

You don't have to place the database to a specific folder, JayData will create it for you (this is the supported method). More info in the thread - Query in JayData You can add a init mechanism that recognizes the first start of the app and inserts the necessary records to you DB - for example from a file.

  • Thanks Robesz , Does that mean that i have to create the database all over again with all the tables in jaydata? – Sourav301 Jul 04 '13 at 08:16
  • No, not at all, only at the first time. The database stays there and will be available during the following app starts. – Robesz Jul 04 '13 at 08:31
  • Ok i got it , but is there any way i can use my existing database? My database is pretty big one and i dont want to create it again. – Sourav301 Jul 04 '13 at 14:36
  • I would have shared it, but unfortunately there isn't a supported way. The recommended way is to export your data to a file and instert the data from the file unsing JayData during the first start of the app. – Robesz Jul 05 '13 at 09:43
