I have a question regarding creating an android application for travel guide. I am creating it offline. I am familiar with the problem that we access the database on the real device. I want an external database file in which the data is already filled. I just want to include this database in my apk and just want to access that database in my phone offline. I am using SLQite database. I had imported db file from assets folder. It works on emulator but not on a real device due to no access to system files.

Try to install your application in external storage of the device to access the files from the real device. Write in your manifest file `
` tag. This will install your application in external storage so that you will get access of db file. – GrIsHu Oct 08 '13 at 05:19

I think this blog post does what you want to do. I am using this approach in my applications for a while and I am satisfied with it.
It is fast and relatively easy. http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/
