How open readOnly database from assets

Question

I want opy some static info from database from assets (dont need copy on device).

How I can do it?

This code open database from inner folder:

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

instead of the `DATABASE_NAME`, `(path to assets) + "\" + DATABASE_NAME` — SorryForMyEnglish, Jun 18 '15 at 11:30
и будет работать? Попробую. Как вы там? — Artem, Jun 18 '15 at 11:33
"(dont need copy on device)" -- that is not possible. SQLite needs a local file on the filesystem. Either use `SQLiteAssetHelper` as suggested in the answer, or do not store a SQLite database in assets, but instead something else that you can parse yourself. — CommonsWare, Jun 18 '15 at 11:37

Try to use SQLiteAssetHelper, which has all the code that you need to install a pre-packaged database when your app is first run.
