I wanna use a external database sqlite in my android app.

I have copied a database in assets folder in my java android project (database.db.zip) but i can't use this database with normal guides on web.

i have create this class

public class MyDatabase extends SQLiteAssetHelper {

private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "parole.db";
private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;

public MyDatabase(Context context) {
    super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
}

}

i how i can use this for reading my database ?

Please refer http://blog.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/ to use existing db. – Hiren Dabhi Sep 26 '15 at 07:12

Use [SqliteAssetHelper](https://github.com/jgilfelt/android-sqlite-asset-helper) library. – Kunu Sep 26 '15 at 07:22
Don't zip it; this is done automatically for the entire .apk. – CL. Sep 26 '15 at 08:50
