Android database creation

Question

I am creating a android application where I need to create the database in which data comes from excel file on first run when the application starts.

The problem is where should I keep the file and how do I access it in my android application or there is another method to create the database from excel sheet.

Answer 1

Use assets folder of your application. It allows you to store files there and access them through AssetManager . It has open(String filename); method which returns you InputStream to a file from assets folder.
