从Android应用访问外部数据库

标签: android database sqlite data-transfer

我有一个带有大约15MB数据的sqlite数据库(太大而无法存储在每个设备上)。我正在构建一个应用程序来与这些数据进行交互。如何从存储应用程序的任何位置访问数据库。我不是要求某人为我做这件事,而是在哪里研究如何做到这一点。是否有一个Android模块在传递IP地址(或FTP服务器IP?)后才这样做。我从哪里开始研究托管我的数据库的最佳方式,然后将其链接到我的应用程序?关于如何实现这一目标的高级别简介是什么?谢谢!

两种方式

  1. 您可以向Web服务器发送查询并检索结果(您需要收到查询的Web服务器URL并通过HTTP发送结果)。

  2. 您可以下载数据库并将其放在app数据库目录中,然后您可以查询此数据库。

试试这个,

将您的externalDB文件放在assets文件夹中并打开此文件并写入您的数据库然后访问它,请参阅以下示例我在assets文件夹中的externalDB文件。

main.xml中

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >

<Button android:id="@+id/button01"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:text="Copy Database">
        </Button>

</LinearLayout>
