I can't see see my database changes

Question

I've entered some entries to my database and control the changes on SQLiteManager.
But, when I run my app, I stil see my old entries in the app.

How can I fix this problem ?

Answer 1

When you provide your app with a prepopulatd database, then make external changes to that, it's not enough to put the updated db in the assets folder.

You must also delete the current db from the databases folder.

So, when your copy method will check for the database existence, it won't find it, and proceed with copying the new one in place.

Otherwise, the new database will remain in the assets folder and will never be copied over the old one.

This is why you get the old values instead of the updated ones.
