You can't write to assets. Although, if you want to normally use DB from assets, you should copy database files to some normal directory like getCacheDir() and return DB from sqlite open helper

are you trying to pre-populate the DB?

what seems to be the issue? you can either create a task to do after creating your Session Object or use the SqliteOpenHelper class to inject the data once the DB is created. however, this is usually a very bad idea.
