android - 发布带有数据库的应用程序

如果您的应用程序需要一个数据库并且它带有内置数据，那么发布该应用程序的最佳方式是什么？我是不是该:

预创建 SQLite 数据库并将其包含在 .apk 中?

在应用程序中包含 SQL 命令并让它创建数据库并在首次使用时插入数据？

我看到的缺点是:

可能的 SQLite 版本不匹配可能会导致问题，我目前不知道数据库应该去哪里以及如何访问它。

在设备上创建和填充数据库可能需要很长时间。

有什么建议么？指向有关任何问题的文档的指针将不胜感激。

Best Answer-推荐答案

创建和更新数据库有两种选择。

一种是在外部创建一个数据库，然后将其放在项目的 assets 文件夹中，然后从那里复制整个数据库。如果数据库有很多表和其他组件，这会更快。 通过更改 res/values/strings.xml 文件中的数据库版本号来触发升级。 然后通过在外部创建一个新数据库、用新数据库替换 assets 文件夹中的旧数据库、以另一个名称将旧数据库保存在内部存储中、将新数据库从 assets 文件夹复制到内部存储、转移所有将旧数据库(之前已重命名)中的数据转移到新数据库中，最后删除旧数据库。您最初可以使用 创建数据库。 SQLite Manager FireFox 插件 执行您的创建 sql 语句。

另一种选择是从 sql 文件内部创建数据库。这不是那么快，但如果数据库只有几个表，用户可能不会注意到延迟。 通过更改 res/values/strings.xml 文件中的数据库版本号来触发升级。 然后将通过处理升级 sql 文件来完成升级。数据库中的数据将保持不变，除非删除其容器，例如删除表。

下面的示例演示了如何使用这两种方法。

这是一个示例 create_database.sql 文件。内部方法要放在项目的assets文件夹中，或者复制到SQLite Manager的“执行SQL”中，为外部方法创建数据库。(注意:注意关于所需表的注释安卓。)

--Android requires a table named 'android_metadata' with a 'locale' column
CREATE TABLE "android_metadata" ("locale" TEXT DEFAULT 'en_US');
INSERT INTO "android_metadata" VALUES ('en_US');

CREATE TABLE "kitchen_table";
CREATE TABLE "coffee_table";
CREATE TABLE "pool_table";
CREATE TABLE "dining_room_table";
CREATE TABLE "card_table"; 

这是一个示例 update_database.sql 文件。内部方法要放在项目的assets文件夹中，或者复制到SQLite Manager的“Execute SQL”中，为外部方法创建数据库。(注意:注意所有三种SQL注释将被本示例中包含的 sql 解析器忽略。)

--CREATE TABLE "kitchen_table";  This is one type of comment in sql.  It is ignored by parseSql.
/*
 * CREATE TABLE "coffee_table"; This is a second type of comment in sql.  It is ignored by parseSql.
 */
{
CREATE TABLE "pool_table";  This is a third type of comment in sql.  It is ignored by parseSql.
}
/* CREATE TABLE "dining_room_table"; This is a second type of comment in sql.  It is ignored by parseSql. */
{ CREATE TABLE "card_table"; This is a third type of comment in sql.  It is ignored by parseSql. }

--DROP TABLE "picnic_table"; Uncomment this if picnic table was previously created and now is being replaced.
CREATE TABLE "picnic_table" ("plates" TEXT);
INSERT INTO "picnic_table" VALUES ('paper');

这是添加到/res/values/strings.xml 文件中的数据库版本号的条目。

<item type="string" name="databaseVersion" format="integer">1</item>

这是一个访问数据库然后使用它的 Activity 。 ( 注意:如果数据库代码占用大量资源，您可能希望在单独的线程中运行数据库代码。)

package android.example;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.os.Bundle;

/**
 * @author Danny Remington - MacroSolve
 * 
 *         Activity for demonstrating how to use a sqlite database.
 */
public class Database extends Activity {
     /** Called when the activity is first created. */
     @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        DatabaseHelper myDbHelper;
        SQLiteDatabase myDb = null;

        myDbHelper = new DatabaseHelper(this);
        /*
         * Database must be initialized before it can be used. This will ensure
         * that the database exists and is the current version.
         */
         myDbHelper.initializeDataBase();

         try {
            // A reference to the database can be obtained after initialization.
            myDb = myDbHelper.getWritableDatabase();
            /*
             * Place code to use database here.
             */
         } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
         } finally {
            try {
                myDbHelper.close();
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            } finally {
                myDb.close();
            }
        }

    }
}

这是数据库帮助器类，如果需要，可以在其中创建或更新数据库。 (注意:Android 要求您创建一个扩展 SQLiteOpenHelper 的类才能使用 Sqlite 数据库。)
