android - What is the android_metadata table?

Question

I try to integrate an existing database file into my Android project. I follow the instructions on this blog. They write that I have to add a table android_metadata with a column called locale and put en_US into it.

I try to figure out what this table is used for. Because my database content is german. Maybe i then should not put en_US into it? Is this required for localisation of the database content or is the table not needed at all?

Answer 1

the metadata table will be generated automatically. if you have content of german try updating the metadata table 'de_DE'.
