How to open an existing SQLite database with Uri object?
1
I'm using Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT to select a file.
In the method onActivityResult I get the Uri:
Uri selectedfile = data.getData();
How can I use the Uri object selectedfile to open a SQLite database? This does not work:
SQLiteDatabase database = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(selectedfile.getPath(), null, SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY);

Hi, does your app have storage permissions? What errors are you receiving? "Does not work" is a bit vague.

I've managed to load the data into anInputStreamby using aContentResolver. Is it a good idea to copy the data to a temporary file and then open this file with the methodopenDatabase? If yes, can I later use the originalUrito update the original database after use ofUPDATEorDELETEstatements?
