(solved) Qt 5.2: Problem deploying sqlite database to my android device

[nando76]

Hi,

i have problems deploying my sqlite database to an android device.
i tryed to did it "as described here.":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/platform-notes-android.html
The database is located in a subdirectory called database/MyDatabase.db in my project folder.

I added the following lines in .pro file:
@android {
folder_01.source = database
folder_01.target = .
DEPLOYMENTFOLDERS = folder_01
}@

This works and i can see the database folder including the file MyDatabase.db in the android-build/assets folder.

In code i try to open the database like this:
@... setDatabaseName("assets:/database/MyDatabase.db");@

But always getting the error:
out of memory Error opening database

It seems somehow the assets:/database/MyDatabase.db is not working....

Any ideas?

Greetings,
Nando

I can see you set database name but what about loading a driver and opening it.
@
QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE");
db.setDatabaseName("assets:/database/MyDatabase.db");
db.open();@

Hi, yes i do this like this:
The code works fine on Desktop:

@
const QString type("QSQLITE");

if(!QSqlDatabase::isDriverAvailable(type))
{
    qCritical() << type << " database module not available.";
    return false;
}

m_DB = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase(type);
m_databasePath = "assets:/database/MyDatabase.db";
m_DB.setDatabaseName(m_databasePath);
if(!m_DB.open())
{
    qCritical() << "couldn't connect to database Error[" <<
                   m_DB.lastError().text() << "]";
    return false;
}
qDebug() << "succsessfully connected to database " << m_databasePath;

I'm not sure but aren't assets files readonly, and I belive database need to be readwrite. I use the code below to copy file first and the open it:
@QFile dfile("assets:/db/database-last.db3");
if (dfile.exists())
{
dfile.copy("./database-last.db3");
QFile::setPermissions("./database-last.db3",QFile::WriteOwner | QFile::ReadOwner);
}@
@QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE");
db.setDatabaseName("./database-last.db3");
db.open();@

and in my .pro file
@deployment.files += database-last.db3
deployment.path = /assets/db
INSTALLS += deployment
