Folks, apologies ... I have a very urgent request. Tomorrow I want to present an Android application on the phone (not on the emulator) to a group of students. I have a Samsung Galaxy running on Android 1.5.

I got it all hooked up and I can see the device using "adb devices". I can also see it in DDMS. So the connection is fine. I even can install the application on the device - but I cannot run it.

The main problem seems to be that my application cannot access the corresponding local SQLite database. Everything works perfectly on the emulator. I figured out that I also cannot access the data/data folder on the devices. It says "permission denied". Then I found out that I have to "root" the device. But absolutely no clue how I can do that. Also installing the apk through "adb install ...." did not work.

What can I do in order to get my SQLite db on the device? Do I have to root it?

Again, as this is really urgent (until tonight Wed July 29th) please!

Regards Christian

I've been thinking about this issue as well.

The stuff I've been able to dig up is:
a) SQL Dump your data into a TXT file and put the file in your assets directory to then import the data onCreate....

b) Put your SQLite data file in your assets directory and copy it into /myapp/databases/ onCreate.

That's what I've found so far.
