sqliteLog 14: cannot open file at line


I don't know where are my mistakes. I am trying to store the lyrics.db file in my DB_PATH when the database doesn't exist and my checkDatabase method returns false, or my DB is obsolete.

However, I get the following :-

E/SQLiteLog: (14) cannot open file at line 36356 of [605907e73a]

it's my code for load the DB

public class DbHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

    private static String DB_PATH = "";
    private static String DB_NAME = "lyrics.db";
    private SQLiteDatabase vDatabase;
    private Context vContext = null;

    public DbHelper(Context context) {
        super(context, DB_NAME, null, 1);
        if( Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 17)
            DB_PATH = context.getFilesDir().getPath()+context.getPackageName()+"/databases/";
        else
            DB_PATH = context.getApplicationInfo().dataDir+"/databases/";

        this.vContext = context;
    }

    @Override
    public synchronized void close() {
        if( vDatabase != null ) {
            vDatabase.close();
        }
        super.close();
    }

    private boolean checkDatabase() {
        SQLiteDatabase dbTemp = null;
        try{
            String path = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;
            dbTemp = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(path, null, OPEN_READWRITE);
        } catch ( SQLiteException e) { }
        if (dbTemp != null ) {
            dbTemp.close();
        }
        return dbTemp != null;
    }

    public void copyDB() throws SQLiteException{

            InputStream myInput = vContext.getAssets().open(DB_NAME);
            String outputFileName = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;
            Log.d("LIFECYCLE", outputFileName);
            OutputStream myOutput = new FileOutputStream(outputFileName);

            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int length;
            while( (length=myInput.read(buffer)) > 0 ){
                myOutput.write(buffer, 0, length);
            }

            myOutput.flush();
            myOutput.close();
            myInput.close();
        } catch ( IOException e) {

        }
    }

    public void openDB() {
        String path = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;
        vDatabase = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(path, null, OPEN_READWRITE);
    }

    public void createDB() {
        boolean dbExist = checkDatabase();
        if ( dbExist ){

        }
        else {
            this.getReadableDatabase();
            copyDB();
        }
    }

    public List<Lyric> getAllSong(){
        List<Lyric> temp = new ArrayList<>();
        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
        Cursor cursor;
        try{

                        cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("index")),

                        cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("year")),
                        cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("artist")),
                        cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("genre")),
                        cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("lyrics"))

    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {

    }
}

I've already trying to debug this code for almost 15 hours, and even don't get a single clue, where are my mistakes.

how to check, if that path exist? and how to make directory / path if it didn't exist?


Solution

  • Step by Step guide.

    1. Create the database using an appropriate SQLite management tool with the table lyrics populated with the required data. Ensuring the database is saved.

    • In this case NaviCat was used and the following SQL was used to create and populate the lyrics table.

    :-

    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS lyrics (
        id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
        song TEXT, 
        year TEXT,
        artist TEXT,
        genre TEXT,
        lyrics TEXT
    );
    INSERT INTO lyrics (song, year, artist, genre, lyrics) VALUES
        ('song1','1970','Fred','Rock','Rock rock rock'),
        ('song2','1980','Mary','Pop','Pop pop pop'),
        ('song3','1960','Sue','Folk','Folk folk folk');
    
    • Note index is a keyword so is not a valid column name unless it is enclosed, so id has been used instead of index.

    2. The file was saved as lyrics.db and copied into the assets folder of the project.

    enter image description here

    3. DbHelper.java (various modifications)

    public class DbHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
        
        private static String DB_NAME = "lyrics.db";
        private SQLiteDatabase vDatabase;
        private Context vContext;
    
        public DbHelper(Context context) {
            super(context, DB_NAME, null, 1);
            this.vContext = context;
            // Copy the DB if need be when instantiating the DbHelper
            if (!checkDataBase()) {
                copyDB();
            }
            vDatabase = this.getWritableDatabase(); //Get the database when instantiating
        }
    
        /**
         * No need for build version check as getDataBasePath works for all versions
         * No need for open and close of Database, just open it once for the lifetime (more efficient)
         */
    
        /**
         * Check if the database already exist to avoid re-copying the file each time you open the application.
         * @return true if it exists, false if it doesn't
         */
        private boolean checkDataBase() {
            /**
             * Does not open the database instead checks to see if the file exists
             * also creates the databases directory if it does not exists
             * (the real reason why the database is opened, which appears to result in issues)
             */
            File db = new File(vContext.getDatabasePath(DB_NAME).getPath()); //Get the file name of the database
            Log.d("DBPATH","DB Path is " + db.getPath());
            if (db.exists()) return true; // If it exists then return doing nothing
    
            // Get the parent (directory in which the database file would be)
            File dbdir = db.getParentFile();
            // If the directory does not exist then make the directory (and higher level directories)
            if (!dbdir.exists()) {
                db.getParentFile().mkdirs();
                dbdir.mkdirs();
            }
            return false;
        }
    
        public void copyDB() throws SQLiteException{
            try {
                InputStream myInput = vContext.getAssets().open(DB_NAME);
                String outputFileName = vContext.getDatabasePath(DB_NAME).getPath(); //<<<<<<<<<< changed
                Log.d("LIFECYCLE", outputFileName);
                OutputStream myOutput = new FileOutputStream(outputFileName);
    
                byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
                int length;
                while( (length=myInput.read(buffer)) > 0 ){

                myOutput.flush();
                myOutput.close();

            } catch ( IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();

        }
    
        public List<Lyric> getAllSong(){
            List<Lyric> temp = new ArrayList<>();
            Cursor cursor = vDatabase.query("lyrics",null,null,null,null,null,null);
            //Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery( "SELECT * FROM lyrics" , null); // used query method generally preferred to rawQuery
            //if( cursor == null) return null; // Cursor will not be null may be empty
            //cursor.moveToFirst(); // changed to use simpler loop
            while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
                Lyric lyric = new Lyric(
                        //cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("index")), //<<<<<<< changed due to column name change
                        cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("id")),

    4. Uninstall the existing App or delete the App's data (IMPORTANT)

    5. Test it.

    The following is an activity that will test the above.

    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    
        DbHelper vDBHlpr;
    
        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
            vDBHlpr = new DbHelper(this);
            List<Lyric> mylyricslist =  vDBHlpr.getAllSong();
            for (Lyric l: mylyricslist) {
                Log.d("LYRICFROMDB","Song is " + l.getSong() + " Year is " + l.getYear() + " Artist is " + l.getArtist() + " Genre is " + l.getGenre() + " Lyrics are " + l.getLyrics());
            }
        }
    }
    

    The log should include (first run) :-

    03-17 19:42:11.067 16057-16057/? D/DBPATH: DB Path is /data/data/com.example.so55199382lyrics/databases/lyrics.db

    or for subsequent runs :-

    03-17 19:49:11.275 16136-16136/? D/DBPATH: DB Path is /data/data/com.example.so55199382lyrics/databases/lyrics.db

    • Note run twice so you check both the copy process and handling of the existing db.

    The above was tested on emulators running Android Lollipop and Pie
