Android P - 'SQLite: No Such Table Error' after copying database from assets

Question

I have a database saved in my apps assets folder and I copy the database using the below code when the app first opens.

inputStream = mContext.getAssets().open(Utils.getDatabaseName());

        if(inputStream != null) {

            int mFileLength = inputStream.available();

            String filePath = mContext.getDatabasePath(Utils.getDatabaseName()).getAbsolutePath();

            // Save the downloaded file
            output = new FileOutputStream(filePath);

            byte data[] = new byte[1024];
            long total = 0;
            int count;
            while ((count = inputStream.read(data)) != -1) {
                total += count;
                if(mFileLength != -1) {
                    // Publish the progress
                    publishProgress((int) (total * 100 / mFileLength));
                }
                output.write(data, 0, count);
            }
            return true;
        }

The above code runs without problem but when you try to query the database you get an SQLite: No such table exception.

This issue only occurs in Android P, all earlier versions of Android work correctly.

Is this a known issue with Android P or has something changed?

Answer 1

Was having a similar issue, and solved this adding this to my SQLiteOpenHelper

    @Override
    public void onOpen(SQLiteDatabase db) {
        super.onOpen(db);
        db.disableWriteAheadLogging();
    }

Apparently Android P sets the PRAGMA Log thing different. Still no idea if will have side effects, but seems to be working!
