How to import sqlite file into my project?

I am making an sqlight using eclipse outside the android project

what should I add into my android manifest in order to make it work?

thank you Mathias, lets take this q to another project who generate a SQL file using java assuming this. How can I set the SQLiteDatabase.NO_LOCALIZED_COLLATORS flag when calling SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase()?

my code over there is

Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");            
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:test.db");
/*
*some code 
*/
   Statement stat = conn.createStatement();
    stat.executeUpdate("drop table if exists "+TABLE_NAME+";");
    //stat.executeUpdate("create table "+TABLE_NAME+" (name, occupation);");
    stat.ex开发者_开发技巧ecuteUpdate("create table "+TABLE_NAME+" ("+VALUE+","+TYPE+","+LETTER+");");
    PreparedStatement prep = conn.prepareStatement(
      "insert into "+TABLE_NAME+" values (?, ?,?);");

Even when I use:

  db = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(myPath, null,  SQLiteDatabase.NO_LOCALIZED_COLLATORS);

when I use the query :

     String s = "Israel";
Cursor cursor = db.query(TABLE_NAME, new String[] {VALUE}
        ,VALUE + " like " + "'%" + s +"%'", null, null, null, null);

I get an exception .

You don't need to add anything special into the android manifest. You can open the database from anywhere, i.e. also from your sdcard or else. Otherwise, A common place to put the database is in to the assets folder of your application.

When you create the db outside the android project, just make sure you either create the metadata table (as mentioned in the Android docs) or set the SQLiteDatabase.NO_LOCALIZED_COLLATORS flag when calling SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(). Also you should note that the primary key in all tables is _id. These are the most important things to consider when creating a new DB.

Also helpful regarding the metadata-table might be:

What is the android_metadata table?

No such table android_metadata, what's the problem?
