Android Question Attempt to write to read only database

[peggjones]

I have several apps that work quite happily on my Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. I have just bought a Nexus 9 - the apps will not write to or update my database on it. I get "attempt to write to read only database".
The database is in "/storage/emulated/0/". I can update the database with no problem using SqlLiteManager. Anyone got any ideas

Unsure but could this, added to the Manifest file, help ?

AddPermission(android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)

Can you post the line that initializes the database?

Can you post the line that initializes the database?

SQLDIR = "/storage/emulated/0/bossfolder"
SQL.Initialize(SQLDIR, "Vocab.db",True)

AddPermission(android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)

Thanks but that is already there.

Why aren't you using File.DirRootExternal? Is this a sd card?

No it's not an Sd card

Why aren't you using File.DirRootExternal? Is this a sd card?

Basically I'm doing it that way because I found it worked! I'm far from an expert! It's not an Sd card. Nexus devices don't take cards.

I have updated to Android 5.1.1 and the problem is resolved. Thanks to all for your help.
