Android Question Creating the database when the application is first installed

[DeerBear]

Hello!

I would like to generate the database when the application is installed.
I am currently using this code:

Private Sub CreateDDItemTable
Dim Fields As Map

Fields.Initialize
Fields.Put( "ID", DBUtils.DB_INTEGER )
Fields.Put( "DD_NAME",DBUtils.DB_TEXT )
Fields.Put( "DD_DATE", DBUtils.DB_TEXT )
Fields.Put( "DD_VALUE",DBUtils.DB_REAL )
Fields.Put( "DD_STATUS",DBUtils.DB_INTEGER )
DBUtils.CreateTable( SQLEngine,"DD_ITEMS",Fields,"ID" )
End Sub

Public Sub InitializeSQL( FirstTime As Boolean )
If FirstTime Then
SQLEngine.Initialize( File.DirInternal,"DDLog.db",True )
If DBUtils.TableExists( SQLEngine,"DD_ITEMS" ) = False Then
CreateDDItemTable
End If
End If
End Sub

Inside DBUtils.bas

Sub TableExists ( SQL As SQL, TableName As String ) As Boolean
Dim Query As String
Dim QCursor As Cursor
Query = "SELECT DISTINCT TBL_NAME FROM SQLITE_MASTER WHERE TBL_NAME = '" & TableName & "'"
Log( "TableExists: " & Query )
QCursor = SQL.ExecQuery( Query )
Return ( QCursor.GetString( "TBL_NAME" ) <> "" )
End Sub

Unfortunately, my TableExists code doesn't work on all of my emulators. I suspect this is down to some changes in SQLite but I am not an expert on the topic (I really don't like SQLite).
Does anybody have a way to determine whether a table is present? For those cases where this doesn't work, the error is that the field TBL_NAME was not found.

I am unsure of what to do.

Suggestions?

Why not just use

USE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS......

Why not just use

USE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS......

He is using the CreateTable of DBUtils, which contains the option "IF NOT EXISTS"

If understood your meaning, then include a text file to be installed in dir internal, check its existence and if it is there then create the tables, then delete or alter it.
