Database persistence fail

I use an sqlite database that is copied like the following example:


Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
dbname = "invent.s3db"
If FirstTime Then
dbdir = DBUtils.CopyDBFromAssets(dbname)
End If
database.Initialize(dbdir, dbname, False)
End Sub

After this some data are inserted in the database tables and it works fine until the emulation is stopped.

If I compile and run all the data are lost and tracing into the CopyDBFromAssets function seems like the database file previously copied in the emulator memory was lost.

If I run a previous build then alla the data are still in the emulator memory.

Seems that the compile operation causes lost of emulator memory.
Someone can hel me?

This is probably related to a bug in the emulator that prevents it from keeping File.DirDefaultExternal folder. You can modify DBUtils.CopyDBFromAssets and change the folder to File.DirRootExternal.
