Room.createFromAsset() rewrite app's database every time the app is opened

I am trying to initialize my app's database from an asset database when it first installed. However, it works fine until the app is closed. When I open the app again it calls createFromAsset(). As far as I know, the problem is in the fact that I'm getting an instance of the app DB and rewriting it with the asset DB. I need createFromAsset() to be called only when the app installed for the first time.

@Database(entities = {ActivitySession.class}, exportSchema = true, version = 1)
public abstract class ActivityPackageDatabase extends RoomDatabase {

private static ActivityPackageDatabase INSTANCE;


public static ActivityPackageDatabase getDatabase(final Context context) {
        if (INSTANCE == null) {
            synchronized (ActivityPackageDatabase.class) {
                if (INSTANCE == null) {
                    INSTANCE = Room.databaseBuilder(context.getApplicationContext(),
                            ActivityPackageDatabase.class, "appDB")
                            .createFromAsset("database/assetDB.db")
                            .fallbackToDestructiveMigration()
                            .build();
                }
            }
        }
        return INSTANCE;
    }

Just in case there are examples of entities and DAO

@Entity
public class SessionPhoto {
    @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
    public long id;

    public long sessionId;
    public String path;

    public SessionPhoto() {
    }

    public long getSessionId() {
        return sessionId;
    }

    public void setSessionId(long sessionId) {
        this.sessionId = sessionId;
    }

    public String getPath() {
        return path;
    }

    public void setPath(String path) {
        this.path = path;
    }
}

@Dao
public abstract class ActivitySessionDao {
    @Update(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE, entity = ActivitySession.class)
    public abstract void updateSession(ActivitySession activitySession);

    @Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)
    public abstract void addNewJournalEntry(ActivityJournal journalEntry);

    @Insert
    public abstract long insertSession(ActivitySession activitySession);

    @Query("SELECT * FROM activitySession")
    public abstract LiveData<List<ActivitySession>> getAllSessionsRecords();

    @Transaction
    @Query("SELECT * FROM activityPackage WHERE id = :id")
    public abstract LiveData<List<ActivityWithSessions>> getActivityWithSessionById(long id);

    public  void cancelSession(ActivitySession session){
        session.completedDateTime = new Date();
        session.status = ActivityPackageStatus.CANCELED;
        updateSession(session);
    }
    @Query("SELECT * FROM activitysession WHERE activityId = :acitivityId AND id = :id")
    public abstract ActivitySession findSessionByActivityId(long acitivityId, long id);
}

Remove fallbackToDestructiveMigration(). no need to call that.

INSTANCE = Room.databaseBuilder(context.getApplicationContext(),
                            ActivityPackageDatabase.class, "appDB")
                            .createFromAsset("database/assetDB.db")
                            .build();
