Why do I get "Error: Could not open database"?


I'm using the Android emulator so I put users.db in 'android/app/src/main/assets/users.db'. I already ran npx react-native link to make the link. I'm using a React Native version above 6.0 with auto-link.

I'm getting "Error: Could not open database":

import React, {Component} from 'react'
import {View, Text, Alert} from 'react-native'
import SQLite from 'react-native-sqlite-storage'

export default class App extends Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    SQLite.openDatabase({name:'users', createFromLocation:1}, this.connected, this.failed)
  }

  connected= () =>{
    Alert.alert('Connected with success !')
  }

  failed= (e) =>{
    Alert.alert('Something went wrong !', `${e}`)
  }

  render(){
    return(
      <View>
        <Text>Testing SQLite</Text>
      </View>
    )
  }
}

Solution

  • When changing the attribute createFromLocation to number 2 the system creates its own database which comes empty, so you need to create the tables. Unfortunately I didn't manage to use my old database.
