Include database data when exporting Android app

I export my app to an .apk file, sign it and install it. But when I run my application, it displays an error because there is no data in my database.

The database was created as new when I installed the app, so all data was lost!

How do I include database data when exporting an Android app?

Option # 1: Package the database as a raw resource or asset and use streams to copy that database to the desired location the first time you run the application.

Option # 2: SQL package statements to populate the database as a raw resource and execute those statements in your method SQLiteOpenHelper

onCreate()

.

Option # 3: Put emoticons directly in Java code to populate the database in your method SQLiteOpenHelper

onCreate()

.



Option # 4: Load the database on first launch and copy it to the desired location.

Etc.
