If I created a database using another application not through android runtime, let's say using 'SQLite Manager'(firefox extention), how can I then use that database (the .Sqlite file that is generated) in my android application?
Since the SQLite is native in the android not an outsider database.
you can do it by preparing database file(.sqlite) from Sqlite Manager(firefox extention) and then use it in android see example

I'm debugging an issue with an Android application that seems to stem from missing data in its SQLite database. When I open the database using Android Debug Database, the data is shown. However, when I save the SQLite file to my computer using Android Studio's Device File Explorer and then open it up with a SQLite client, the data is missing.
Using Room to manage the SQLite db, and used both TablePlus and DB Browser for SQLite to view the db on my computer.
Room uses write-ahead logging (WAL). Much of the time, this means that the SQLite database consists of three files:
Whatever you named the base file
One with .wal
One with .shm
You need to copy all three if you wish to use the database elsewhere (e.g., desktop SQLite browser, backup/restore).
I have doubt with respect to the database in the Phonegap domain.can we use a .sqlite (database) that's ready to use for a Phonegap domain.
I have tried it using the SQLITE plugin,but that creates a new SQLITE database with 1 table.
Prior to this i included a .sqlite file (database) in the assets/www folder.that is not being recognized.
Is it that i have to create a new database for which i already have one?
I am creating a new app using phonegap (html and javascript) and am using an SQLite database. Due to phonegap limitations and my need for a dynamic database I am following these steps:
1 - creating an external database
2 - exporting this with the .apk file
3 - on app load I replace the phonegap database with my database
The issue I am having here is working out whether 'LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT' or TEMPORARY. It looks like it is persistent. However, I am not sure how I can root my device allowing me to access and replace the database within the relevnt 'LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT' section.
Thanks
By default your SQlite database is created at:
/data/data/Your Package/databases/your database
For using already created database see this.
I am having Registration screen as my first screen but before that i want to create database. is it possible to create database at time of installation in android rather than creating in first activity.
This is a great article that helps http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/
Create the sqlite db using SQLite Database Browser and store it in your assests folder
When app launches, copy the db from assets to your apps data directory
Open the DB
This way you don't have to parse csv files or dynamically create the db on the device, saving time during first load.
If you want to use a previously created database in your application,at the time of installation the you need to create a database put it in assets folder and then copy it in application.
refer this links:

adding your own SQLite database to an android application
I've already created an android application that has got an already existing sqlite 3 database within it's asset's folder. I designed the application to copy the database on to the mobile when the app is launched for the first time. My question is how can I ship the database and the app so that users can easily install the app?
thanks
The method I'm going to show you takes
your own SQLite database file from the
"assets" folder and copies into the
system database path of your
application so the SQLiteDatabase API
can open and access it normally.
