I have sqlite database in my system i need to add this data base to the device(in the application location).How to do this ????
You basically add code in your application that creates the database the first time it's used (Android will take care of the internals):
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#db
If your database is not very big - just place your DB file into assets and then during first run your application should just copy SQLite DB file from assets directory to your application data storage. See here

I am creating Dictionary Android Application.This app create database of 235883 words that takes to much time to be inserted on database on first time app run.Is there any other solution to make it faster or install direct database file in root folders??
Yes u can create sqlite database file for your words and put it into assets folder and than you can access it at the time you launch your app.
I'm new to programing for android and i'm still learning. So I have a question about the location of the SQLite database. Is it stored in the same file system as the application ?
And also i'm not sure can the database be created before the app is installed(can it come with the app) or can the database only be created from inside the app ?
And what if i wanted my app to come with a database that already has tables and records which is local and not on a server. Would that be possible ?
SQLite is available on every Android device. Using an SQLite database in Android does not require any database setup or administration.
You only have to define the SQL statements for creating and updating the database. Afterwards the database is automatically managed for you by the Android platform.
Access to an SQLite database involves accessing the filesystem. This can be slow. Therefore it is recommended to perform database operations asynchronously, for example inside the AsyncTask class.
If your application creates a database, this database is by default saved in the directory DATA/data/APP_NAME/databases/FILENAME.
The parts of the above directory are constructed based on the following rules. DATA is the path which the Environment.getDataDirectory() method returns. APP_NAME is your application name. FILENAME is the name you specify in your application code for the database.

Database is created after the app installation or after the db changes. The db is stored in /data/data/your_package/databases/
I used PhoneGap to create a Sqlite db and access it to read data. So I want to find out where the Sqlite file is located in my android device. Please show me
If you use phonegap then your database will be at location
/data/data/package-name/app_database/file__0/0000000000000001.db
And all your tables will be stored there....
If your package is com.exampl.hello then
/data/data/com.example.hello/databases/databasefile
where databasefile is the name of your database.
I want to only read data from the SQLite database. When I am creating database and reading it it is working but I have already a database created and I want to read data from this database.
I am pushing the database to the sdcard and trying to run the application but it is not reading form the database. I want to know that if install this .apk file in device then my database will also shift to the device or not.
Common practice is to store initial data on assets/raw folders of application resources. Then during 1st run just create DB using SQL scripts like:
create table if not exist
Fill DB with initial data - and here you're.
I have the data in the android(Sqlite Database).How to transfer this database data's to the System Database( like Access or SQL Server).After Transfer this data's i have to use the data in the System.I am new to android. Can anyone help me.
Note:
If the android device have the Database db1.I wish to use the db1 data in the Desktop Application .
You can copy the database file to the desktop, and then open it there with SQLite. You could then export the data to CSV file, and import this one in the database of your choice.
The db file is present in "/data/app/" Your Application Package directory "/databases/" Your DB File.
Copy the file from this location and use the steps provided by Thomas Mueller.
