Android:自定义Sqlite数据库路径

默认的sqlite数据库是放在/data/data/database目录下的，今天看腾讯云IM的demo发现再该路径下找不到它存放消息的数据库，找了下后发现居然是放在/data/data/files目录下的，虽然不知道为什么要放到这个目录，不过仔细想了下突然发觉假如把数据库放到非data目录下的话，就可以不借助contentprovider之类的方式实现跨应用访问数据库了，虽然安全性会降低，但在部分场景下还是会有所作用的。

阅读下了SqliteOpenHelper的源码，和数据库路径相关部分如下。

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61

public SQLiteDatabase getWritableDatabase() {         synchronized (this) {             return getDatabaseLocked(true);         }     }             public SQLiteDatabase getReadableDatabase() {         synchronized (this) {             return getDatabaseLocked(false);         }     }   private SQLiteDatabase getDatabaseLocked(boolean writable) {         if (mDatabase != null) {             if (!mDatabase.isOpen()) {                 // Darn!  The user closed the database by calling mDatabase.close().                 mDatabase = null;             } else if (!writable || !mDatabase.isReadOnly()) {                 // The database is already open for business.                 return mDatabase;             }         }           if (mIsInitializing) {             throw new IllegalStateException("getDatabase called recursively");         }           SQLiteDatabase db = mDatabase;         try {             mIsInitializing = true;               if (db != null) {                 if (writable && db.isReadOnly()) {                     db.reopenReadWrite();                 }             } else if (mName == null) {                 db = SQLiteDatabase.create(null);             } else {                 try {                     if (DEBUG_STRICT_READONLY && !writable) {                        String path = mContext.getDatabasePath(mName).getPath()                         db = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(path, mFactory,                                 SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY, mErrorHandler);                     } else {                         db = mContext.openOrCreateDatabase(mName, mEnableWriteAheadLogging ?                                 Context.MODE_ENABLE_WRITE_AHEAD_LOGGING : 0,                                 mFactory, mErrorHandler);                     }                 } catch (SQLiteException ex) {                     if (writable) {                         throw ex;                     }                     Log.e(TAG, "Couldn't open " + mName                             + " for writing (will try read-only):", ex);                     final String path = mContext.getDatabasePath(mName).getPath();                     db = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(path, mFactory,                             SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY, mErrorHandler);                 }             }             ........

　　其实是调用了mContext的getDataBasePath方法，这个方法是在ContextImpl中实现的，再看下源码

@Override
    public File getDatabasePath(String name) {
        return validateFilePath(name, false);
    }

private File validateFilePath(String name, boolean createDirectory) {
        File dir;
        File f;

        if (name.charAt(0) == File.separatorChar) {
            String dirPath = name.substring(0, name.lastIndexOf(File.separatorChar));
            dir = new File(dirPath);
            name = name.substring(name.lastIndexOf(File.separatorChar));
            f = new File(dir, name);
        } else {
            dir = getDatabasesDir();
            f = makeFilename(dir, name);
        }

        if (createDirectory && !dir.isDirectory() && dir.mkdir()) {
            FileUtils.setPermissions(dir.getPath(),
                FileUtils.S_IRWXU|FileUtils.S_IRWXG|FileUtils.S_IXOTH,
                -1, -1);
        }

        return f;
    }

好吧，原来这么简单，原来Android本身已经实现了自定义路径的方法了，只要传入的path的第一个字符为"/"就行了。

总结下就一句话，只要传入自定义路径的完整路径就好了。。。。
