Getting my app to work on my phone

I wrote an app android sdk version 1.5 using it's built in emulator in eclipse. I created a database outside of eclipse populated it with开发者_如何转开发 data and push it to the emulator folder data/data/project name/database and could access it fine from the my app, everything was working great. My final step was to test the apk file on an actual phone. When I did that the program would not work. After looking into it I found that the database file was not being uploaded into the phone. Is there a special way to install the apk file on the actual phone to get the embedded database to work? Or can I assume that since everything worked fine on the sdk 1.5 emulator that everything will work when I upload it to the market. Thanks in advance.

I believe this question covers what you're looking for:

• Use sqlite database from Android app resources

Basically, you should be creating your database in code or, if you must, including it in the APK's resources or retrieving it from an outside source.
