title: .How to copy files from project assets folder to device data folder in android studio?
body: <p>I am trying to use <code>SQLiteAssetHelper</code> and it requires me to create database on PC and copy it to <code>assets/databases/databasename.db</code>.  I do that, but when I check on the device, nor the database, nor the databases folder is there under my app's data folder.</p>
  
  <p>I did this based on a video, and the guy there doesn't do anything else to make the copy work.</p>
  
  <p>So, are the files supposed to be automatically copied over to device?
  If not, how can I copy the files?</p>
