Good day.
I am trying to save a database file from res:// folder to user:// folder using the code below:
if !o.file_exists("user://test-new.db"):
print("does not exists")
# Delete old test version
if o.file_exists("user://test-old.db"):
print("deleting old")
dir.remove("user://test-old.db")
else:
print("no old file")
# Copy the file from RES/dbase to USER
print("copying files")
dir.copy("res://assets/dbase/test-new.db","user://test-new.db")
print("done")
It works fine when I run it on PC but I am getting the following error in logcat when running in android

I am under the impression that either I cannot write to the destination file, or my source file is not accessible. I was able to write a file on user:// by using file.open so I know I have access to user directory.
I hope someone could shed a light on how to better do this procedure.
BTW, If anyone is curious why I am copying a database to a user folder, I am basically using gdsqlite to access the content of the database to my application. Gdsqlite does require the database to be in user:// folder. It does works fine on PC but not on android devices on which I intend to use it. It is a 5-10mb database and I want it to be stored locally instead of the apps accessing the internet.
Cheers

I added *.db in "Export\Resource\Filter to Export non resource file and it worked!
