[FIXED] In android room, is the database's name app scoped?

Issue

(I'm new to android development)

Say android app-1 created a database hello, via roo.
Then could android app-2 created a database hello, on the same phone?

My guess is yes, since room use sqlite, each app may start a new sqlite instance, and may store its data in private space, otherwise it's too easy to get conflict. But I'm not sure.

The questions are:

• Will 2 app share the same sqlite instance, or each app will start a new sqlite?
• Is the database's name app scoped?
• I guess the data of a database is also private to the application?

(I've searched about this, didn't get a confirm.)

Solution

By default, Room databases are stored in internal storage, and each app has its own internal storage. You can have two databases named hello, one per app, without a problem.
