'How can I install the SQLite executable on an Android device?

I have an root application that reads the SQLite database of WhatsApp. I'm using the sqlite binary to execute the SQL query and I read the results into my app.

Now, this all works fine but I've noticed that the SQLite executable seems to be missing on some devices especially the Galaxy S3 GT-I9300. (I can see this through my crash statistics.)

My application also installs the sqlite3 executable onto the users phone. The SQLite executable needs to be at /system/xbin/sqlite3 or /system/bin/sqlite3. I've bundled the sqlite3 binary with my application in the assets and my application unpacks the assets and copies it over to the correct location. I extracted the sqlite3 binary from the Android emulator.

Now, I've been seeing errors that read that library file libncurses.so is missing. On my phone that file is at /system/bin/libncurses.so.

Now, should I also bundle the libncurses.so file with my application? Is there anything else I would need to bundle?

If there's a better way of getting sqlite3 on the device, I'll be glad to hear it.

if you want to escape dependencies just build it yourself with all needed libraries statically linked.

Some searching on SO will result in a plethora of answers:

Here is one: Why do I get a "sqlite3: not found" error on a rooted Nexus One when I try to open a database using the adb shell?
