As far as I know, the only way is to use

public void addJavascriptInterface (Object object, String name)

The javascript code in the webview will rely on the Android native code to do the SQLite commands

@user874353: have you found a solution to this aspect. I'm in similar situation. My javascript code works with a different db in path, i would like it to work with the one from /data/data/databases/.. If you know, post a response: stackoverflow.com/questions/13014163/…
