I am following the example in the Learning Android book for creating a database, and it looks like I am successfully creating the database (in my SQLiteOpenHelper, it is not re-running onCreate). But when I try to use the Eclipse file explorer to view the database file in data/data/, no files appear.

I also tried to open the sqlite file through the adb shell, but when I attempt to list the files in the directory data/data/, it tells me “opendir failed, Permission denied”

My question is do I need to root my phone in order to view the database files?

Thanks for your help!

    Yes. Unless you root your phone, you can’t see the data/data folder for any app.
