Question

I am using the Android SQLiteDatabase in my application. Part of the application involves downloading a significant amount of data from a server and storing it on the phone’s local db. Is there a way to find out how much space the database will actually take on the phone? I can’t find any database-related files in the project folder.

Answer 1

The local SQLite database stores in Environment.getDataDirectory() + /data/<Package Name>/databases. Also you can call SQLiteDatabase$getPath() method.

SQLiteDatabase db;
// ...
long size = new File(db.getPath()).length();
