I have an Android application that uses the Android database to create tables and store data. I’m currently running this app in the emulator in Eclipse. I have 2 questions:
- Where can I find the actual database file (it must be on my computer somewhere right?) that is created when I run my app in the emulator?
- Is there an easy way to view what is in my database/tables?
If I could find where the actual database file is (if there is such a thing) on my computer, then perhaps question 2 would be answered as easily as opening that file. But I really have no clue. Any help is appreciated.
Hi
1. In the Eclipse look at the File Explorer tab (near the Console tab). Or look at menu “Window -> Show View -> Other… -> File Explorer”. Emulator should be run. In the File Explorer window go to the folder “data/data/[your_package_name]/databases/”. There you can find your database. You can export it to the your computer. At the right top corner of the window there is a button “pull a file from device”. Select database, click that button and save a database on the computer.
2. Program “sqlite browser” can shows a data in the database. You can download it here. It is easy to use.
