I need to find the data stored in sqlite databased on Android Studio. When I use tools-> android -> android device monitor to open file explore, I got an error "android device monitor is already launched". I do not know how to figure it out. Is there other method to obtain the data file in sqlite database? Thanks.
If you are on windows operating system, Android Studio open in Administrative Mode (Run as administrator)

I am working on a SQLite application. I am using Genymotion emulator with Android Studio 4.2.2. on OS Ubuntu 20.04
In my Android Studio I need to do
View -> Tool Window -> Device File Explorer
Then under
data -> data -> myprojectfolder -> databases
I can find my database file.
Now I want to pull this file to my Local PC for testing purpose. But I can't find a way to do it.
Right-click over the file in Device File Explorer and choose "Save As" from the context menu:
As i am having AMD processor in my laptop i am using GENYMOTION as an emulator. I have stored the data in sqlite as it is a plugin in android studio. But if i want to see the data using DDMS the file explorer showing nothing. How can i see the data stored in sqlite database using androidstudio and using GENYMOTION. Thanks in advance
Go to Tools -> DDMS or click the Device Monitor icon next to SDK Manager in Tool bar.
Device Monitor window will open. In File Explorer tab, click data -> data -> your project name. After that your databases file will open. Click pull a file from device icon. Save the file using .db extension.
Open FireFox, Press Alt , Tools -> SQLiteManager.
Follow Database -> connect to Database -> browse your database file and click ok. Your SQLite file will opened now.
One of the things that hasn't changed on Android Studio is the Android Device Monitor. so this applies to AS and Eclipse.
1) Download the jar SQLite browser plugin from https://github.com/TKlerx/android-sqlite-browser-for-eclipse/releases
2) Put the jar in: [YourAndroidSdkDirectory]/tools/lib/monitor-x86_64/plugins/AndroidSQLiteBrowser_1.0.1.jar
3) Restart the Android Device Monitor.
4) Select the .db file inside the device(rooted) or the emulator and click on the SQLite browser on the top right corner next to the (+) new folder button.
5) Enjoy!
pull database using adb commands
adb pull /data/data/com.android.packagename/databases/datebase.db
the db will be pulled to current location where terminal is pointing to
then open db using sqliteman
Update Android studio to the latest version 3.0 and we have access to Device File Explorer in :
View -> Tools Window -> Device File Explorer
Official Documenation
To View sqlite database:
install Mozilla sqlite plugin adons or any other sqlite manager plugin to view the sqlite database.
You can use IDEscout. It helps inspect any applications database realtime. You can also edit the database as your need.
All you need is download the IDEscout plugin for android studio. Then for connecting to your project:
Add the dependency to your project level gradle.buid
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url 'http://www.idescout.com/maven/repo/'
}
}
}
Add com.idescout.sql:sqlscout-server:2.0 as a dependency to your project's app module:
compile 'com.idescout.sql:sqlscout-server:2.0'
In the onCreate method of your main Activity invoke the method com.idescout.sql.SqlScoutServer#create as follows:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
SqlScoutServer.create(this, getPackageName());
Here are some using views for live data visualization and editing
Depending on the complexity of the data, you can also use an sqlite browser on the device itself. There are various free sqlite browsers for Android (SQLite Manager comes to mind) that will allow you to browse sqlite data on a rooted devices. Since the genymotion device images are rooted, it's easy to install one of these applications and view the data that way. Again, this works best if the data is simple -- it's a bit cumbersome for larger datasets.
I'm starting out with a small app using programmatically created sqlite db.
Is there a way to inspect that db when the app is running on emulator?
You can download the database file from the device to your PC and then use any SQLite browser / tool to inspect the database.
Either via the adb commandline tool from the Android SDK tools
adb pull /data/data/your.app.package.here/databases/yourdatabasefile.db
or via the device browser (File Explorer) in Eclipse in the DDMS perpective (maybe that exists in IntelliJ too, Idk)
or the new Android SDK tools provide a neat standalone version of that DDMS perspective & the file explorer via the new Device Monitor tool (android-sdk/tools/monitor.bat)
This is now possible with IntelliJ IDEA 14:
https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/accessing-android-sqlite-databases-from-intellij-idea.html
A partner found a more dynamic solution, using an ADB plug-in you can simply choose the database and refresh the inspector any time you want
first, you need to download the plug in jar
https://github.com/tklerx/android-sqlite-browser-for-eclipse
(go to releases and choose the latest)
then place the jar into [YourAndroidSdkDirectory]/tools/lib/monitor-x86_64/plugins/
Restart ADB
Done! now run an emulator, create your database and browse in the ADB to find it on data/data/ ...
Select it and click new the Database buton up right
(you may not see the button before selecting the database file)

I am trying to find the path for the android database files on Ubuntu 10.4, because I want to access with SQLite Browser. Someone can tell?
In Android, the database that you create for an application is only accessible to itself; other applications will not be able to access it.
Once created, the SQLite database is stored in the /data/data/<package_name>/databases folder of an Android device.
How to see the database file:
If you are using Eclipse:
switch to DDMS perspective - > File Browser -> Browse to data/data/your_package_name
folder. There you would see your database.
(To open DDMS Perspective, go to window -> open Perspective -> DDMS)
And also you can use the adb shell to cd to that directory and open the db with sqlite3.
You can also copy files or database from Android devices or from emulator by using adb pull , for more info refer this: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html#copyfiles
The path of your application database?
You will have to pull it from the emu/cel.
I would recommend using questoidsqlitemanager:
Questoid SQLite Manager is built on
top of Dalvik Debug Monitor Server
(DDMS). This tool is intended for
Android developers to manage SQLite db
file on Android device emulator.
I am executing some sqlite query in the Android emulator. I want to know which path that database files are storing. Pls give me some idea how to find it. If u can provide me some code snippet.
urs,
s.kumaran.
The databases are usually stored in
/data/data/your.applications.package/databases
and you can use the adb shell to cd to that directory and open the db with sqlite3.
Your Project Name\app\build\intermediates\assets\debug
Or:
Your Project Name\app\src\main\assets
In Android Studio
View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer
in Window "Device File Explorer" find
data/data/YOUR_PACKET_NAME/databases/YOU_PROJECT_TITLE
Save as where you want
open sqlite file via "BD Browser for SQLite" (if you use MAC OS)
