Can use DB Browser program with my application database?

I'm facing some problems dealing with the database and I want to keep track of the elements in the database if it is possible

i didn't understand, i haven't install it yet in my phone on debug
mode
If the phone isn't rooted and you've stored the database in the default location (most likely), then it will be in a protected area and cannot be directly accessed. If the phone has been rooted then you'd have access.
However, typically you'd use an emulator to develop an App rather than a real device (e.g. Android Studio's build in emulator or perhaps GenyMotion) and access to the databse is then generally possible via clicking on Device Explorer from within Android Studio e.g. :-
After clicking click on the data folder and then click on the data folder within the dta folder and then find the folder that equates to the package (as per your App) and then click on that. There would be a databases folder and the database file will be the file that is named exactly the same as the database e.g.
the package for the database in the example screenshot (not the same as the former App to reduce the screen size) is aaa.so553322709simpleloggingexample and the datbase name is mydb (as this is on Android Pie and that the database is using the default WAL mode then the -shm and -wal files also exist).
You can right click on the database file and then on Save-As to save the file on the PC. You can then open the file with your SQL Management Tool (e.g DB Browser).

You can access to db file of your application in Device File Explorer.
data-->data-->your app package name-->databases
then save as it and see it in DB browser.
Also you can pull db file with adb

Android save custom data in APK

I have developed (Offline) Android app in which i have to save some employee's data into Local SQLITE database, when i send the apk into another andoird phone the data in the database dose not appear due to local storage of both the devices is different.
My goal is to send the data with the apk file to who ever i send the apk. How can i achieve the goal ?
The problem is i do not have the idea of how to do it, or never have done this kind of project before.
Please guide me.

If Your database is read only - You can use raw folder of project for Your SQLite database file, than, after .apk was installed, copy it, for example to external storage. But if You need changes in database and synchronized data on all devices - You should use only one server-side database.

android \data\data folder empty

i have created a db in the phone and have inserted some values in it as well. now there is a large excel sheet which contains several more records that need to be inserted.
i am trying to find the db file in the phone so as to use sql lite db tool to upload some data in it. but the folder is empty.
can any one suggest or guide.
thanks

If you are on a real phone the /data folder will appear empty unless you have root access. An application like root explorer can allow you access to these folders (with the proper permissions). This probably isn't what you want to/should do.
If you are on an emulator you can use the file explorer in eclipse to browse your phones data/data/package folders and copy your database to and from the emulator quickly (or use adb shell commands).
Are you just doing this to test something? You should have your application insert the data you want, or create your own SQLite database and package it with your application. If you externally modify your database like this, reinstalling the application - or installing it on a different device - would result in an application still using your old/unmodified database.

sqlite browser: where is the db file?

I would like examine androids internal database files using a sqlite browser. From my understanding contacts, etc. is stored in an sql lite db on Android. Now I want to read these tables using sqlite browser. For that I need to specify the db file, but where is it located?
The question is where is the location for the emulator?
Where is it located on a real device?
Can I access it on a real device which is not rooted?

All databases are saved in:
/data/data/the.app.package.name/databases/the_name_of_db
And no, you cannot access that file in a non-rooted phone. Fortunately the emulator is rooted.

Open your application with emulator and go in DDMS. Then in FileExplorer go into data/data/application.package.name/databases/name_of_your_database. Then pull it from device

Using sqlite db created in Windows but to be accessed in Android

I already have a sqlite3 db file that I created in Windows, is there a way to package this file into my android application and access it as a sqlite db from within the application or do I have to create a db on application load or something in Android only?
The db has about a thousand records, so writing sql scripts again might be monotonous and cumbersome.

Got this link, seems to serve my purpose

Package it as an asset or raw resource. Copy it out from there onto the appropriate spot on the device. Downside: You will take up 1.5x to 2x the space on the flash (for the possibly-compressed copy stored in the APK plus the actual to-be-used copy).
Or, download the database from a server on first run.
