I have an app running on my device. I am able to store and retrieve data, the question is how to view it? is there any gui available. I tried looking on the android device monitor while running my app at taskbar but under data nothing is available.
IDE: Android Studio
In Android Studio
Tools--> Android --> Android Device Monitor
In Android Device Monitor
Window --> Show View --> Android --> File Explorer
in File Explorer
data --> data --> Your Package Name --> databases --> sample.db
Pull the db file & you can browse your dbms using sqlite browser
Reference Screenshots
To pull the db file
If you are using real device then you cannot see the database in Android Device Monitor.
If you need to see your database then launch your application on Emulator and do the following steps:
Launch the Android Device monitor.
Select your package name
Click on File Explorer in DDMS window.
Go to data -> data -> your package name -> databases
You can export the file and view it in a sdf/sqlite browser.
Hope it helps.

I'm running Android Studio 1.3 and working on tutorial app. I'm using GenyMotion for testing purpose. I have written some code to create a database. Now I want to see whether that database has been created or not. If yes then where it is stored. In Eclipse we used to have DDMS Monitor but no such thing is present in Android Studio. So How to do so?
Easiest way is using Android Device Monitor to get the database file and SQLite DataBase Browser to view the file while still using Android Studio to program android.
1) Run and launch database app with Android emulator from Android Studio.
2) Run Android Device Monitor. How to run?; Go to [your_folder] > sdk >tools. You can see monitor.bat in that folder. shift + right click inside the folder and select "Open command window here". This action will launch command prompt. type monitor and Android Device Monitor will be launched.(There are other ways to open this too. Search it)
3) Select the emulator that you are currently running. Then Go to data>data>[your_app_package_name]>databases
4) Click on the icon (located at top right corner) (hover on the icon and you will see "pull a file from the device") and save anywhere you like
5) Launch SQLite DataBase Browser. Drag and drop the file that you just saved into that Browser. (You can view the database using any SQLite browser of your choice)
6) Go to Browse Data tab and select your table to view.
I am creating a sample application which will create a database, Inserts data and finally displays it in a spinner.
For testing I am using my android phone instead of Emulator (As I am fedup with its slow response).
My problem is application running succesfully but spinner is not displaying any result also I am unable to view any folder structure under DDMS->data.
I am confused whether database created or not, Please suggest me how to view the database if we use real device instead of emulatpor
You must start you emulator, browse the emulator files in the DDMS view then select File explorer then go to data > data > com.your.package > databases > your_database_name and a new tab will appear with your data! It won't work on a real device.
You can even pull/export the database and analyse it more effectively with SQLite Browser
enjoy !
You can't get SQLite databse file from an Android real device if it is not rooted. Because to access the data folder of your application you have to provide the permission for it.
But you can run your application in an android emulator and following is the way:
From DDMS, in Devices menu select your emulator.
You can see data folder in File Explorer.
Path is: data->data->Application Package Name->Databases->Database Name
U just goto File Explorer
Windows>show view>File explorer>data>package>database name to see your database
in emulator

I have develope one project on android n have made database using sql lite but how to find physical file of database in pc or in emulato
1.select DDMS
2.Select Device
3.select File Explorer
4.explore data
5.again explore another data in hierarchy
6.look for your package and select it
7.Inside your package you will see databases folder
8.Select your database
9.select pull a file from device
However file is not readable, to read the file either you have to use tool or terminal
One option is to download the database file using DDMS or adb pull and then use a desktop SQLite client to examine it.
adb pull /path/to/your/db
You can download this awesome plugin for Eclipse, and whenever you're running an emulator you can just use File Explorer to navigate to the data folder where the database is stored and open the plugin. It'll show the sqlite database in a wonderful spreadsheet for you
SQLite Browser for Eclipse
Through Eclipse:
window-->open perspective-->(Select your emulator or device if not selected)File Explorer --> data --> data -->select your package name --> databases --> you will be able to see database file with .db extension.
yeah to get this file on your local folder,
select your db file then on right side you will see icon,
select pull a file from the device,
store it where you want.
to see the content of this db file you can use #Jade Byfield suggested plugin, and also modify it
I am installing and running an android application on my phone and for some testing purpose i want to see the databases of my application that is on my phone.
now my question how to get those databases and the tables????
please reply
thank you in advance.....
To view the contents of your local database you need to download a software called Sqlite Studio: http://sqlitestudio.one.pl/
1.) Download and install Sqlite Studio on your computer
2.) Connect your phone to your computer, make sure you turn on USB Debugging. USB Debugging can be activated from Settings -> Applications -> USB Debugging (or Settings -> Developer Options -> USB Debugging if you are using Ice cream sandwich).
3.) Open DDMS view in Eclipse and open the File Explorer tab in DDMS and then go to data -> data -> (name-of-your-application) -> databases. Now pull the data file from the databases folder onto your computer.
4.) Open Sqlite Studio and import the data file that you have just pulled from your android phone.
5.) View the contents of your database!
Hope this helped. Don't hesitate to clarify if you didn't understand!
The steps described by Vishwa is correct if we run on emulator. But for real devices we don't have access to data folder using DDMS. You need to have a phone with root access in order to browse the data folder on an Android phone. That means either you have a developer device (ADP1 or an ION from Google I/O) or you've found a way to 'root' your phone some other way.
I am able to view the database from eclipse(from file explorer), but I want to view the whole detail, I mean the data that I have inserted, which I am unable. And my complete Android installation has made on F Drive.
You can access this folder using the DDMS for your Emulator. you can't access this location on a real device unless you have a rooted device.
You can view Table structure and Data in Eclipse. Here are the steps
Install SqliteManagerPlugin for Eclipse. Jump to step 5 if you already have it.
Download the *.jar file from here
Put the *.jar file into the folder eclipse/dropins/
Restart eclipse
In the top right of eclipse, click the DDMS icon
Select the proper emulator in the left panel
In the File Explorer tab on the main panel, go to /data/data/[YOUR.APP.NAMESPACE]/databases
Underneath the DDMS icon, there should be a new blue icon of a Database light up when you select your database. Click it and you will see a Questoid Sqlite Manager tab open up to view your data.
*Note: If the database doesn't light up, it may be because your database doesn't have a *.db file extension. Be sure your database is called [DATABASE_NAME].db
*Note: if you want to use a DB without .db-Extension:
Download this Questoid SqLiteBrowser: http://www.java2s.com/Code/JarDownload/com.questoid/com.questoid.sqlitebrowser_1.2.0.jar.zip
Unzip and put it into eclipse/dropins (not Plugins)
Check this for more information
Dowlnoad sqlite manager and install it from Here.Open the sqlite file using that browser.
Try this..
Download the Sqlite Manager jar file here.
Add it to your eclipse > dropins Directory.
Restart eclipse.
Launch the compatible emulator or device
Run your application.
Go to Window > Open Perspective > DDMS >
Choose the running device.
Go to File Explorer tab.
Select the directory called databases under your application's package.
Select the .db file under the database directory.
Then click Sqlite manager icon like this .
Now you're able to see the .db file.
I recommend the firefox plugin(SQLLite Manager) if you always use firefox.
Here is the link
If you are able to copy the actual SQLite database file to your desktop, you can use this tools to browse the data.
1. Download SQLite Manager
2. Go to your DDMS tab in Eclipse
3. Go to the File Explorer --> data --> data --> "Your Package Name" --> pull file from device 4. Open file in SQLite Manager.
5. View data.
Open DDMS than in DATA>DATA>"Select your package like com.example.foo"> than select your database folder than pull that data
in eclipse you can see the pull an push icon on top right side ...
If you don't want to download anything, you can use sqlite3 tool which is provided with adb :
Examining sqlite3 databases from a remote shell
and :
