I have Eclipse installed on a Windows 7 PC and I'm writing my app there, using an emulator.
In DDMS within Eclipse, I can see the database my app has created BUT it is shown in a UNIX directory structure, as I might find it on an Android device, not in the context of a Windows directory structure.
The file must exist physically on my C: drive or a network drive somewhere but I've done a search with windows explorer and it cannot find the DB. I can find all my project files ok.
Any ideas?
The DB, like any other files the app creates are stored in the emulator. Most likely there is only an image of the whole emulator file system stored on the host. you will not find the individual files.
To get access to them, they can be exported via adb or via the Eclipse DDMS user interface. This is just like working with a real device.
Here is a simple way to view the data in your .db file:
1. In DDMS, select the .db file in the File Explorer and click on Pull File. This way you can save the file somewhere on your PC like your desktop for instance.
2. One way to see the data in the file is to use the SQLite Manager add-on for Firefox.
Try the following steps.
Eclipse -> Window -> Show View -> others -> File Explorer -> data -> data -> your project package -> databases.
You can export your database in this location.

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 have an error due to the contents of a file stored in internal storage on my Android Emulator. (I wrote it to file). Is there a way I can view the internal storage used by my app in windows?
I've searched through my whole project folder, sdk, workspace etc and cant find anything. I saw someone in another question say it was in the /data folder, but i dont know where to look for that either.
Thanks
If you want to view the folder/file structure of the running emulator, you can do that with the Android Device Monitor which is included with the SDK.
Specifically, it has a File Explorer, which allows you to browse the folder structure on the device. It also has buttons which give you the adb push/pull functionality but from a GUI if this is easier for you to use.
In Android Studio on Mac you can go to View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer. Here you can use a finder-like structure.
They are stored in an img file inside the avd directory. If you are using Linux you can mount the img file via:
sudo mount -o loop ~/.android/avd/<youremulator>/sdcard.img <mountpoint>
Not sure if there is a way in Windows or Mac to view the contents of the img since they are either in ext3, ext4, or yaffs file system format (depending on what you are emulating) and windows doesn't easily support those file systems.
Your best bet is to use adb to copy the file directly out of the emulator while it is running as shown in adb --help:
adb pull <remote> [<local>] - copy file/dir from device
In Android Studio 3.2 and later you can access a device's internal storage by using the menu item
View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer
See this article for details: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/device-file-explorer
...and this one to find out where the other components of Android Device Monitor ended up: https://developer.android.com/studio/profile/monitor
In Android N emulator you can easily get access Internal Memory.
Go to Emulator:
Settings -> Memory -> Internal Storage -> Others
Then a pop up will open. Click on explore. Then you will get access of Internal Storage.
in Android Studio 4.1 and later you can access a device's internal storage by using the menu item
View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer -> storage
First of all, I have tried to get the SQLite file from DDMS in Eclipse. However, the data folder is empty.
Then, I researched on google and I found that this may be my device haven't root.
Is it true?
Does there any other methods that I can debug the SQlite file even if my device do not need to root?
If You have the database file then you can Browse it.Their is Plug-In for Morzilla Firefox called SQLite Manager.Now you can Export the sqlite file..i mean database file from eclipse DDMS to your PC and import that file in the SQLite Manager..their you can see all your tables and Data for Debugging purpose.This was the way i used.
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)
