I created a app and added some tables, columns and some info in it and i want to check it, how do i do it?
Switch to DDMS perpective(Window > Open Perpective > DDMS).
Find out your database's db file in file explorer. Select it.
Export it by clicking on the button in the top right corner of the UI.(ie; Pull the file from from the device)
Use SQLiteman to view the data.
Hope it helps.
If you are running your app on the phone, you cant access your internal storage unless it is rooted. If that is your case simply run the app on a virtual device, then go to DDMS perspective, from there data/data/yourapplication/database/urdb.db then pull the db on the your computer and explore it with the tools stated above.
you can query the database from your android code to do this.
check the link http://codinglookseasy.blogspot.in/2012/08/sqlite-database.html where you can find creating table , inserting data into tables and retrieving it . Or use SQLite Database Browser http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/ to check the values without using the code
use Sqlite Database Browser tool to see the your Sqlite database.
Go to the DDMS and export your application database and open this database in Sqlite Database Browser
This post on how to access sqlite database on Android, will help you out. There is one mozilla plugin which can also help you to see the database.
I believe that Motodev Studio allows for database browsing.

Or you could just export the database to your desktop, for example, and then browse it with the Firefox SQLite plugin.

For testing, I wanted to manipulate the sqlite database for my Android app. I copied the database file to my laptop, edited the file with the Sqlite manager plugin for Firefox, and copied the file back to its directory.
I thought that would work, but the app crashes, because it can't open the database. The ownership and permissions of the file is like before.
Can someone explain to me why it won't work, or suggest how I could do instead?
1.Use Sqlite browser..download here
2.Pull your database to your computer..
3.Edit the database using sqlite browser
4.Delete the database from eclipse then push the edited database to your aplication Run the app to see the result
I created SQLite database in Android Studio (login form) and want to find it to check how many users I created, and for some other experiments, but I don't know where to find it. Does anyone show me right direction?
I use Stetho by Facebook and it's brilliant for this. Here is the link: http://facebook.github.io/stetho/
All the documentation to set it up is there, and it's all pretty simple.
You can check the SQLite Database and every modification you did with DB Browser.
DB Browser
Here's the link to download it https://sqlitebrowser.org/
Once you install it.
go to Android Studio -> app -> assets -> and right click your database , click Show in Explorer then drag and drop from the folder (where databse is) to the DB Browser
I pulled file database from device (DDMS) and I don't know how to show it like row and column.
Anyone have idea, tell me please.

If you just want to browse the database file. You can use http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/
For browsing sqlite database pulled from device, you can use Mozilla FireFox browser's plug-in, like this:-
Click on the **FireFox** --> **Web Developer** --> **Sqlite Manager**.
Sqlite Manager will get open, then click on the connect database item in the Database menu to include your database for browsing.
While these programs work for viewing a SQLite database file, the bigger issue on Android is that you need to root your phone or use the emulator if you want to actually pull the file onto your computer.
I have a app that has a database... So through DDMS i exported its database as .db so i want to know how do I open it to see its tables/values ? Is there a specific program that opens it ?
You can use any SQLite software, for example, SQLite Database Browser or SQLiteSpy. If you use FireFox, you can use SQLite Manager.
Also, if you have SSH-access to your rooted android device, you can use sqlite3 program from console and perform any SQL queries you want. By such way you do not need to copy database from device, and can debug what you need in real time.
I found out during the debug that my db is in:
/data/data/package-name/databases/...
how can i access this db from sqlite.exe (or with another tool) to run query / check what's in my tables to make sure that all fields are correct?
thanks very much! udi
You can use the sqlite3 util from a shell to an emulator.
Instructions here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/sqlite3.html
SQLite Database Browser is a freeware, public domain, open source visual tool used to create, design and edit database files compatible with SQLite. You can find it here.
As Ran suggested you can use the steps in the mentioned link , you need to use command prompt for it.
If you are using Eclipse IDE try opening DDMS and go to /data/data/package-name/databases/ there you can see your database , select the DB and Pull it on to your computer.
open the DB file with SQLLite3 database browser. You can alter your tables and push it back to the device using the IDE.
If the database is in the emulator, you can also do this from your PC command line: 'adb shell', then cd to the database location (/data/data/package_name/databases/) and run 'sqlite3 database.db'. I sometimes use this method for a quick table check, rather than copying the database from the emulator back to my PC.
