I am new to android. I have created an application in android which stores data in sqlite database. I want to view those table data by giving select * from tablename and so I have downloaded the sqlite database browser. I am trying to open the database from the sqlite browser but I am getting errors. Could you please tell us what databse file should we need to open from the source code to get the database into sqlite browser.
Thank you,
Here is a browser which will be as part of the eclipse environment follow this link and it might help you http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/questoid-sqlite-browser

For a schoolproject I have converted a php database from MySQL to MySQLi to use it in my android application.
I've looked into creating a android database using head's first book on android (2017) and according to that I need to manually create and insert every record in the database, but I already have all the data needed and one table even has 113 entries that need to be inserted.
Isn't there a way for me to import the existing database without completely creating it all over again?
Use SQLite browser , hope it helps .
Export SQL file from MySql and put it into assets folder. Read sql file from assets, use 'db.execSQL' method to create and insert all records of sql file. Some of the 'keywords' are working in SQLite of MySql so firstly remove these keywords from file.
I used PhoneGap to create a Sqlite db and access it to read data. So I want to find out where the Sqlite file is located in my android device. Please show me
If you use phonegap then your database will be at location
/data/data/package-name/app_database/file__0/0000000000000001.db
And all your tables will be stored there....
If your package is com.exampl.hello then
/data/data/com.example.hello/databases/databasefile
where databasefile is the name of your database.
I've been working on testing trying to get an SQL database off of a website then take all the records and store them into arrays. Problem is that I've tried a ton of downloading methods and I keep getting hit with an error with opening the SQL database. I can't tell if this is actually downloading, if the database is corrupt (I checked it and it looked correct) or if my queries are messed up. Bear with me because I am just learning SQL and Android development.
The file at the link you provide is not a SQLite database. It's an ASCII file that contains SQL statements for creating a database and inserting content. There's no straightforward way to execute the content of that file in an Android app.
To make this work you need to create an actual SQLite database from your SQL file. To do that, install SQLite for whatever your desktop OS is and use this command:
sqlite> .read <filename of your SQL file>
Replace the file on your website with the SQLite file that creates. That should get you past the open error.
What are you doing here is download your database from url and stored it in sdcard.
Now you should open a empty database in your app and then copy your database in your app database and then try to open it.(you are not copying the database) the default location of database is
private String DB_PATH = "/data/data/your package name/databases/";
I want to only read data from the SQLite database. When I am creating database and reading it it is working but I have already a database created and I want to read data from this database.
I am pushing the database to the sdcard and trying to run the application but it is not reading form the database. I want to know that if install this .apk file in device then my database will also shift to the device or not.
Common practice is to store initial data on assets/raw folders of application resources. Then during 1st run just create DB using SQL scripts like:
create table if not exist
Fill DB with initial data - and here you're.
I have the data in the android(Sqlite Database).How to transfer this database data's to the System Database( like Access or SQL Server).After Transfer this data's i have to use the data in the System.I am new to android. Can anyone help me.
Note:
If the android device have the Database db1.I wish to use the db1 data in the Desktop Application .
You can copy the database file to the desktop, and then open it there with SQLite. You could then export the data to CSV file, and import this one in the database of your choice.
The db file is present in "/data/app/" Your Application Package directory "/databases/" Your DB File.
Copy the file from this location and use the steps provided by Thomas Mueller.
