I am creating an Android Application and I recently downloaded a SQLite Database Browser. I have created a database which has 3 tables. Now I'm wondering on how to import the created database into Eclpise IDE.
I hope someone could help..
You have to put your SQLiteDatabase file inside the assets folder of your project.
Open the DDMS perspective in Eclipse. There you should have a tab saying File Explorer (remember to select your emulator device in the Devices tab). You can use this to browse to your database file on the emulator. The database should be located in \data\data\[name_of_your_app]\databases. You can then select the database file (.db) and copy it to a local folder (there is a Pull a file from the device button in the upper right corner of this tab).
Also note that this is only possible on an emulator, since you're not allowed to browse the content on a real device this way.

The sqlite base file is stored in path data/data/my-package-name/databases/mybase.db
(Where does Android emulator store SQLite database?)
Sometimes, i get this file on a remote real device and i would like to copy it to android emulator on my Android Studio for debugging. In other words, i want that my application on Android Studio uses this base. How can i do it?
Another possibility: how to copy this base to a my real device who is connected to PC by USB cable
thanks a lot,
regards
Start your emulator.
Open Device File Explorer (a tab button at the bottom right side of Android Studio).
Go to the folder data/data/my-package-name/.
If there is no subfolder databases then create it by right clicking on the my-package-name folder and then New->Directory where you type databases and click OK.
Now right click on the folder databases and click Upload....
Navigate to the SQLite file that you want to copy, select it and click OK.
I am developping an Android apllication i wich i have an sqlite database which i want to extract the file (.db) to manage it with a manager (like sqlitemanager for example).
For that, i searched in many sites and the answer of the "how question" was the same, it consists of the following steps ( from http://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/4991/copy-sqlite-db-into-android-app ) :
1) Open the Android-sdk-windows
2) then open the tools
3) then ddms open
4) Dalvik Debug Monitor is open
5) then Device -> File Explorer.
6) data/data/your_project_package/files/your_database_file.db
7) copy your_database_file.db and open sqlite manager
I have followed these steps normally but my problem is that my data folder is empty !!, it does contain any another folder, and am getting this although i installed the application on the device, so i do not know what is the problem source.
I will be gratefull for any help
Thanks.
In the image below,Let if com.android.browser is the package name of your application then your database will be created in the db folder (not in the image ) as a sibling of lib.
Note: While working with sqlite database in android,I came to know that the created database will not show up even after the create statement for the tables are executed.They(the databases) are visible only in the DDMS file explorer, when some row is inserted in the table.So make sure you are performing some insertion before you start dealing with the database.
I implemented my first app using Xamarin Studio (Mono for Android). This app stores some data in a SQLite db, which works fine on a Sony Tablet S device.
My question is: is there a way to get db file and see, for example, its size?
I looked up to the following path
/data/data/My-Application-Package-Name/databases/My-database-name
but it doesn't seem to exist.
Thanks for any help!
You can use Eclipse to go right to it using the sqlite manager plug-in (http://www.coderzheaven.com/2011/04/18/sqlitemanager-plugin-for-eclipse/)
Download the *.jar file from the website I reference above to the
"dropins" folder in eclipse (open your eclipse folder and you should
see it)
Then restart eclipse and go to the DDMS. You may have to do
windows->views-ddms if it isn't already being displayed...
Select your device from the left panel then use the file explorer to go to your data
directory/YOURAPP/databases. Hopefully there will be an icon that
shows up when you select your database. If not, rename your database to use the "db" ext.
Click it and it should open in the manager tab.
This is a valid database location (//data/data/My-Application-Package-Name/databases/My-database-name), but you can access it from file managers if you have root access only.
Look how it can be done here. Otherwise, if you want to get some info trough the code, you're doing something wrong, so publish the code and logcat.
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 :
Command Line Shell For SQLite
i am new in android database.i downloaded sqlite database browser.
can u give me the steps how to use already generated database in android sdk with eclips.
give me proper structure where to store database in eclips folder structure
When you create a database in your application, it is stored in
/data/data/com.zenika.droidcontact/databases/nameOfYourDatabase.db
You can find this file by going in the DDMS perspective in Eclipse, in the file explorer view, select the emulator and then, follow the path here above to your file. Then, select it and you can use the "Pull a file from device" to get this database on to your computer. Then you can start SQLite Database Browser. now you can open your file, modifiy it in the software, execute request with the 3rd tab, browse tables and data with the first and second. Then, you can save the database modified and push it back onto the emulator just the same way as you pulled it, but with the push button.
Is this clear or do you need more explanation?
