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)

I'm using Android Studio in macOS. My application has a Realm Database with a lot of tables.
I'd like to get the database from my device and put it in a file (.realm) and open the file in Realm Studio.
Maybe using ADB I could get the database from my phone ?
You can find your realm file in the Device File Explorer tab at the bottom right of Android Studio. The location will be /data/data/com.<package-name>/files/default.realm assuming you haven't named your realm file. Simply right-click and "Save As" to a location on your PC and open in Realm Studio. You can't view the realm file on the actual device so you will have to download this realm file every time you want to inspect what's happening in realm. This also means that you need to download the realm file every time you make a change in realm that you want to inspect as you're not actually opening the realm file on the device.
I've solved this by writing adb pull /data/data/packagename/files/ . in terminal.
package name Eg. com.example.helloworld
adb pull /data/data/com.example.helloworld/files/ .
after doing that write open . in terminal and you'll have the file default.realm
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.
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
I'm starting out with a small app using programmatically created sqlite db.
Is there a way to inspect that db when the app is running on emulator?
You can download the database file from the device to your PC and then use any SQLite browser / tool to inspect the database.
Either via the adb commandline tool from the Android SDK tools
adb pull /data/data/your.app.package.here/databases/yourdatabasefile.db
or via the device browser (File Explorer) in Eclipse in the DDMS perpective (maybe that exists in IntelliJ too, Idk)
or the new Android SDK tools provide a neat standalone version of that DDMS perspective & the file explorer via the new Device Monitor tool (android-sdk/tools/monitor.bat)
This is now possible with IntelliJ IDEA 14:
https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/accessing-android-sqlite-databases-from-intellij-idea.html
A partner found a more dynamic solution, using an ADB plug-in you can simply choose the database and refresh the inspector any time you want
first, you need to download the plug in jar
https://github.com/tklerx/android-sqlite-browser-for-eclipse
(go to releases and choose the latest)
then place the jar into [YourAndroidSdkDirectory]/tools/lib/monitor-x86_64/plugins/
Restart ADB
Done! now run an emulator, create your database and browse in the ADB to find it on data/data/ ...
Select it and click new the Database buton up right
(you may not see the button before selecting the database file)

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.
