Android SQLite database

I have an application on Android, which uses database (SQLite). And I want to see tables and values in this database. I use Eclipse and I have ADT installed. So I can easily run my apps on emulator. Anyway, it would be great to have some tool or a program? How can I actually see wh开发者_运维问答at is in db files? And how to find them? Thanks.

One way is by opening a shell to the emulator and then working with your database through the built in sqlite3 tool.

Example: Assume your app name is "com.example.myapp" and your database name is "mydb"

>adb -e shell
>cd data/data/com.example.myapp/databases
>sqlite3 mydb

at this point you should have a shell to work with your db.

Some useful commands:

.dump
.help
.schema
.exit

If you have a table called "my_table", you can use the select syntax to query.

select * from my_table;

Also, here's a link with more infO: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html#sqlite

If you're in the emulator, you can use adb pull command at a command prompt and then load the sqlite file in a sqlite viewer. I've used one that is a Firefox plugin and it worked great.

Note that this doesn't work when you deploy to an actual device...

adb pull only works with the emulator. You can get right to the db files on a rooted device as well.

The actualy db file will be a .sqlite file at the following location on the emulator:

data > data > your-package-name > databases > your-database-file.
