How do I pull the sqlite database from the android device? [duplicate]

Answer 1

from version 24 onwards i use these commands to pull database

adb shell
run-as package.name
cat /databases/database.db > /sdcard/database.db
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/database.db

prior to version 24

adb pull /data/data/package name/databases/database.db

was sufficient

Answer 2

If you use eclipse then go to DDMS view . from File Explorer Tab ->data->data->application package name->databases-> databse name

select database db file then click pull button

Answer 3

I know this is an old question, however this is what I did to pull the SQLite Database file from app on device.

1. Saving the file from app package to device sdcard

adb -d shell "run-as com.dautechnology.abdimuna.smartparking cat /data/data/<myAppPackageName>/databases/<databaseFileName> > /sdcard/<databaseFileName>"

The above command will store file to /sdcard You can verify the file by adb shell ls sdcard/ Then exit from adb shell by typing exit

2. Pull the file from sdcard to your current working location.

adb pull sdcard/<databaseFileName>

3. Move the file to Desktop or place of your desire.

mv <databseFileName> ~/Desktop

I hope this helps someone out there.

The best way to view and manage you android app database is to use this library https://github.com/sanathp/DatabaseManager_For_Android

Its a single java activity file ,just add the java file to your source folder you can view the tables in your app database , update ,delete, insert rows to you table .Everything from your app.

When the development is done remove the java file from your src folder thats it .

It helped me a lot .Hope it helps you too .
