This question is related to android sqlite

The answer is


Dowlnoad sqlite manager and install it from Here.Open the sqlite file using that browser.


I recommend the firefox plugin(SQLLite Manager) if you always use firefox.

Here is the link


Try this..

  1. Download the Sqlite Manager jar file here.

  2. Add it to your eclipse > dropins Directory.

  3. Restart eclipse.

  4. Launch the compatible emulator or device

  5. Run your application.

  6. Go to Window > Open Perspective > DDMS >

  7. Choose the running device.

  8. Go to File Explorer tab.

  9. Select the directory called databases under your application's package.

  10. Select the .db file under the database directory.

  11. Then click Sqlite manager icon like this Sqlite manager icon.

  12. Now you're able to see the .db file.

Happy coding.....


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.

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


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 ...
