Can any body access the database files stored in application's data folder in android?

I am using the SQLite database to store data in my application. Can the databases I created for use in my application be accessed by others or any outside application?

No. The databse file is stored in /data/data/yourpackage.yourapp/database. On a non rooted phone, you don't even have file system access there. Other Applications can not access this file as well, for very good security reasons.

If you want to share data with other applications or want to consume data from other applications, check
