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.

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
