How to Access/Read Android Device side database

 

Part I: A simple Android Native Application Development

 

In this second part, i would like to discuss how we can access client side data (for android devices).

 

Here i am assuming application has been loaded to the android device already.

 

  • Go to Window>Open Perspective>Other

 

    • Open DDMS Perspective

  • Go to File Explorer tab under DDMS. On the left hand side you will see Android emulator is up and running. On right hand side a list of folders, files related to the same emulator are listed.

  • Go to data>data>Package Name (com.mycorp.sup101.android.app)
  • Under package folder you will one.ulj (SUP1011_0.ulj) file.

 

Usually for all android app, database files are present in form of .db file.Here i am surprised i didnt see any database .db file under databases folder in package folder.

 

  • Just pull this file by selecting it and click on Pull a File from the device icon. You can keep this file anywhere. i.e. desktop

  • Rename .ulj extension with .udb

 

  • Next and important task is to open this udb file. Navigate to below path

 

C:\Sybase\UnwiredPlatform\Servers\SQLAnywhere12\BIN32

 

look for scjview.exe

I hope it will solve the problem for accessing device side data for android devices.
