Extract application database from android device through adb

How can I extract the database of an application from an android device through an adb shell command?

Solution

  • Databases are stored in files, mostly on internal storage, in App's data directory like :

    /data/data/com.example.myapp/mydb

    so you can do 

    adb pull /data/data/com.example.myapp/mydb

    Then you can use some software to open that file, and work with data base. To place it back:

    adb push <new file> /data/data/com.example.myapp/mydb
