Why I can't view a local SQLite database when I debug Android application on Kindle Fire device?

I'm developing an Android application and I debug it on Kindle Fire device. I implemented all the steps which is needed to debug on Kindle Fire and everything works good.But the problem I can't view my application's SQLite database on device.I use this plugin http://www.tylerfrankenstein.com/browse-android-emulator-sqlite-database-eclipse to view SQLite database on emulator, and now I want to do this on device.But when I go to the data folder in File Explorer i see that it is empty: How can I fix this and use SQLIte browser on Kindle Fire device? Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • You cannot access files on internal storage from DDMS on production hardware.

    You can try using adb shell run-as to be able to pull the database using the command-line adb client: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8434477/115145

    adb shell
run-as com.corp.appName
cat files/myFile.txt > /mnt/sdcard/myFile.txt
