SQLite backup inside Android

I need to make a backup from an Android App

I have to get a backup from a self-developed Android app. I know how to do it using a PC with ADB, but this time isn't possible to use ADB because the device is far away and the app is already in production. We can only connect with AnyDesk. Anyone know how can I get the data inside the Android device?

Solution

  • Assuming the app database is located in the app private folder below /data/data/ then I see only one option:

    Develop an export function for your app and make it available to that (or all) customer.

    Assuming you have published the app via Play Store you can e.g. create a test release and invite the customer that runs the phone where the database should be exported.
