Is there a way to programatically get the path to the databases/files an application uses instead of hardcoding "data/data/mypackage.com/database.db" ?

Android includes a database engine (SQLite). In general, do the applications keep/manage their own databases (files) or is there a unifying database manager?
View 3 Replies View RelatedCan anyone tell me, is it possible to use the ADB to pull and push a database from an app, without root privileges on the phone? For example, I know the location on my rooted magic and dream is:
/data/data/com.xxxx.xxxx/databases/xxxx
I know that you can use ADB without root, but when trying to use the shell - you can't view that location without root privaliges. But I have been told you can use push and pull if you know the file you want? Basically I want to pull a database from MY app on a non rooted phone modify it and push it back on. Only trouble I have is, the two phones I have are both root and I don't have access to a non root one to try it out.
I read some stuff about SQLite databases to use them within my own application. so for this point, it should work.
BUT:
for most of my data stuff i need a database that i can directly put into my application. i read on stackoverflow that it's possible to put up to 1,2mb files in the assets folder and then copy them anywhere else to use them.
my question is:
is it possible to acces those databases in the assets folder directly to read from them? there's no need to insert data into this database, it's just a data storage to read from? is it possible? and if it is than how could i do this?
I want to add files to java app in android so I'll know their path and can access them.
How can I do it? (It doesn't matter where they will be the most important is that I can access them and I'll know the relative path of the them)
I've set set files to localhost an set the href links for the epub files.
<a href="more-utopia.epub" target="_blank"> more-utopia </a><br>
And I've try to browse from my custom web view but when I click to download the link, it appears no download and open the file in the browser with custom web view.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
WebView web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
web.loadUrl("http://10.0.2.2/epub");
web.setWebViewClient(new myWebView());
} class myWebView extends WebViewClient{
@Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
url = "http://10.0.2.2/epub/"; view.loadUrl(url); return true;
} }
What I want to do is to download the files and want to set path the download location to user selected location.

Is there a way to read the points created when drawing a path? It seems silly to me that a path cannot be readable.Or is it just better to manually write the current finger position to an array?

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy company is developing a new device that will run on Android. I'm tasked to develop the software installation process, including application installations and updates as well as system software updates. I want to leverage as much as possible from the Android SDK. I'm looking for any advice or references to help me get started. I've downloaded the source code for Android 2.1 and have been tracing the source code path for software installations via adb. The path has taken me through adb client -> adb server -> adb deamon - > PackageManagerService -> installd.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've made a few apps now, which use an SQLite database, no problems. In my latest app, I want two tables, and I just released that every example I can find only creates one table. So, is this a limitation? Must I use only one table? Assuming I can use two, how do I go about changing my create script?

This is easily done on ContentProviders via ContentObservers. How do I do the same when iterating over local databases?
Lets say Im creating an Android app for a company that already provides some sort of online service. I want my android app to extend this online service and I want the app to interact with my remote databases, would I embed a web browser in my application or directly connect to my remote database from within my code? If I am directly connected to a database from within code and not through a web browser, would that be a security risk since the connection info would be distributed in the code?

i use sqlite,i takes lot of time to retreive the data.
I have some external sqlite files I'd like to include with my app. It looks like I can add them to the /assets folder, then read them from there? Is the /assets folder the appropriate location for them?
I've used SQLiteOpenHelper to open databases my app creates at runtime, which just uses a unique db name. Will the sqlite files in the assets folder also be accessible using SQLiteOpenHelper in the same manner?
I'm trying this with my Nexus One.
I have the android SDK and have used the command
adb pull /data/data/com.myapp.android/databases C:pulls
but all I get is
pull: building file list...
0 files pulled. 0 files skipped.
Also, it seems no matter how much data I add to the tutorial NotePad app I installed, the data size for the app (as shown in Settings) never exceeds 8KB. How is this possible? Is there some other place where databases are stored? When I use the File Explorer view (that's part of ADT) in Eclipse, I see there's nothing in /data.
To add a twist, I have no trouble pulling any other files from the device. It's just databases I have trouble with.
Is there any tool that will allow me to browse databases on my Android device? Something like Sql Management Studio - you know GUI tool that displays databases, tables, row in tables, etc.
I'm using Eclipse for development (if it is important for plug-in suggestions).
Try to select (or update) from custom databases (for example mmssms.db) but on init I see " Unable to open the database file". Try send permissions in manifest <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS"/> but this doesn't help.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI managed to configure iJetty on the emulator and I am setting up both a REST-based and SOAP-based services on it.
Regarding sqlite3. I am able to run and control it remotely using the shell. is there a way to generate databases on the device using the remote tool? I didn't find any evidence that that is possible and I think the only way may be through the API. I just wanted to double check in case I missed this.
I've read the answer to a question as to how to access the contents of the databases, however I cannot seem to get it to work on my machine. Here is the shell log:
C:android-sdk-windows ools>adb -s emulator-5554 shell
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.demo.notepad2/databases/notes
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.demo.notepad2/databases/notes
SQLite version 3.5.9
Enter ".help" for instructions
sqlite> .tables
.tables
sqlite> ^C
C:android-sdk-windows ools>
SQLite simply echos my commands back to me, even although the Eclipse file browser tells me it exists. If I use the sqlite3 tool and use ".tables" the commands are accepted.
Is the SQLite syntax different through the emulator is am I missing something?
I apologize if this is a stupid question, nevertheless I need to ask. I am new to Android development and have gone through every single tutorial and reference provided. I have been doing great, with the exception of one stupid problem; I cannot find where the databases for some apps are stored.
For example I would like to build my own app that includes thousands of pre-made records from an established SQLite Database. As a reference I tried to use the "Searchable Dictionary" app from the provided programs in the Android SDK, but cannot find it.
I read that all databases are stored in /data/data//databases on the device, but I cannot find this location. So how would I access the database in Eclipse or anywhere else for that matter to set up my pre-configured database?
I'm trying to work with a web service (that I have no control over) that returns a SQLite database when you query it. Is there any way to do this?
