Find Device File ExplorerĪfter opening the Android Studio you need to find the “Device File Explorer” which you can generally find at the right bottom of the Android Studio. Launch Android Studio and open File > Open > “Your project”/android directory. If you are working with the Real Device, you can connect it with the development machine or if you are using emulator then you are ready for the next point. So for the safer side insert the data in the application’s database using your app. I know it’s not a point to mention but believe me, I got some queries in which people forgot to insert the data in the database but still, they want to see the data. Open SQLite Database Stored in Device using Android Studio 1.

Note: You can only see the database of the debug app, not of the release app. So here are the steps to see the SQLite database of the app installed in a particular device: Now the question comes in everybody’s mind is How to See SQLite Database Data Saved in Device.


When you are providing the database while developing the application, app builder takes the database from the reference location and copy it to the APK and after deploying that APK into the device the database will be managed in the device only so the database that you have provided on your PC/laptop is just for the starting, it is not the same database that device modifies. In the second case, they provide the database from as a reference in the asset /www directory and that database will be used by the application and after modifying the data in the database they look for the change in the same database which is confusion point. If we talk about the database that we make in runtime then we can understand that but most people get confused in the second case when we use the pre-populated database. While developing the application either we provide the pre-populated database or make the database at runtime but in both cases, we can not see the database of the device directly. There are lots of confusion in people related to How to see the SQLite database? and that is the main reason behind writing this post. This is an extended post of our previous post Example of SQLite Database in React Native and Example to Load Pre Populated SQLite Database in React Native. This post has the steps to see the data stored in the SQLite database in the device. Here is How to See SQLite Database Data Saved in Device using Android Studio.
