SQLite database location

Question

Using Eclipse to build an Android app. When I create/open a database (SQLite) my log indicates that its location is /data/data/package/databases/dbname. Is there a way to access this db using one of the Windows-based SQLite managers, eg; SQLite Database Browser. The path must be the path as it would be on the device, but I cannot find the DB on my Windows box. Any help appreciated by this Android novice.

Only if the database is on an emulator, or possibly a rooted device. There is no way to access the database file on standard production hardware. – CommonsWare Jun 14 '12 at 17:27

You could actually use a BackupAgent to access the database. You can't access it from a Explorer like windows howver you can code it. See this thread for more info:
