Phonegap Database Location

Question

I have developed a phonegap application using cordova-2.4.0 for android. I have used the following code to create a database.

      var db = window.openDatabase(g_dbName, "1.0", "MyDB", 1000000);

I want to retrieve the location in my android device where the database file is created.

Check my answer on this question. I wrote a plugin for cordova that gets the database full path on the android device, however it currently does not work in other platforms.

• To view the database you need an Android Emulator, follow these steps:

Open Eclipse. Click on Windows > Open Perspective > DDMS. Go to File Explorer.

enter image description here

Then go to /data/data/package_name/databases (My package name was com.example.Sample).

enter image description here

You can see the database.
