How to get database file on Android

Question

In my Android application I want to export my database. But I am not getting the file. Please check the code below.

File data = Environment.getDataDirectory();
 String  currentDBPath= "/data" +"/data/"+ "com.edsys.eyfs"
                       + "/databases/" + "EdsysEyfsDB";
               Log.d("current path of db", currentDBPath.toString());


File currentDB = new File(data, currentDBPath);
               Log.d("backup database", currentDB.toString());

I am checking in android emulator. I am not getting any message on "backup database" log. Please help me to find solution for this

Your question is not very clear. What exactly are you asking. Also, you can retrieve the full database path with *File db= context.getDatabasePath("Databasename.db");* — Kuffs, Sep 30 '13 at 08:07
