Get SQLite file on Android

Question

I am trying to access the sqlite file on my android phone running ICS, of an application that I have developed but the data directory is empty. Any ideas on where is it and how to access it? I would like to have a look on the tables and their values to ensure that everything works properly.

it is stored in \data\data\PACKAGENAME\databasefile

But unless your phone is rooted, you won't be able to access that directory

It is not rooted. /data contains only shared_prefs directory – JustCurious Jan 15 '12 at 21:01
that's correct. Please read [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1105219/android-where-are-database-files-stored). I am sure there are existing code to let you export the database and examine it. – guinny Jan 15 '12 at 21:03

If you are running on a real device than it has to be rooted, but if you run it in the emulator you will have root access and can obtain the files you need.
