I'm working on an Android application that stores data in a SQLite database. My question is, where does this database file get stored on the filesystem when you're using an emulator?
I have seen that it's stored in
/data/data/package_name/databases
but I need to know where on my local machine's hard drive that actually maps to. The database persists on multiple runs of the emulator, even after having shut down the machine, so it can't just reside in RAM...
In Android Studio 3.4.1, you can use the search feature of Android Studio to find "Device File Explorer" and then go to the /data/data/package_name/database directory of your emulator.
according to Android docs, Monitor was deprecated in Android Studio 3.1 and removed from Android Studio 3.2. To access files, there is a tab in android studio called "Device File Explorer" bottom-right side of developing window which you can access your emulator file system. Just follow
/data/data/package_name/databases
good luck.
For Android Studio 3.5, fount it using instructions here: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/device-file-explorer (View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer -> -> databases
