How to get the current sqlite database size or package size in Android?

Question

I can't get the total amount of data used by an Android Application (or package), because the official API support has been deleted:

http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/df94daae34336aad/f96a8425549c6637 (is this still the current situation?)

Getting installed app size (unsopported hack - do not use it)

So is there any way to get the current sqlite database size? I've found a getMaxSize method or getPageSize but I'm not able to find the total number of pages.

You can use this raw query as well, on sqlite 3.16.0+:

SELECT page_count * page_size as size FROM pragma_page_count(), pragma_page_size();

It returns the "size" column with the single row.
