Hi Guys, I'm having the same issue. I just go a dev phone and i'm used to wiping the database of my ap by removing it using eclipse from the /data/data/<my-ap's-namespace>/databse.db location.
Now i'm developing on a dev phone I don;t have access to /data/. I've installed terminal emulator but I need to know what command to use as a recursive chmod on data returns the error message 'bad mode'. # chmod 777 -R /data/ Any help greatly appreciated! I'm trying different database setups, the sql is bundled with the apk, the database remains upon reinstallation of the app via eclipse and hence I need to remove it manually (A better approach would also be a welcome suggestion).
