Typically, to get a database on your computer from either the emulator, or the actual device, the commands go something like this for me
> adb shell $ su # cd /data/data/my.package.name/databases # ls my_database.db # chmod 777 my_database.db # exit $ exit > adb pull /data/data/my.package.name/my_database.db ~/my_database.db For the pull, I am on linux, so my destination path looks like ~/blah. On windows, mark is correct - it should look something like C:/asdf Naturally, the file my_database.db does not exist locally (that is, on the computer) before this command, so it is created if it is not there. The su command at the beginning simply allows you to change directories and list directories more easily, it is not required. Without su, you could do cd /data and a list (ls) would likely fail, citing permission problems Thanks, Hamy On Jun 19, 3:02 pm, Georgy <[email protected]> wrote: > if not could you please give me an example of > > adb pull <remote> <local> > > I can't figure out the destination of my files.. > > thanks > > On Jun 19, 3:51 pm, Georgy <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Is there anyway to do so from DDMS without dealing with the security > > issues of the device?
