You should be able to access the prefs database when you are not the current app. But remeber that you do not have access to your global variables.

Actually my application senses phone call and stores the data throgh PrefSetAppPreferences. It is working ok when my application is running but as my application can also sense the phone call while not running, when i use PrefSetAppPreferences at that time my system crashes. Is there any solution or should i make a new database that is accesible to both

    Of course you can - that's how preference viewer / editor utilties
    work. :)

    The better question is what you'd do with it. By definition, the
    usage of
    meaning of any given app preference is determined by the app itself.
    So unless
    it is your own app or you have access to the source or reverse
    engineer what it
    stores, the information may not be too useful.

    Trying to change another app's preferences may cause unpredictable
    behavior if
    you create an incompatible combination of preferences. But viewing
    should be
    save.
