[android-developers] Copy a database from a retail phone to a development phone?
I have a need to examine the contacts and call log databases. My development phone has no contacts; it also has no SIM card, and hence no calls. I need realistic data, so I can't just add some random garbage. The obvious answer is to copy the database from my personal (2.1u1 retail build) phone to my development (2.2 debug build) phone. How? I can `adb pull` the databases from my development phone but (while I can `adb shell` to my retail phone, once I turn on USB debugging) I can't `adb pull` the databases from my retail phone. Is there a better way than writing an export utility that will dump the retail databases to text files, and an import utility that will append that data to the debug databases? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

You don't have permissions for pulling out those files from a retail device. So, you just can't. Try setting up emulator with some contacts, calls etc. You can pull out the files from an emulator though.

you can export your contacts on your retail phone onto the sdcard, pull them onto your computer, push them onto your development phone, import them onto that dev phone. don't know about call logs...
