I am trying to reach the sqlite database on my device using the procedure described here: How can i see SQLite Database (No emulator)?
However, I keep on getting sqlite3 not found.
I assume I am meant to be entering the commands with the hash (#) sign at the start of the line.
I tried with it and got nothing.
Without it I get the error message.
The sqlite3.exe file is definitely there and in the path.
Do I have to install something?
Some manufacturers deliver the devices without sqlite being installed on them. You can copy the sqlite program though from a emulator to your device if the device has an arm processor.
Start the emulator and use the adb
command from the platform-tools
in android-sdk
adb pull /system/xbin/sqlite3
Mount the system partition of your device read/write after this tutorial:
http://android-tricks.blogspot.com/2009/01/mount-filesystem-read-write.html
Use the adb
command to copy the sqlite3 file to your device
adb push sqlite3 /system/xbin/
After you reboot your device the sqlite3
command should work.
Edit (copy from linked page - in the case link becomes invalid). The instructions for step 2 are:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
"Replace /dev/block/mtdblock3 & /system with appropriate device path and mount point, as obtained from cat /proc/mounts"
