Know Where Database Gets Stored In Android Studio
Android comes with a default database SQlite and it shortens the time for deployment, since there is no need to deploy and link a new database, it could be done in the Android Studio itself.
Let’s say you created a database with tables programmatically and your application worked perfectly, but you want to check whether the record inserted successfully in database table or not. This article is for those who doesn’t have an idea, where the database gets stored in Android Studio.
Let’s start!
Here, we have taken the following files,
Package: amit.net.OnlineElectionsApplication
Database Name: loginnew
Step 1:
Run application in which you created your database. Here, we have created an Application with Database name “loginnew”.
Run your application as in the following screenshot by going to Run, then clicking Run ‘app’.
You can also run by just pressing “Shift + F10″,
