How Do I Open a Database File on Android?

Published in Android Apps 2 mins read

You can open a database file on Android using a file manager app or a dedicated database viewer app.

Using a File Manager App

Most file manager apps on Android can open database files.

  • Open your file manager app.
  • Navigate to the folder where your database file is located.
  • Tap on the database file.
  • The file manager app will attempt to open the file using a compatible app.

If your file manager app doesn't have a built-in database viewer, you can install a separate app.

Using a Database Viewer App

There are several database viewer apps available on the Google Play Store, such as:

  • SQLite Editor: This app allows you to view, edit, and manage SQLite databases.
  • DB Browser for SQLite: This app offers a comprehensive set of tools for working with SQLite databases.
  • SQL Database Manager: This app provides a user-friendly interface for managing and querying databases.

These apps allow you to view the contents of your database file, including tables, columns, and data.

Note: Some database files may be encrypted or protected by passwords. In these cases, you may need to provide the appropriate credentials to access the data.
