I want to have an SQLite db in my flutter app, so i followed this flutter cookbook: https://flutter.dev/docs/cookbook/persistence/sqlite I open the database with the following path: join(await getDatabasesPath(), 'doggie_database.db') exactly like the tutorial. I ran the app on my Android phone (not emulator). Now i want to inspect the database file on my PC, but i cannot find the file on my phone. I debugged the above statement and it resolves to /data/user/0/*mypackage*.*app-name*/databases/doggie_database.db , but i can't find the folder /data (only Android/data ) or the file in my file manager neither on my phone nor on my pc. Where is the file and how can i extract it from my phone? I found the solution that works on Android. It is possible to extract the database file by using adb.
