I have an android application apk file. I want to open a database file from apk file: is there any official tool to open a database file from apk file?
By using extractor I extract that apk file. Finally I get some files namely assets, bin, lib, res folder, but I cant find the database file and layout files.
I searched the path given below:
assets->data
but I didn't found that data folder inside the assets folder. Why?

Database that is actually used is not stored in the APK. It needs to be in a writable location. Canonically it's in databases under the application's data directory e.g. /data/data/package.name/databases . Many apps generate their databases dynamically in code.
apk? For normal apps, there are stored in internal memory in /data/app. Some of the encrypted apps, the files are stored in /data/app-private. For apps stored in the external memory, files are stored in /mnt/sdcard/Android/data.

Many apps generate their databases dynamically in code. Some apps ship with a pre-populated database in assets, but even they need to copy it to a writable location before using.
