Sqlite plugin for Eclipse: debug sqlite database on Android device live

Question

I want to debug database on android device. My application is very heavy and I do too much insertion queries and other stuff so running on emulator is hell slow so I am debugging it on Android phone.

But I could not debug database, like in Iphone you can see even insertion made into database. I want to see the current situation of database without rooting my phone and pulling it from my phone and then opening it into some 3rd party software.

Is there any way to debug Android database on mobile phones without rooting and pulling database out?

There is tool sqlite3 but the problem is that when you connect to shell it shows you ugly data and furthermore if database is not created running any query actually creates database in database folder so you would never knew that your database was not created by your logic.

I hope you understand what I am looking for.

I had the very same problem and after a search I found this one SQLiteManager plugin for Eclipse which is a plugin for eclipse allowing you to see and browse your data strait from SQLite DB

To use this it's easy, start you emulator, browse the emulator files in the DDMS view then go to data > data > com.your.package > databases > your_database_name.db (note the db extension is mandatory) and a new tab will appear with your data! It won't work on a real device (maybe on a rooted one?)

Hope it will work for you :)
