Android DbInspector

Provides a simple way to view the contents of the in-app database for debugging purposes. No need to pull the database from a rooted phone. Also supports inspecting of the sqlite databases created by CouchBase Lite since DbInspector version 1.1.0.

Usage

Add the library as a dependency to your build.gradle

debugImplementation 'im.dino:dbinspector:4.0.0'

Check the latest version on Maven Central.

Now you have a launcher icon for viewing you in-app database which appears only on debug builds. You can define @string/dbinspector_app_name to change the launcher icon label and @drawable/dbinspector_ic_launcher to change the launcher icon.

We also maintain a changelog.

Removing launcher icon

If you don't want the launcher icon to be shown, add this to your debug manifest:

<activity
    android:name="im.dino.dbinspector.activities.DbInspectorActivity">
    <intent-filter tools:node="removeAll">
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

Upgrading 3.x -> 4.x

DbInspector now uses androidx so you might have dependency clashes if you still use the legacy support lib, it's recommended to migrate to androidx.

Upgrading 2.x -> 3.x

Remove the DbInspectorActivity declaration from your app manifest, this declaration is now included in the library manifest and it gets merged in with your app manifest during the build process.

Upgrading 1.x -> 2.x

Change the theme set to DbInspectorActivity your app manifest to an AppCompat theme. DbInspectorActivity extends ActionBarActivity since 2.0.0.
