This tutorial will show you how to open a SQLite datbase from your Android emulator.
This requires Eclipse and the Android plugin. If you don't have them, follow this tutorial.
This also requires a SQLite viewer. I used SQLite Database Browser.
This can really help you debug some issues with your SQLite database!
With a few modifications, you should also be able to do this with your Android phone. The only problem I ran into was a permissions issue getting to the database file. I have not rooted my phone. There may also be other ways to get at it without rooting your phone.
This requires Eclipse and the Android plugin. If you don't have them, follow this tutorial.
