adb: error: remote object '/data/data/com.me.myproject' does not exist

Question

1. Added adb path to ~/.bash_profile

export PATH="/Users/myname/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools:$PATH"

2. Logged in to emulator

adb -s emulator-5554 shell

3. changed permission of the app folder and parent folder

chmod 777 /data/data/com.me.myproject
chmod 777 /data/data

4. Still can not get stuff from outside. Why?

adb -s emulator-5554 pull /data/data/com.me.myproject

Answer 1

I had the same problem and I did this:

1. adb shell
2. run-as com.yourPackageName (not rooted device)
3. cp 'database/file_you_want.db' '/sdcard/file_you_want.db'
4. exit
5. exit (now you will be back to main terminal window)
6. adb pull /sdcard/xx.db

Answer 2

That's because your debugging Android device is not rooted.

If you have a physical rooted device or have an emulated device, try executing this before, to restart ADB in root mode. Then any command should work:

adb root

Answer 3

The reason is the file you wanted to copy needs root permission. It's better to copy the file to /mnt/sdcard/ where you have a right to interact with.

1. cp <file> /mnt/sdcard/
2. adb pull /mnt/sdcard/<file>
